As both an employee of Bath Iron Works and a Union local S-6 member, I want to respond to some comments made by Amy Volk in her column, published July 30. For starters, this strike is not about money. If she would take the time to walk the line and talk with us she would […]

We have known Bettyann Sheats for many years: as a neighbor, a friend, a fellow parishioner and, more recently, as a legislator. We have watched her grow into leadership as a warden at St. Michael’s church and have witnessed her dedication to community service with such endeavors as the “Fill the Bus” campaign for local […]

This is in response to Aradhna Krishna’s column published in the Sun Journal, “How did ‘white’ become a metaphor for all things good?” (Aug. 2). I think it is obvious to say that the night is naturally dark, sometimes black; the day, often naturally sunny, blue with light. The color differences have nothing to do […]

Many have voiced fears about problems with the upcoming November elections. Action needs to be taken so that all eligible voters are confident that the system will record their choices properly. • In-person voting will take more time and cost more in the ongoing pandemic.

It is clear that she has only been speaking to BIW management, as she distorts the facts, just as BIW management has been lately. She attempts to portray IAM Local S6 […]

Ken Morse should be elected to represent House District 71 (Norway, Sweden, Waterford, West Paris). I have known Morse for nine years and believe he will serve the area with distinction. Morse has owned and operated a small business in the Oxford Hills. He understands the challenges of “Main Street” and has a lot of […]

The Arosaguntacook Tribe was eradicated. As if that’s not bad enough, Maine Natives who were not decimated have been mistreated, unrepresented and abused. So much that they have been blocked from using wells with no ability to solve the problem of access to safe water. Maine tribes do not have the same sovereign rights as […]

Morrison is a contractor and real estate developer, as well as a community-minded and very generous advocate of the people of Lewiston and Auburn. He has given back to the community by supporting senior […]
