Matt Gagnon and Speaker Ryan Fecteau discussed the recent legislative session in Maine, focusing on the adjournment, veto process, and specific bills. Fecteau explained that bills cannot be acted upon by the governor until the next session, which will include three legislative days. They highlighted the ranked choice voting bill, which was pulled back for potential Supreme Court review. The session ended with significant budget debates, including funding sources like the $50 tobacco tax and the real estate transfer tax. Fecteau defended the budget increases, citing investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and education, despite concerns about rising costs and comparisons to New Hampshire’s funding methods.
