This report summarizes the major state funding disbursed to municipalities and counties. These disbursements represent a substantial portion of the State’s budget and significantly affect local government budgets as well. The State’s support of municipal and county functions through these disbursements has a major impact on the amount of local property taxes assessed on Maine taxpayers to support municipal and county government.

This report describes the purpose, preparation, impacts, and form and distribution of Fiscal Notes.

This document describes the formulation of the biennial budget request, legislative consideration, and budget monitoring and adjustments. 

From 1-13-15 AFA meeting.
