Ha! I have witnessed the shopping bags carried by over 20,000 passengers. Only 1 in 5 on average buy an inexpensive souvenir costing 50.00 or less. Appll and the Chamber claim 10’s of millions pour in yearly. That is totally dishonest. The net profit from 1 in 5 carrying a 50 dollar souvenir is only at most 250,000 per year. And not much more than 470,000 in net profit to the whole state of Maine.

Extraordinary investigative reporting. Essential reading. ThankYou.

Worth the slog to see how APPL operates.

Short version: specious rhetoric and scare tactics, hyperbole and distortions.

But very important to read to see through APPLs rhetoric and tactics. And to get a sense of the law.
