5/14/12-BREAKING NEWS: Maine Supplement Budget

NOW: Contact your legislators to urge them to vote NO on the majority budget on Tuesday, May 15th, 2012. Tell them that this budget is devastating and irresponsible. It will harm vulnerable populations in Maine, including those with disabilities, seniors, working families and children.
