Sen. David Miramant: LD 1411 Is Giving Working Mainers a Fair Shot by State Senator Dave Miramant Tuesday, June 1, 2021 1:37 PM Maine State Senator David Miramant David Miramant represents Maine Senate District 12, which includes most of Knox County. No matter the circumstances, one thing will always be true: Maine depends on small businesses, and small businesses depend on Maine. With close to 99% of Maine businesses categorized as small, small businesses are central to our economy and our success. We should do everything we can to ensure their survival. Yet, we’ve seen more and more manufacturing jobs go overseas, and more and more contracts go out of state. For those reasons, I want to talk with you about LD 1411. This bill, “An Act To Establish the Maine Buy American and Build Maine Act,” puts emphasis on Maine businesses and gives preference to the hardworking people here in Maine.
