Taxpayer Bill of Rights Fact of the Day

Maine—King of the High Tax Hill

On November 7, voters in Maine will be given the opportunity to vote on the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which would limit increases in state and local government spending to the rate of inflation plus population growth and would require voter approval for all tax and fee increases.
Years of out-of-control spending has created a mountain-sized tax burden in Maine.

• Maine has ranked the highest in state and local tax burden in the US for the past 12 years
• Maine has the highest property taxes in the nation
• Maine has the 7th highest income taxes in the nation

Its time for Maine to climb down from the tax and spend heap.
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights will restore fiscal sanity and bring Maine to the national level.
Vote YES on November 7th!
