From the Legislature: Tax Conformity Must Benefit Middle Class
2018 is getting off to a good start, following the passage of federal tax reform that I believe will help small businesses and low- and middle-class earners here in Maine.

Hello, friends and neighbors!
I hope you all had the opportunity over the holidays to do something that made you happy. Maybe you spent time with family and friends whom you love. Maybe you received a fun gift from someone or were delighted by a recipient’s reaction to your gift.
