Kent Ackley will be a fantastic state representative for House District 82 (Litchfield, Monmouth, Wales). He is a local, hard-working businessman who listens carefully, thinks independently and is a natural leader, building bridges between people with common-sense problem solving. Not only does he have a solid footing in economics but, as a registered Maine Guide, […]

Greenwood didn’t respond
Gov. Paul LePage has a collection of clippings which he claims to contain “the enemy” — Hispanic and black people. Unlike the governor, I’m not into scrap-booking, but I have a photo album of Hispanic-Americans — my family. We’ve been married 30 years, with a daughter in college. We pay taxes, vote, volunteer in the […]

Sampson set to solve problems
I have had the pleasure of getting to know Kimberly Sampson, the Democratic candidate for State Senate in District 20, while driving her door-to-door as she has crisscrossed from Minot to Auburn to New Gloucester to Poland and Mechanic Falls. She is a bright, tenacious young woman with a strong vision for Maine Through snow, […]

Constitution has final say
I wonder how many people have really read the U.S. Constitution? Some cry about how Donald Trump spoke about Khizr Khan and his family. Kahn was the man who, at the Democratic Convention said Trump needed to read the Constitution. But have the Kahns, or people in general? The Constitution limits the government in its […]

Enough crude, rude language
I am tired of the manufactured truths of Gov. Paul LePage and his counterpart, Donald Trump. Neither one takes responsibility, but states “people are saying,” or “I heard …” or “I was told …” (source unnamed). What a cowardly way to start stories that have no basis in fact. Their crude, rude language gets them […]

Keep Clintons out of White House
I wonder how many voters remember that when the Clintons left the White House, they took much of the furniture and art? I do. They were ordered to return it. The Clintons are “grifters.” People can look that up. In my opinion (and the opinion of many others), they are immoral, money-grubbing, elitist and above […]

Trump is a ‘dangerous man’
I just became an American citizen and can vote in my first election. I am from Scotland and recently visited old haunts where the most popular topic was Donald Trump. He is almost universally detested there because of his despoilment of the countryside for profit motives. He bulldozed a beautiful area of sand dunes in […]

Said is meticulous
Not sure what a “Register of Probate” does? I have seen Joanna Dow Said’s clerical, organizational and management skills in action — she really does have a gift of administration. “Meticulous” certainly is an apt description of her work. She does a great job. That, coupled with her experience doing the Register of Probate job […]

Claims for Brakey are off the mark
This is a response to the letters praising Eric Brakey for helping to secure state funds for a new Edward Little High School. Many people have been involved in securing these funds when, in 2004, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges determined Auburn needed to address the building’s deficiencies in order to keep […]

Repeal Dixfield’s 2012 wind ordinance
Dixfield will be voting Nov. 8 to repeal the current wind ordinance adopted in 2012. The 2012 ordinance is not a workable ordinance. By repealing the current ordinance, the state Department of Environmental Protection regulations go into effect. The DEP has experience in the development of wind farms and has developed regulations for the protection of […]
