Gov. Janet Mills has proposed a two-year state budget of $8.4 billion, a plan that does not change taxes and represents less than a 1% increase in spending.

Two of the most significant new outlays are for school district aid and to fund rate increases for MaineCare, the state's Medicaid health benefit program. There's also $8 million to support COVID-19 lab and vaccination services through the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
