I’m responding to Glenn Chateauvert (“In Biden vs. Trump, these numbers matter,” April 25). It is true gas prices are much higher than they were four years ago, not to mention groceries, etc. It is not true that all Democrats hate America. No one has promoted hate and division more than one D.J. Trump. My […]

I visited Lewiston High School on May 3 with the rest of the Lewiston legislative delegation. We got permission to visit the school during a school assembly. The reason for our visit was to acknowledge and present legislative sentiments for the outstanding achievements students and teachers accomplished this year. There was boys hockey, which won […]

I have known Dan Campbell for many years, as a teacher and counselor, a coach and a friend. He is one of the most caring and empathetic people I know. But equally important, he is smart, forthright, energetic and highly engaged in our community and its needs. As a legislator, he would work to promote […]

As we mark both Teachers and Nurses Appreciation weeks, Oxford County Democrats wants to celebrate people in those professions. Educational systems have had challenging times, and the teachers have gone above and beyond. The care, high standards and quality of instruction is what we celebrate and appreciate. We also appreciate their hand-in-hand work with parents […]

Donald Trump’s legal battles before and after his presidency are now in the hands of the judicial system. Lawmakers receiving handouts from billionaires enhancing their portfolios should not be allowed. I am not in favor of either Joe Biden or Trump running for the presidency. In my opinion, Sen.

I was pleased to see Dan Campbell’s recent announcement that he is a candidate for state representative in House District 90 (part of Auburn and Minot). I have known Coach Campbell for 25 years, ever since he coached both my sons on the track and field teams at Edward Little High School. As a coach […]

Kudos to Auburn Planning Board member Riley Bergeron and the current Auburn City Council for listening to the hundreds of citizens who both put up signs and signed petitions that protested against the proposed housing development between Gracelawn Road and Lake Auburn. It now seems that the developer of the project has come to the […]

Lewiston Public Library is dealing with years of understaffing and budget inadequacy. Even when all positions are filled, the idea that they are “fully staffed” is an illusion. Part-time employees, who are kept under a specific amount of hours so that they can be paid lower than union rates, are holding the staffing schedule together. […]

The Lewiston Public Library is a vital resource to our community, but in order to cultivate and grow its mission and its impact, the city must keep the needs of library staff and patrons at the forefront of its decisions. The people of Lewiston and the dedicated library staff who serve them deserve to feel […]

Medical bills from Maine hospitals are confusing, opaque, and sometimes carry arbitrary and hidden costs — including a common surcharge that hospitals call a “facility fee,” charging hundreds of dollars simply for getting treatment in a hospital. A 2022 Portland Press Herald in-depth journalistic investigation exposed a byzantine system of medical billing oftentimes inuring insurance […]
