Breton supports education
Education deserves the best representation in Maine. Elijah Breton would be a great Representative in Augusta to ensure that all children in this state have access to the highest quality education. As an educator for more than 37 years in Poland, I have devoted a lot of my life to education. I care deeply about […]

Vote ‘no’ on Question 3
I think that gun owners and non-gun owners alike, can agree that it is in everyone’s best interest to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and individuals who are prohibited by law from owning or using firearms. That’s why it is already illegal to sell firearms to “prohibited persons” under current laws, regardless […]

Wacky presidential election
What a wacky presidential election race. Due to hostile tactics, followed by predictable retaliations, the public is being presented with a ridiculous, high-powered, prolonged celebrity battle, albeit fascinating because of its peculiarity. Sadly, what is missing is the more normal campaign, where the candidates mainly put forward their ideas on the important matters — the […]

Brakey supports job creation
Maine Sen. Eric Brakey is one of the few in Augusta truly fighting for the people. I was not happy when I heard that the Maine Legislature wanted to create a multi-million dollar, corporate loan program for out-of-state businesses.

Concerning that ‘trash’ comment
Objections to the proposed housing project off Loring Avenue in Auburn were never about the race of possible occupants. Many objections were from residents who were concerned about their taxes, abutting home values, schooling, etc., for the next 30 years. In response to Jane Costlow’s letter, Sept. 11, I firmly believe that comments objecting to […]

Use crosswalks safely
My pet peeve right now is people crossing the street (not in crosswalks) and forcing cars to stop for them. There are designated crosswalks for people to use. Cars do stop and give people, who are waiting to cross, the opportunity to do so. I do not have a problem with that. I do have […]

Brakey makes Maine a better place
When it comes to supporting economic development for the Lewiston-Auburn community, Sen. Eric Brakey is a tireless advocate for residents. It is no secret that Maine has its challenges. Maine is one of the highest taxed states in the nation and that has made it difficult to attract job creators here. With leaders such as […]
