Maine Legislature approves budget addendum that includes 12-week paid family leave program
Fox News
A budget addendum that includes a program allowing workers up to 12 weeks of paid family leave has been approved by the Maine Legislature. It also includes a tax cut for retirees.
"It’s not a perfect budget, but it’s a good budget. And it’s a bipartisan budget," said Sen. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston, a co-chair of the Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee.
The House vote fell short of a two-thirds majority needed for it to take effective immediately, so the new spending provisions would go into effect in 90 days.
