I am particularly struck this year by the negative campaign being waged against Jared Golden, Democratic contender for the Second Congressional District.

Better education funding formula needed
This is in response to Maine Senate President Michael Thibodeau’s guest column (Sept. 30), “Education funding highlight of 128th Legislature.” That guest column stated that “the Legislature met its obligation to provide 55 percent of funding for the state’s public schools.” That is a very misleading statement.
