MERI grades Maine's 125th Legislature
The Maine Economic Research Institute has released its annual ratings of Maine legislators, giving positive marks to the state's 125th Legislature for what it called "proactive and pro-economic changes."
In an introductory letter to the report, which ranks Maine legislators based on votes for 20 laws the organization saw as important for business, Chairman Peter Vigue wrote that historically unprecedented tax cuts approved last year "were fair, sensible and encouraging to job growth."
The rankings and final averages – on a 100-point scale – are based on a combination of recorded votes on selected bills as well as a qualitative survey of government affairs professionals that represent the business community in the state, according to the report.
