AUGUSTA, Maine In her State of the Budget Address Tuesday night, Governor Janet Mills focused on health care, education, and the Maine economy, saying that her budget proposals maintain stability in these areas during a time of uncertainty and put Maine on a path to economic recovery.
The Governor spoke on the importance of her Administration’s focus on health care, education, and the economy, highlighting proposed investments in Maine’s public health infrastructure and education funding to support Maine children. She rejected calls for sweeping budget cuts or efforts to reach into the State’s savings.
State of Maine COVID-19 Response
My Administration has sought to do its part to protect the lives and livelihoods of Maine people. With help from the Maine Legislature last spring, we began rallying the forces necessary to help people who were suffering job losses, to get food to school children and to build out our team of health professionals to protect Maine families from this dangerous virus.
My Administration implemented public health and safety measures, dialing them up and then scaling them down when we believed the circumstances demanded it. We directed people to wear masks in public, much the same as they would wear a hard hat at a construction site or safety glasses and ear protectors in a paper mill. We asked you to watch your distance and avoid large gatherings. And you did.
