Bangor Daily News: AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine’s legislative session this year may be best remembered for passage of a same-sex marriage law, but legislators also took major steps to overhaul the state’s tax code and help secure energy independence. Lawmakers during the six-month session also took action that will affect residents who drive two- and four-wheeled vehicles, who hunt, fish, own snowmobiles and boats, buy homes, and who smoke. Most of the new laws take effect in mid-September. While gay marriage drew national attention, the law faces a challenge that could lead to a statewide referendum in November. And while no new broad-based taxes were enacted to balance an austere state budget, a tax overhaul package will broaden the sales tax to new goods and services and reduce the income tax from 8.5 per-cent to 6.5 percent.

Good web site. Nice posting comments system. Apologies for the off-topic posting, yet I had been extremely fascinated with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australia OPen this yr. The man is probably unequalled. He showed he was as robust as stainlesss steel. Just think about he he can beat Nadal who has been so stimulated to gain and was really so pumped up during the fifth set. I’m starting to consider that Djokovic is performing some religious work to bring some aids on his side that help him secure this kind of matches against the best players in the globe
