Like people throughout Maine, the partners of Maine Can Do Better believe in working together for the common good. We know that Maine's prosperity depends on the strength of our public structure -- our laws, our schools and universities, our public health and safety agencies, our roads and bridges, and our natural resources. Maine's core is the machinery that propels our economy, and must be responsibly managed and maintained to ensure the health and vitality of Maine communities, Maine families, and Maine people, now and into the future.

Current Issues:

• A Ballot Question to Reduce the Excise Tax: While communities around the state are postponing and cancelling road work because of a lack of funding, some propose we reduce funding to our roads event more by cutting the state's excise tax. Municipalities are already fearful of the affects it could have on their communities and their already strapped budgets. Do you want to be filling your own potholes? Learn more!
