I write in enthusiastic support of Holly Lasagna for a second term as city councilor from Auburn’s Ward 1. Lasagna’s commitments to her ward and Auburn run deep, as evidenced by her thoughtful deliberation in council meetings. She has also helped bring the new EL High School into reality by serving on its planning committee, […]

The issue of the impeachment of President Trump could alter people’s views of the constitutional balance of powers and how the rules are followed to keep that balance in place. Hopefully, Americans will recognize the seriousness of this and see it for what it is — and isn’t. There have been only two impeachments in more […]

When casting your ballot for Lewiston mayor this year, I hope others will join me in voting for Mark Cayer. I had the good fortune to sit next to Mark while serving on the city council. I think one of his best attributes is his ability to listen, no matter what side of an issue […]

I am delighted that Holly Lasagna has decided to run for reelection to the Auburn City Council, Ward 1. During her two years on the council, Holly has demonstrated that she believes in fair and open processes in city government, in respectful dialogue with members of the public, and in calm and thorough discussion of […]

I am supporting Katie Boss for an At-Large seat on the Auburn City Council. Katie is a thoughtful, bright, and capable professional, who is committed to helping make Auburn a community where individuals, families and businesses can all prosper. She is a good listener who can engage in meaningful and respectful dialogue with all constituents […]

Four-car teams and big money have ruined racing. NASCAR has become less enjoyable in the past few years, to the point where it is not enjoyable anymore. The Joe Gibbs cars and Penske cars dominate every race, not forgetting Kevin Harvick. When a less-funded team’s car is lapped 15 laps into a race, something is […]

I’ve known Matt Leonard virtually all of my life, going way back to the second grade. I’m glad he’s running for city council. Matt grew up with many of the disadvantages our group of friends had in common. Despite that, he was able to break out and join the U.S. Navy, where he had a […]

There has never been a more sincere or dedicated city councilor than Auburn’s Belinda Gerry. Her hours of selfless, unprejudiced, dedication to the city, showcases a commitment rare in the modern political culture. It will be our good fortune to re-elect her to the Auburn City Council Nov.5. Constantly growing as a leader, she was […]

I am curious as to whether the Mainers outside Jared Golden’s office holding up signs that say “stop the witch hunt” have any idea of what that term actually means. It is defined as “a campaign against a person or group holding unorthodox or unpopular views,” and the term itself suggests that there is no […]

Lewiston can boast of several new and well-equipped schools, among them Geiger, Farwell, and the brand new Robert V. Connor School. K-6 students there have dedicated facilities for art and music. Just a few years ago, the front entrance of the Lewiston Middle School was expanded to increase office space on the first floor, move […]
