| Maine is a Sunshine State with enough assets to cover its debt. |

| Maine has $259.1 million available after bills have been paid, which breaks down to $500 per taxpayer. |
| Maine's reported net position is understated by $494.8 million, largely because the state delays recognizing gains resulting from decreases in retirement liabilities. |
