“The Donald” was born into wealth, lied and cheated his way through life, finished 3 million popular votes behind his opponent but still became president of this great republic. Obviously out of his element, he has made many horrible decisions and now he is messing with the Census and the U.S. Postal Service. After Joe […]

Serge Abergel, an employee of Hydro-Quebec, recently contributed to your paper. While this is a free country, and he can say as he pleases, he is not from this country. Rather, he’s a representative of a utility owned by the Canadian government, a utility that is spending record amounts on a propaganda campaign to force […]

What a really good use of money for virus relief — a masked moose in Bethel to help educate proper virus safety. As if everyone doesn’t already know safety procedures. If the rest of those relief millions are destined to be spent in such other useful schemes, here is a suggestion of how to use […]

In light of the recent Maine Supreme Court decision regarding the unconstitutionality of the referendum on the NECEC, I have a few comments about this entire process. The Maine Public Utilities Commission is comprised of three people in appointed positions and none of whom have any educational or practical work experience in the natural resource […]

Sometime soon I will drop by the office and obtain my ballot in its own envelope. At my leisure I […]

I have known Bettyann Sheats for about 6 years, we attend the same church and I know first-hand what a hard worker she is. She is an Army veteran, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and a former helicopter pilot. Bettyann will use the same drive and dedication that she used […]

I would like to endorse Dave Duguay for commissioner in Oxford County. I have known Dave for 40 years and I can tell everyone that he is a tireless worker. Dave retired as a store manager. In every store, his community service skills were clearly displayed. If he could benefit any need or group, Dave […]

In working with Kristen Cloutier at our mutual workplace and as she represented my district on the Lewiston City Council, I observed her listening attentively, initiating thoughtful solutions to significant problems, and fairly advocating proposals to build a sustainable future for all community members. As a Lewiston city councilor, Kristen supported numerous redevelopment projects with […]
