Well, Maine has arguably the highest tax burden *in the country*. The Dims have been excusing that by saying that it is mostly out-of-staters that are bearing the brunt of that - with sales tax, meals tax and high property taxes on waterfront vacation homes.

Well, that argument doesn't sound too good now!

That's a bunch of bull.  Tourist aren't here year round.  Those of us that live here year round are paying our taxes!  What the tourist pay we pay all year around.

Now the Dems in Maine want to raise the taxes between May and October to further grab hold of the tourist dollar.

Talk about a bunch of gluttons.  And they wonder why revenue is down.

They want to raise the taxes between May and October hoping that will make up for the loss of revenue!
