I agree with Trudy Jacqmin’s letter (Sept. 12) that John Cleveland should “refund the quarter of a million dollars he has over-billed Poland since 2006.” I am ashamed of his use of political connections to line his own pocket. It is definitely time for a change.

It is time to get rid of all those career politicians and elect a new, energetic, young person with new, young ideas to Augusta.

The voters of Auburn, Minot, New Gloucester and Poland have a real choice this year — continue the old politics of the past, or look to a future generation of leadership.

I will be voting for Eric Brakey in November, because Maine residents need real hope and change in Augusta, not the same old politically connected, party line, big government ideologues.
