Shenna Bellows on Free Trade

 

 


Tariffs on Canada will increase cost of Maine license plates

Maine's new pine tree license plates could have an added expense, as tariffs on Canadian imports took effect. "If there are tariffs on the license plates, that's going to increase the cost to taxpayers," said Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. "Similarly, if there are tariffs on aluminum, that is going to increase the cost to taxpayers because every single one of these plates is aluminum."

NAFTA damaged our manufacturing sector; so will TPP

Fair Trade, Not Corporate Giveaways: Too many jobs have been shipped overseas in the last two decades. We have witnessed firsthand the damage wrought to our manufacturing sector by bad trade deals like NAFTA. That's why I oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership and fast-track authority for trade agreements. We are increasingly interconnected in a global economy. International trade is important to Maine's economy, but international trade agreements must be fair trade agreements--protecting workers' rights at home and abroad, protecting the environment for future generations and protecting consumer safety.

Some politicians like to think of the economy as just another issue. For me, the economy is every issue. Better economic policies in Washington can make the difference when you pay your bills, start a family, & get the job you want. Investing in Maine's economy can make those things possible for every Mainer, and that's what I'm going to do from the first day I'm in Washington.
