Mainers sent thousands of e-mails to their elected officials opposing this unfair tax hike. The Maine Legislature listened and passed LD 1479, with strong bipartisan support, which would safeguard against any immediate phone tax increases. Last week, unfortunately, the Governor vetoed the bill.
New wireless technology is being developed at an incredible rate, and it’s improving how people of all ages are communicating.
If LD 1479 does not pass, Maine residents could face massive USF fee increases THIS YEAR, every year, for every phone. The Maine Legislature has passed the bill, now it’s time for the Governor to sign the bill.
That time of year is upon us – Tax Day, when late filers are reminded to beat the IRS deadline, and we all recognize how much we are taxed each year. Filings can be confusing and one might argue with the final total owed to the government, but there are some hard numbers that indicate consumers widely agree on some key tax issues. When it comes to wireless taxes, consumers are becoming more aware of how much they are spending and what that means to them.
The Maine House of Representatives passed LD 1479 that will safeguard against any immediate wireless tax increases. But the Senate still needs to pass the bill, and that’s why we need your help to tell your Senator to support LD 1479 as passed by the House.
