Maine

OK, just one more that I had lying around.

Maine’s Governor wants to cut state workers’ salaries by shifting 3% of their compensation from pay checks to pension payments. He calls it an increase in the employees contribution to the pension, but really it’s just so the state can save money by cutting workers’ pay. He wants to give that money to corporations as a $203 million tax break.

So again, we have a governor who wants to cut corporate taxes and have middle class state employees pay for it.

There is one state employee, however, who is exempt – the Governor.
