State Sen. Bartlett, who was recently elected as majority leader in the Senate, defined the Legislature's priorities for the upcoming session:
- Cut spending in order to counter a $150 million shortfall for the current fiscal year.
- Decrease Maine's dependance on foreign oil by expanding the use of alternative energy.
- Institute tax reform that shifts the tax burden from residents to visitors (e.g., lodging and meals taxes).
