The Maine Economic Research Institute  was created by Maine business leaders for Maine business. Our Mission is to “Improve Maine’s business environment (healthy economy. strong businesses, quality jobs) by providing objective information to enhance economic policy making.” Our methodology  has been tested over the past twenty years and is being used effectively in 22 other states. The concept is straightforward… NON-PARTISAN tracking and reporting of legislator voting records on important issues to Maine’s business community. In a word, Accountability.
