TABOR would change state government

TABOR would change state government

It would have significant, long-term implications for the tax burden and level of services in Maine.
By TOM BELL, Staff Writer October 21, 2009

For the third time in five years, Maine voters will decide on Nov. 3 whether to impose government tax and spending limits.

In 2004, voters rejected a proposal to cap property taxes. Two years later, they rejected a spending cap. This year, a modified version of the spending cap is Question 4 on the state ballot.

Proponents say this version deserves voters' support because it was designed for the state's deteriorating financial situation but would still limit the ability of governments to increase spending and taxes.

I would like to suggest a way that you might cut cost for health care , 1st allow people to purchase that health insurance accross state lines, 2nd taught reform and the insurance companies could hire more inspectors to stop fraud, two things happen when you do this, you cut cost and put people back to work. Also lets use a little common sense, lets take our time and do it right. Just a thought
