Both sides continue the debate over tax reform

BRUNSWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- In June, Maine voters will decide whether or not to repeal a tax overhaul bill passed by the legislature last spring.  But just in case voters still have questions on it, Democrats are holding forums throughout the state to offer up more information. 

Senators Stan Gerzofsky and Joe Perry were at Bowdoin College Saturday. They say there are a lot of rumors circulating about new legislation that reduces the state's top income tax rate from 8.5 to 6.5%. It also imposes a sales tax on some services for the first time - including labor for auto repairs.

Disputers say there are still too many Mainers who won't be helped by the income tax reduction, yet all will be affected by the sales tax changes.
