Senator Collins criticizes Maine for not adopting federal tax changes that would help workers and seniors.
U.S.
Senator Susan Collins criticized Maine Governor Janet Mills for not adopting recent federal tax changes that would benefit workers and seniors, calling the state’s inaction “appalling.” She highlighted three federal provisions—allowing up to $25,000 in tips to be deducted, reducing taxes on overtime pay, and eliminating the double tax on Social Security benefits—that Maine has not mirrored, leaving workers and retirees subject to state taxes on income exempt at the federal level.
Collins argued the failure harms Maine’s small businesses, which make up 90% of the state’s employers, and stressed the need for vocational training in fields like welding and nursing to support economic opportunity amid ongoing affordability and workforce challenges.
