I write in support of the candidacy of Adam Lee for the office of mayor of the city of Auburn. Lee served as a city councilor during the time I had the privilege to serve as fire chief of the city of Auburn. The thoughtful leadership, quality of character and desire to serve others that […]

Veterans Day gives every American the opportunity to celebrate the courage, sacrifice, and bravery of this nation’s servicemen and women. As many people know, Veterans Day was established to honor all veterans of all wars. We also thank living men and women who served during peacetime.

Chin has common sense plan
Ben Chin is the only candidate for mayor of Lewiston with concrete, actionable ideas to improve our city for everyone. He recently released his plan to rebuild the local, quality, ownership market for housing in Lewiston. As a local homeowner, I am excited about Chin’s vision. He will work to reduce interest rates available to […]

I am especially concerned about the future of Auburn’s school system. As I understand it, if there is a consolidation, there […]

Consolidation totally ridiculous
I have watched all of the debates and read all of the articles concerning the proposed consolidation of Lewiston and Auburn. I still do not understand the urgency behind this project. Where did all of the money and screaming headlines come from? Just a few short months ago, nobody was talking about the consolidation (merger) […]

Kneeling athletes
Athletes who kneel during the national anthem are not being disrespectful; they are petitioning for a redress of grievances. It is the highest form of protest that I can imagine. Those who cannot or will not see that need to look into their hearts. “The land of the free and the home of the brave” […]

Reasons to consolidate are clear
We moved to the Lewiston-Auburn area almost 40 years ago and fell in love with our community and the great people who live here. Through the years, both of us have invested ourselves and our resources in dozens of community organizations that are the backbone of a strong community. L-A residents are hardworking, caring friends […]
