Reply to Are Maine taxes as bad as people say? by SameProfession254

Safety & quality of life costs money. Maine is one of the safest states in the country and our states Medicaid is partly responsible. Mainecare is one of the most comprehensive medicaids in the country. Safety nets provide safety to society not simply the recipients. I recently sold land in Colebrook NH - 2 years ago i visited there for final time - the min wage was 7.50 an hour (has since risen) sidewalks & roads unplowed in winter 1/2 hour from Canada.They now have a stand your ground gun law. NH is considered the Arkansas of the north. Check out the crime rates of southern lower tax rate states vs Maine. Its not rocket science. And Maine gives plenty of tax breaks to huge corps - that should be addressed 1st to lower the overall tax burden instead of reducing services.

I just posted 2 articles under your question - the industry is booming and every municipality has a number that are allowed ' i.e. Rockland has 8 dispensaries- Portland has 40 - id look into b4 giving up - there are enough maine breweries in this state to put a brewery on main street of every single town - they did an article on it - no one says that is saturated (or maybe they do but ive not heard) id do a deep dive b4 you give up - appearances can be decieving
