Want your voice to be heard in Augusta?

The Maine Heritage Policy Center is currently preparing a report on harmful and unnecessary regulations that stand in the way of business growth in Maine – everything from absurd eviction rules to redundant licensing requirements to over-complicated employment regulations.

But we want your help.

Do you own a business?  Have you had to deal with overburdensome regulations that have cost you time and money?  Have you had to hold off growing your business, hiring new employees, or expanding your capabilities because regulations have stood in your way?

We would appreciate your input.  If you know of a specific state level government regulation on business that is superfluous, duplicative or silly, please click here to let us know.

Thank you.
