MHPC CEO J. Scott Moody speaks at a press conference at the State House about his study, “Where Have Maine’s ‘Rich’ Gone?”, which shows that Maine has fewer high-income taxpayers earning more than $200,000 or earning more than $1 million when compared to the national average or neighboring New Hampshire (which has no individual income tax).
Carol Weston, state director for Americans for Prosperity—Maine, then speaks about who Maine’s “rich” really are: hard-working families who own small businesses.
