Letter: Maine should tax non-resident property owners

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 18, 2022

We have many generous nonresident landowners who have allowed access to their property. However, there are many others who enjoy the “way life should be” without contributing to it. If the state were to collect just 0.1 percent, I would wager that would provide enough money to fix up the roads and bridges that we all rely on, along with providing some tax relief to the rest of us. After all, it’s only fair to expect that the nonresident landowners pay their fair share. ~ Tom Patterson, Gorham
