In her final State of the State Address, Governor Mills will thank the people of Maine for the honor and privilege of serving as Governor. She will outline progress the state has made over the past several years, address challenges that Maine people continue to face, including high costs, and discuss how her Administration is working to hold down costs for people by maintaining the State's commitment to provide 55 percent of the cost of education and provide full revenue sharing to municipalities, among other items.

"I am proud of the progress we have made together, but, as we all know, there are still many challenges ahead. Maine people are struggling to get by, and by working together, we can take action to help them and make life more affordable for folks across our state," Governor Mills wrote in her letter. "I look forward to addressing the Joint Convention of the Legislature and to working with lawmakers during the upcoming session."

The Governor's Office will release additional logistical information about the State of the State Address in the days prior to January 27th.
