More than 857,000 Maine households are in line to receive $850 relief checks under the state's new supplemental budget, signed into law by Gov. Janet Mills last week.

The state says its coffers are full, and is now returning some of the surplus to select taxpayers.

There's even an online tool to help Mainers determine if they'll be receiving a check.

    How about the rest of us who paid their fair share of taxes as well?

    I do think it is funny that the Gov. is getting/taking credit for this idea when it was first introduced by a Republican member of the legislature. I don't care how I spend it as long as I get to spend it and the state doesn't. They waste enough money.

    Just one more thing the government is doing to keep people at home instead of coming back to work.
