Governor Janet Mills unveiled a new spending plan on Friday that she says will not raise taxes.

The governor’s office says the plan will balance the budget, despite a projected $650 million revenue shortfall over the next three years caused by the pandemic.

The proposal includes a supplemental budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2021 and a biennial budget proposal through Fiscal Year 2023.

The plan will rely on the use of more than $7.6 billion in federal pandemic relief money as well as cost-cutting across departments.

It would not introduce any tax increases or dip into the state’s rainy day fund. Kirsten Figueroa, Commissioner for the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, says the combined budgets would add $61 million to the fund across the three fiscal years.

The biennial budget would include $3 million for the Maine CDC, $5 million for COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and support services for individuals required to isolate.

It also includes $7.5 million for mental health and substance use disorder services, and $45 million for public education to help educators tackle the challenges of remote learning.

“At a time when Maine people are hurting, when small businesses are struggling to keep their doors open, when the ranks of the unemployed have swelled, and when we are fighting a deadly virus all around us, we are proposing a balanced budget that tightens our belt, that protects support for children’s education, that saves, and that reinforces public health, child welfare, and public safety measures of great concern to Maine families,” said Governor Janet Mills. “We are focused on keeping Maine people healthy, saving lives, educating our kids, and getting people back to work.”
