As someone who not only drives on Lewiston streets, but also bikes and jogs along them, it is important to me that safety is considered in decisions made about streets. The community has been devastated by pedestrian deaths in the past, and it is important that Lewiston has leadership who advocate for changes to keep […]

Bethel wind ordinance
The Review Committee still has restrictions against allowing a commercial wind energy company building a farm in Bethel. The committee members are listening to the anti-wind people and their scare tactics used in other western towns. A positive study, showing impacts on health and environment, was published in the Sun Journal (May 6, 2015). The […]

Disrespecting the flag
I am sick and tired of what is going on in this country today because of political correctness. This country is being destroyed from within. There is a lack of common sense in this country today. Millionaire athletes disrespect the flag that men died for to keep it flying over the land. For me, and […]

We support Renee Provencher Courtemanche, who is running for the Lewiston School Committee from Ward 1. We have known her since she was a student in elementary school. Her character and work ethic are outstanding. She has lived in Lewiston all her life, and her children attend Lewiston public schools. She is an active member […]

Where are you, Rep. Poliquin?
Hmmm. Given that Rep. Bruce Poliquin is a sitting U.S. representative and also running for re-election for his 2nd District seat, doesn’t it seem strange that he, again, is not concerned about the fact that his constituents need to be able to reach him? A new sign on the window of his Lewiston office states […]

It is seldom that such a fine individual as Mark Cayer has been a candidate for the office of mayor of Lewiston. Cayer’s vast experience has admirably represented Lewiston’s Ward 6. In addition […]

Lee understands the issues
The municipal elections in November are nonpartisan. We are not electing Democrats, Republicans or independents for mayor, city council and school committee. We are electing citizens who are willing to give their time to understand the issues that Auburn faces and to come to agreement about how Auburn should move forward. That is particularly important […]

Rea is dedicated, responsive, brings abundant energy to her commitments and possesses an obvious passion for the city of Lewiston and its bright future. I have also seen Rea serve many […]

Having served a full term and now filling a partial term, Councilor Adam Lee understands both earlier and current issues. Having served with Lee and now viewing him, I appreciate his thoroughness and thoughtfulness in considering and speaking to community issues. Further, I appreciate his clarity and respectfulness that he displays in presenting his views. […]

Cayer committed to Lewiston
In November, I will be voting for Mark Cayer. Lewiston needs a mayor both committed to and concerned for all of the people of this city. As city council chairperson, two things stand out: Cayer worked hard to bring opposing sides together, and he recognized the need to pay off and/or reduce out-of-control debt. Lewiston […]
