On March 6, the Maine Joint Taxation Committee will hold a work session on LD 1826, a bill to abolish Maine’s state income tax check-off that lets taxpayers choose to send a small donation to a political party. The Maine Green Party gets approximately half its funding from the state income tax check-off system.

A similar bill in Utah, HB 50, passed the House in January but has not made any headway since then. The Utah legislature adjourns for the year at the end of this week.
