Gov. Janet Mills on Friday signed into law a two-year, nearly $10 billion budget jammed through by fellow Democrats that will keep government services rolling \u2014 and possibly avert a shutdown<\/a> \u2014 in the new fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Mills said she was unwilling to take a chance of Republicans using the threat of a shutdown as a bargaining tactic.<\/p>\n

“I would have preferred to sign a budget that has bipartisan support, but the possibility of a government shutdown \u2013 which would be extremely harmful to Maine people<\/a> \u2013 is something I cannot accept,” she said in a statement.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS IN MAINE’S LEGISLATURE PASS A NEARLY $10 BILLION, TWO-YEAR STATE BUDGET<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Lawmakers adjourned late Thursday so the budget can go into effect on July 1, the start of the fiscal year. Mills signed a proclamation Friday calling them back to work in a special session starting Wednesday.<\/p>\n

She insisted that the current budget that contains no new programs is not the final word. There will be a supplemental budget in which new programs and spending priorities will be discussed.<\/p>\n

“I recognize that tensions are high, but there is still a lot of work left to do, with room \u2014 I believe \u2014 for compromise. I urge Democrats and Republicans to reset and to begin anew the work of negotiating their priorities during the next round of budget discussions,” she said.<\/p>\n

MAINE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE LEADERS PREPARE TO PUSH THROUGH $9.8 BILLION, TWO-YEAR STATE BUDGET<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Democrats, who hold majorities in both legislative chambers<\/a>, pushed through a no-frills budget on party-line votes over forceful GOP objections on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The timing allowed the budget to go into effect 90 days later on July 1 with simple majority votes. Lawmakers would’ve had to approve the budget with a two-thirds majority, a steeper hurdle, if they’d waited.<\/p>\n

It was the second time in Mills’ tenure that Democrats have used the maneuver of adopting a majority vote, adjourning the Legislature, and then resuming a special session.<\/p>\n

Republicans were incensed and criticized Democrats. Several of them said they were negotiating in good faith to reduce income taxes on lower- and middle-income Mainers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
