The carpetbaggers have arrived. It must be an election year. There is an elitist billionaire hypocrite throwing his money around in the name of safety. While Michael Bloomberg spends his money to disarm the citizens of Maine, he struts around with bodyguards armed with guns. He thinks his life is worth protecting, but not other […]

Sampson understands the rules
I am very pleased that people in District 20 have an excellent candidate to elect for Maine state senator. Kimberly Sampson will be a natural fit for the Health and Human Services Committee. As a dental hygienist, she treats victims of dental decay — a widespread cause of heart attacks and uncontrolled diabetes. The current […]

Heritage of Bates spreads continues
The Sun Journal article, “The Art of the Bates Bedspread” (Oct. 2), failed to inform readers of the wonderful economic development in Monmouth — The Maine Heritage Weavers. The Cloutier family took an empty factory space in Monmouth, invested in machines and skilled workers, and has produced exactly the products described in the article. This […]

Time to elect Fay
One thing I know is that something in Maine politics needs to change, especially party politics. Some politicians are so steeped in the party line that their votes reflect the needs of the party instead of the needs of the people. And what about compromise? Is it a lost art? I want a representative who […]

His wide experience as an educator and principal will serve the community well as he works to ensure that every student has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Keep Brakey working for us
This Nov. 8, I am proudly voting to re-elect Eric Brakey as state senator. When I served in the Legislature and then on the Auburn City Council, I have always made senior citizens one of my top priorities and worked hard to make sure that they received the services they needed. Sen. Brakey has proven […]

Question 2 not the answer
From the moment that children start school, we instill in them the importance of a good education to get a good job. But if Question 2 on the November ballot is passed, they must also be told that if they get a really good job and stay in Maine, the state will penalize them for […]

Maher for county commissioner
In the decade that I have known Zakk Maher, he has been appointed to several challenging committees and boards. His financial savvy and creative zeal in these roles has shown him to be a true leader. He has always put his ethics, family and his community first and that cannot go without saying. If District […]

The non-money changer
In his syndicated column Sept. 29, Cal Thomas wrote that “only one candidate for president is capable of overturning the ‘money changers’ in Washington.” He refers to Donald Trump — the same non-money-changer who filed bankruptcy at least four times — each time short-changing his investors and financing with more junk bonds. That is the […]
