A THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF TEFRA

Donald Grey Lowry, Esquire
The author is a member of the law firm of
Lowry & Plate in Portland and a member of the

American, Maine State and Cumberland County
Bar Associations. Mr. Lowy is a member of the

The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibili-
ty Act of 19821 contains a wide range of
changes in the federal income tax which
will affect all business and individual tax-
payers to some degree. Although the gener-
al practice lawyer will not find it necessary
to master all of the complexities of this new
law, a familiarity with its most significant
provisions will at least avoid embarass-

indepth exposition of the Act, but only a
rather light touch on the highlights.
The first thing you need to know about
the Act is that its nickname is TEFRA,
just as the 1981 Act is known as ERTA,

the te iLocation and Solid Waste Laws for
a 300-foot variance renewal request and in-
dustrial waste and demolition debris site
application in the Town of Pittston by E.C.
Barry and Son. The four lawyers in the
room were the recipients of the surprise ap-
plause. As I was one of those lawyers, the
applause was only one of a long series of
surprises in this case.
I represented the Town of Pittston as an
intervenor party before the DEP objecting
