Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo said he's waiting to learn more about a regional vehicle emission reduction pact before deciding how it will fit into his plan for transportation.
This winter, about 305,000 property owners in Maine will be receiving checks for $104.
These property owners in the state qualified for the Homestead Exemption. Under this program, people who have lived in a home as their primary residence for more than one year as of April 1 would have the first $25,000 of their assessed home value be declared tax-exempt, making them eligible for a refund from the state government, according to WMTW-TV Channel 8 in Portland, Maine.
