Consolidation means savings
We moved out of Lewiston last year and are missing the opportunity to vote on the merger of Lewiston-Auburn that will be voted on in November. If we were still living there, we would support it 100 percent. We see it as a definite win-win situation for both cities and a plus for all the […]

Cayer will find lasting solutions
As a former member of the Lewiston City Council, I know that effective municipal governing is about bringing people together in order to tackle the many challenges a city faces.

Chin has demonstrated a capacity to withstand the sometimes vicious side of politics with grace and fortitude. He has focused his career on serving, […]
