On Dec. 12, I will be voting for Ben Chin as mayor of Lewiston. Chin is a man with a vision for the Lewiston community but, more importantly, he is a man of integrity and ethics. Many in this country and even the community, have lost their moral compass. I want elected officials who will […]

Lewiston wins with Ben Chin
Ben Chin has a vision and plan to move Lewiston forward, to rid Lewiston of a negative image, and to begin to attract businesses, the arts and younger residents to this community. It is about time. For too long, Lewiston officials have taken a “we can’t” approach to improving the city that has negatively impacted […]

Lewiston deserves Shane Bouchard
As a past city councilor, as chairperson of the Lewiston Finance Committee and as a volunteer for other city and school matters, I have gotten to know many people who were elected or wishing to be elected.

Chin will unify the community
I will be voting for Ben Chin for Lewiston’s mayor on Dec. 12 in the run-off election at Longley Elementary School, Birch Street, Lewiston (the polling location for all wards on Election Day).

President unfit for office?
Amendment XXV to the Constitution of the United States defines the process for replacing a president who is unfit for that office. Are Donald Trump’s mental faculties in a state of irreversible deterioration? If so, what will it take for member of his inner circle, the sycophants in the West Wing or his followers in […]

Vote against GOP tax bill
The Republican Party is no longer the conservative party. It is now the corporate party. Since the year 2000, thousands of lobbyists have taken over Congress with money and gifts, etc. The tax reform bill under consideration in Congress favors the richest one percent, big banks, Wall Street and investors. For decades, America has been […]

The costs of renewable energy
Income taxes or taxes on electric bills — what’s the difference? They both take money from people. When ratepayers are asked to voluntarily cough up cash for renewable energy, such as wind, they don’t. I don’t know anyone who self-imposes extra payments to an ever-rising electric bill. Most people will consider decreasing their power usage, […]

Bouchard offers solutions, not rhetoric
For the past two years, I have been the city councilor for Lewiston’s Ward 2, where Ben Chin lives. How many times has Chin contacted me about his great ideas for Lewiston? Zero. Weird, since I would have been in a position to bring forth his ideas to the city council. Perhaps he only talks […]

Chin seeks to improve lives
It is ridiculous to have to vote again is the sentiment of many seniors and other people I have talked to since the Lewiston election in November. Ben Chin got 4,239 votes — some 1,260 more that his opponent. Why should Lewiston taxpayers pay for a second election? Lewiston has had great elected leaders who were […]
