Sun Journal quotes Howard in article on carbon tax
The Lewiston Sun Journal quoted Michael Howard, a professor of philosophy at the University of Maine, in an article on a resolution in the House of Representatives to condemn the proposal of a carbon tax to combat climate change. Maine’s House Reps. Bruce Poliquin and Chellie Pingree split votes on the resolution. Poliquin was the only representative in New England to support the resolution, according to the Sun Journal. Howard said any increased cost to families caused by a carbon tax could be offset by a dividend plan to return revenue to taxpayers. The Portland Press Herald also published the article.
