Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson:
“Bobby Charles’ $4 billion budget fantasy doesn’t add up, and Mainers deserve to know what he’s actually planning to cut. Which MaineCare services would he eliminate? Which schools would lose funding? Which roads and infrastructure projects would he abandon? Charles owes Mainers a real plan, not some fantasy math.”
