The challenges facing our communities need a response big enough to meet the moment. Whether it’s a housing crisis, direct care workforce shortages, or crumbling roads and bridges, the best way to make a difference is to confront them as a state. But for decades wealthy individuals and corporations have stacked the deck to avoid paying taxes, forcing the rest of us to pick up the slack while leaving important cornerstones of our society, like schools and public safety, underfunded.

Mainers For Tax Fairness is a coalition advocating for cleaning up our tax code and ensuring those at the top are paying their fair share. It’s time to close tax loopholes benefiting the wealthiest and invest in a robust economy that serves ALL Mainers.
