Augusta, Maine — Maine Democratic Party Chair Phil Bartlett released the following statement after Congressman Bruce Poliquin and Senator Susan Collins voted to pass a tax bill that takes billions from hardworking families to give to the wealthiest 1% and large corporations:
"We are deeply disappointed in Senator Collins and Congressman Poliquin for helping to ram through an unfair, partisan bill that will do little to help Maine’s hardworking middle-class but a lot to help the wealthy.
"Mainers don’t deserve the higher taxes, higher health costs, and higher deficit they’re going to get from this bill, and we’re sorry that Senator Collins and Congressman Poliquin don’t agree."
