As sent by Knox County Chair Chapman,
Just a quick reminder that Maine Heritage Policy Center's Fiscal Sanity Tour is at the Samoset Resort in Rockport on February 5. The details and how to sign up to attend are below.
Augusta lawmakers want to spend $840 million more than they collect in taxes; and many are proposing higher taxes so they can keep on spending! If you would prefer a return to Fiscal Sanity, come and hear about Maine's Spending Addiction and the Road to Recovery.
You will learn: · What Top 40 state programs have exploded in the past decade while 550+ others have remained flat?· Where does Maine spend so much more than other states, and what do we get for it?· What state agencies are overstaffed and/or overpaid, compared with other states?· What should be done (by you and by lawmakers) to create a state government taxpayers can afford and which respects individual liberties to make Maine better, freer and more prosperous?
