How much more proof do people need that Donald Trump is unfit to serve? He has brought the United States closer to a war with North Korea than any other administration due to childish and petty name calling. His loved ones won’t be fighting that war. He has alienated countries around the world with his […]

I dream about One LA
Two brothers, Lionel and Norm Guay, served at the same time as mayors of the Twin Cities. They were visionaries and saw the possibility of making Lewiston-Auburn one family. They created the L-A Joint Services Commission, on which I served with nine others from both cities. We worked tirelessly for two years and our report […]

A reason to vote against merger
I hope that residents of Lewiston understand that their city will be required to spend between $500,000 to $1 million to have a revaluation of all property completed in the city if a merger vote passes this November. Because the newly merged city would open its doors on Jan. 1, 2020, the revaluation would need […]

Clarify code of conduct
President Donald Trump has started another fire storm. Freedom of speech and expression, or forced expression of patriotism? My wife and I have been on both sides of the argument and are in agreement on this point. If I went to work, punched my time card and was officially on the company clock, then kneeled […]

Stop subsidizing pro sports
I have been frustrated for years that politicians have been taxing overburdened citizens to support multi-million dollar professional sports. It is time to stop subsidizing special interest groups’ arenas and other areas of the sports businesses. The only way Americans should help sports is support through high school. Then sports enterprises should be on their […]

Gudas the right choice
The residents of Lewiston’s Ward 6 are very fortunate to have Pauline Gudas as a candidate for City Council. I have known her for more than 30 years and know she will be a champion for the people of Ward 6 on the council. She is a hard-working, dedicated, community-oriented individual who wants only the […]

Use proper terminology
Keeping up with “politically correct” issues, phrases and terminology is a daunting task. Just when I was getting used to “white privilege,” they spring “white supremacy” on us. It is even more perplexing with the immigration issue, where “illegal aliens” have become “unauthorized immigrants,” and have now been lumped into the one-size-fits-all term “immigrants” — […]

Workable health care system
Obamacare became law seven years ago and was sold with false promises, i.e., keep your doctor, annual savings, keep your insurance, more affordable, etc. It contained several thousand pages of regulations the Democrats assured us they read before voting for it. Really? Since then, deductibles have increased significantly, individual market premiums continue to increase, state […]

Protect the Katahdin Woods, Waters
The safety of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument is at risk. A few weeks ago, I was pleased to read that Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke did not plan to shrink or eliminate Maine’s national monument. While Secretary Zinke does not want to change the size of the Katahdin Woods and Waters, […]

A goal to share
As a resident of Auburn for most of my life, I feel compelled to write about the upcoming merger vote. From what I have read and heard, some citizens from both cities worry that schools would face major changes that would severely impact traditions and loyalties. I was pleased to learn that the merger would […]
