Something is very wrong in Auburn City Hall. During the past five years, since January of 2012, Auburn has had two city managers and is looking for a third. There has been a full (not interim) city manager only two-thirds of the time. The current acting city manager, who had been a candidate for the […]

Auburn needs stability
Something is very wrong in Auburn City Hall. During the past five years, since January of 2012, Auburn has had two city managers and is looking for a third. There has been a full (not interim) city manager only two-thirds of the time. The current acting city manager, who had been a candidate for the […]

'Nay' to popular vote for president
I just read “Electoral vote change in state?” (Sun Journal, Feb. 18). I am horrified. That cannot happen. I have voted in every election since I became old enough to vote, and I am 72. It seems the Democrats in Maine are trying to disregard who I vote for. In the end, they want to […]

Where is Rep. Poliquin?
Where is U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin? Good luck finding him this week. Although Congress is on a break so that representatives can meet with their constituents, Poliquin is nowhere to be seen. He has refused to hold town hall meetings with Mainers or even to release his schedule. His staff claims “security concerns.” Is he […]

Gun different from chainsaw
So, Sen. Eric Brakey, R-Auburn, thinks buying a gun is like “buying a chainsaw, which requires no permit” (Sun Journal, “Will concealed carry expand, Feb. 15)? Chainsaws are designed to cut wood and are, incidentally, quite dangerous, like lawnmowers, blenders and automobiles. Guns are designed for killing, whether animals or people, and to ignore that […]

Retirees like being in Maine
Gov. Paul LePage has left me wondering if he knows what he is talking about. I have read a number of times about his complaint that Maine has the oldest population of any state in the union. I am 78 and take his rantings personal. LePage says Maine needs the young and smart. Of course […]

LePage's comment not welcome
Once again, Maine’s illustrious governor (far, far from it) has showed all of New England that shooting off his mouth (again) has alienated a whole bunch of people. In this case, millions of New England Patriots fans. LePage’s best quality is making a fool of himself — again. The Patriots are New England’s team and […]

Wind towers unsightly
I write in response to Diana Tozier’s letter (Feb. 9) that was in response to Betsey Foster’s letter (Feb. 4). I am pro-environment, and I am against wind towers that are 600 feet tall (check facts on the state web site). Each tower requires one acre of cement, and there are 17 towers proposed, just […]
