129 TH STATE LEGISLATURE 2 STATE HOUSE STATION AUGUSTA, ME 04333-0002

DONALD G. MAREAN STATE REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE: (207) 287-1315

February 4, 2019

Dear Friends,

Thank you for returning me to the State Legislature for another term to represent the great people of Buxton, Hollis and Saco. You can be assured that the decisions I am making come from your concerns and input. This past session, the legislature passed a record $162 million investment in public schools which approves additional funding and increases the state’s percentage. This will allow our superintendents to have less hard decisions to make when putting together their budget. We also approved a tax conformity bill that cuts state taxes by $22.2 million, expands the property tax credit, and includes a credit for employer-paid family and medical leave. This legislation invests in working families and drives business growth. This session, I have been assigned to the Taxation Committee where I will review all matters related to tax exemptions, property taxes and other current use tax issues. It will be imperative to give all matters considerate inspection when they will be affecting family budgets. There are many big topics that will come across my desk that I depend on the input from my constituents on how I decide to vote. Please contact me for any problems that I can help with, questions that I may an answer, or suggestions that you think I should take to the State House. I am looking forward to representing Buxton this coming session.

Warmest regards,

Don Marean State Representative

92 Proudly serving the residents of House District 16: Buxton (part), Hollis & Saco (part)
