In November, voters will decide which of the two presidential nominees will represent America. Some politicians on both sides seem uncertain. Millions of dollars in advertising will be spent in order to keep their party in control. I firmly believe that the undecided voters will decide the winner. Unlike small towns where voters have a […]

Sometimes, pipedreams can lead to big things. Imagine a world where we can all agree, that each and every one of us gives back to making the human condition a thing to prioritize in life itself. This tiny planet is crying out for water, food, shelter and whatever else is left to fight over until […]

I’m writing today to draw attention to a small but very significant election taking place in Auburn on Tuesday, July 9. That day, a new Auburn School Committee member will be elected. I’ve known Tony La Judice for many years and have served with him on projects and programs benefiting both Lewiston and Auburn. He’s […]

I’m honestly puzzled by people saying that Trump won the debate. Is it really better to lie with vigor than to tell the truth with a raspy voice? How is lying with vigor a good thing? The cascade of lies Trump delivered at the debate, and which he repeats at all his rallies — America […]

Auburn School Committee candidate Tony La Judice is a man of integrity and common sense. His 20 years in the Air Force, his time as a small business owner and his roles as father and grandfather give Tony a lifetime of experience that will be a great asset to the Auburn School Committee. Tony will […]

I am writing to support Rep. Kristen Cloutier’s reelection to the Maine House of Representatives. She has worked tirelessly in her past terms for such issues as providing a grant program to family caregivers, supporting increasing the health care workforce, and expanding affordable housing. She has a very good attendance record, where she has worked […]

I am pleased that Dan Campbell is running to represent Auburn and Minot in House District 90. Dan is the better choice to represent both communities. Dan’s compassion for helping people, especially the homeless and vulnerable, is demonstrated every day. For example, he helped a man trapped by others exploiting him. Dan came to the […]

Those who visited their local polling place to vote in the recent primary may have seen activists seeking signatures for a petition issue that has been defeated several times in the Legislature.
