This is a special two-hour Maine Calling: Part 1 will feature political leaders discussing what is included in Trump's bill and the process that led to it being signed into law; Part 2 will focus on the economic impacts on Maine residents.
What do the extensive tax and spending cuts in President Trump’s domestic policy bill mean for Maine—especially with our mostly rural population? We discuss the impacts on Maine residents and economy, and how the cuts will affect health care, agriculture, the environment, and other sectors.
