Ben Chin can blame fake news for his loss in the run-off election. However, it was the second time he lost an election and the reason is simple — his ideas are too grand and expensive for Lewiston.

Yes, in a perfect world it would be all things for all people, but there is a limit. Lewiston has many seniors who are struggling on fixed incomes. There is not a limitless amount of money. It is a lesson that others, including Rep. Jim Handy, need to learn.
