Regional Information Meetings on MMA's Tax Reform Initiative
sidebar to It's Time...for Tax Reform
(from Maine Townsman, August/September 2002)
By Geoff Herman, Director of State & Federal Relations, MMA

Maine Municipal Association is conducting a series of informational meetings in September and early October on the Tax Reform Initiative. We strongly encourage municipal officials to take this opportunity to learn about the proposal, the rationale behind it, and what comes next.  No registration or sign-up is required; however, if a meeting is held in conjunction with a county or regional municipal meeting, please respond as specified in their mailing.  Most meetings are scheduled for less than two hours. Light refreshments will be served.  All information will be posted on MMA’s website at www.memun.org.  MMA will also be sending out targeted mailings providing directions and specifics regarding meetings in your area.  If you have any questions about the meetings or need directions, please call Theresa Chavarie at MMA, 1-800-452-8786.
