(The Center Square) — Maine’s Democratic-controlled Legislature has pushed through a two-year, $11.3 billion budget on Thursday that plugs revenue gaps and a shortfall in the state’s Medicaid program, despite Republican objections to the spending plan.
The Maine House of Representatives approved the spending plan by a 74-67 vote along party lines. The Senate passed it 18-17, with two Democrats joining Republicans in opposition. The proposal is now awaiting Democratic Gov. Janet Mills’s signature.
