Group to track school, town spending
Kennebec Journal (update), August 1, 2007
(excerpt) The Maine Public Spending Research Group announced today that it will begin tracking town and school spending across the state.
The nonpartisan think tank based in Portland hired a firm to collect data, such as town and school budgets, tax rates and total taxes collected.
Each fall, the group will release a report to the public. Two-thirds of all tax dollars are spent at the local level, according to the group. The Maine State Chamber of Commerce is the lead sponsor of the project.
