Living in the country and appreciating my privacy, I get annoyed when strange people come in my driveway. I always ask myself, now what are they peddling — religion, products or politics? It happened to me recently when I came out from my wood lot and found an unknown car in my driveway, and my […]

Sawin Millett is one of the most recognized public servants in the Oxford Hills area. He has served in Augusta under four different governors.

Nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave.
Halloween is rapidly approaching. Ghosts, ghouls, goblins and witches have nothing on the Trump administration. People should read “Fire and Fury” by Michael Wolff, “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob Woodward and “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis. Then they can be afraid, very afraid.

Find alternative to Question 1
Home health care is very important as Maine’s population ages and health care costs remain unstable. However, I cannot support Question 1. Tax policy and the tax rates should be set by the Legislature, not by a ballot question. Some may find it satisfying to increase taxes on “the wealthy” at the ballot box, but, […]

Support for Question 1
I have been working in the home care field for more than 30 years now. The pay for home care workers is low. The attention and care needed by people with disabilities and seniors from the home care services are not always enough. Question 1 will allow home care recipients to live decent lives in […]

One such attack came during the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. When there should have been simply an examination of his interpretation of the Constitution, there was nothing more than […]

Supporting people in need
As a home care worker, I believe that Maine is capable of allowing people with disabilities, seniors and veterans to get the care they need in their homes, regardless of their income. Home care for all referendum (Question 1) will be on the ballot in the upcoming election and a “yes” vote would give the […]

I had the privilege of serving with Andrews on the Paris Revitalization Committee during my time as interim town manager for Paris in 2016. He was […]

Give Mainers a better choice
American health care requires significant improvement. Countless individuals and families in need either do not have the money or the access to resources to meet their medical needs. Question 1 in November, a universal home care-for-all initiative, would be a logical step in the right direction for the elderly, folks with disabilities and for many […]

CMP service minimized
CMP needs to get back into the service industry before we are all literally left in the dark! Central Maine Power’s service and line departments have been so minimized that trying to get appointments are months in the future versus days or a week. Being a self-employed electrician for more than 40years, I have never […]
