Rep. Kathy Chase takes lead role on Taxation Committee
AUGUSTA — State Rep. Kathy Chase, R-Wells, has been named the Republican lead on the Joint Standing Committee on Taxation for the 124th state Legislature, which puts her in a position to help shape tax policy.
"I am pleased to be returning to Taxation," said Chase in a news release. "As we work to restore prosperity to our state, it is vital that we not impede our recovery with higher taxes. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ease the tax burden on all Mainers."
The Maine Legislature has 17 joint standing committees, each composed of 13 members — three senators and 10 members of the House. Every committee has jurisdiction over clearly defined parts of state government.
The Committee on Taxation has jurisdiction over the Bureau of Revenue Services, the Maine Residents Property Tax Program, and a broad range of related issues. The committee also has jurisdiction over tax exemptions and credits, property valuation and assessment, tax increment financing, municipal revenue sharing, and unorganized territories and tree growth tax issues.
Rep. Chase is a second-term legislator representing House District 147, which includes part of Wells.
