I knew that property taxes are high in NH but property tax is a municipal tax and does not explain how the state gets revenue to operate. Someone said the state owned liquor business but others felt that the revenue from that operation was not that much. Others said that NH has a corporation tax. I went to check out the NH web site and found this innovative tax reform idea coming out of New Hampshire. Maine cannot use such an approach because Maine uses special interest economics in which the state corporation works for the interests of it's targeted sector- defined as Jobs providing above average incomes ( the top half of the median household income-which divides the economy into two parts) Not only that but it is the policy of Maine's centrally managed economy to tax the workers but to tax-exempt the owners of production.

In June, rating agencies issued their outlooks for Maine’s creditworthiness. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services assigned its AA rating to our long-term bonds, while Moody’s Investor Services affirmed its Aa2 rating and upgraded its forecast of Maine’s debt from negative to stable. The agencies cited several major factors that influenced the strong ratings, including repayment of $748 million in MaineCare’s hospital debt; substantial public pension reform; and measures to control costs in the MaineCare program, which provides “free” taxpayer-subsidized health care to more than 300,00

I was recently threatened to be blocked from posting for  criticizing Governor Lepage- which she called "tiresome" Beth O'Connor   Mackenzie at every turn you bash our Governor, who is doing a good job. You have also derailed the context of this thread and this is not the first time. The BOD of MTU fully support Governor LePage and your constant assaults on him are becoming tiresome in this forum. I have never limited discussion in this forum, but am seriously considering it. Do you think Michaud or Cutler will be better? I am for no current candidate running for the Governor of Maine.I know some would argue apparent "fiscal responsibility" reasons for voting for LePage but LePage is a corporate state CEO and governs with a phi

I was recently in a conversation with a candidate for the Maine legislature. I am not revealing his identity as the intention is not to hurt his campaign, being that he was decent in engaging in conversation and he is in the regard that I write about here representative of the culture in Augusta in general. Henceforth I will refer to him as Candidate  I was questioning Candidate's support of a Maine Bank, a movement that I had become cognizant about during my research efforts for A Maine Citizen's Journey Through The Statutes of Transformation . We debated many of the points for and against such a new government function but during the course of our dialogue, my question about how one reconciles the establishment of a State Bank, which would surely be established as yet another corporate instrumentality of the state, with Article IV Part Third Of The Maine State Constitution: As it is presented in Time Line Part Third.
