Fried Column on Tax Cuts

In her biweekly column in the Bangor Daily News, UMaine political scientist Amy Fried comments on a plan set forth by Maine’s governor to cut taxes first. Fried writes that tax cuts could mean the cutting of programs such as Head Start, assisted living for seniors, MaineCare and Medicaid. She argues there are alternatives for cutting taxes as a first option which can help put Maine back in balance.
