The Facts

Q. What is a People’s Veto?

A. The People’s Veto Veto process is our right to challenge an act of the Maine Legislature by putting on the ballot. The Fed Up With Taxes Coalition collected more than 95,000 signatures from Maine citizens who oppose new taxes on beverages and health care. This allows the issue to be put on the November 4, giving all of us a chance to “Vote Yes On Question 1” to undo this tax increase that the legislature tried to sneak by us.
