Maine to give $300 checks to 725K low- and middle-income residents, fund affordable housing and education.
Maine Governor Janet Mills, in her final State of the State address, announced a $300 affordability check for about 725,000 residents, funded by the state’s $1 billion Budget Stabilization Fund, targeting low- and middle-income earners.
She also proposed $70 million for affordable housing, including 825 new units, and made Maine’s free community college program permanent.
Mills criticized federal immigration enforcement actions, calling them fear-based and discriminatory, and pledged to protect residents.
Additional funding was proposed for reproductive health care providers and K-12 education.
The measures are part of a broader effort to combat rising living costs and resist federal overreach.
