AUGUSTA, Maine (WABI) - "Public hearings on two bills that would raise taxes for high-income households were held in Augusta today. One bill would add a four percent surcharge on Mainers who have a yearly income of one million dollars or more.

"This money would be used to guarantee the 55 percent of the state’s share of education funding which currently is built into the biennial budget, but there are questions surrounding potential cuts.

"According to supporters, all Maine people currently making more than 61-thousand dollars share the same taxes.

"No Republicans were listed as sponsors of the bill. They’re concerned about increasing taxes on those who make more money."

@DoomsdaysCW Definitely need this for my state, as the top income tax rate stops at $17,001!

[Edit: 17500 should be 17001]
