April 18, 2008 Augusta, Maine - With the 123rd Maine Legislature coming to the close of its 2nd regular session, Representative Hill can take stock of some important legislative successes that she sponsored during her first term.

"I am very pleased that these three bills and resloution were passed into law with bi-partisan support, and that the bills signed into law created no fiscal impact to Maine taxpayers," noted Hill. Hill was the primary sponsor of 16 legislative items, including sentiments, a resolution and proposed legislation. She co-sponsored over 160 legislative items in total.

A New Maine Economy
It is time for Maine to re-invent itself, re-energize its ingenuity and live up to its natural and economic potential. Admittedly, we have one of the most revered destination locations any where in the continental US, perhaps the world. Our clean air, invigorating coast lines and lakes, pristine forests and scenic roads conjure up visions of what it is to experience a Maine vacation. But, our tourism industry can not take on the whole of Maine's economic vitality or tax revenue. Neither can personal income tax, property taxes or corporate taxes on Maine businesses. Read More
Looking Ahead
The Maine experience is unforgettable - so too are its people. Perhaps it's a memory of going to one of Maine's sandy beaches or rocky coastline; or, fishing from a canoe in the lake; a walk on one of Maine's forested trails; or perhaps a skiing vacation in mountains. Maybe a special diner or favorite Maine restaurant inspired a return trip to that favorite place. And all along the way, Mainers make it as enjoyable as recollecting that special memory. Read More
