I am writing to voice my enthusiastic support for the candidacy of Kimberly Sampson, who is running for the Maine state Senate District 20, representing Auburn, Poland, Mechanic Falls and Minot. A fourth generation resident of Auburn, my support for Sampson was reinforced when I recalled the toxic partisan party-line mailings that I received from […]

Home health care shortages hurt
This is in response to the Sept. 4 Sun Journal story, “Heartbreaking: Home health care shortage leaving Maine elderly without help they need.” “Unconscionable” would be more accurate in describing the growing problem with the state-wide shortage of home health care personal support specialists who provide care and assistance to families who are caring for […]

Can Gov. LePage help himself?
At first, I was just annoyed when Gov. Paul LePage tried to get a service member to validate his comment that “A bad guy is a bad guy, I don’t care what color he is. When you go to war, if you know the enemy … You shoot at the enemy. You try to identify […]

Hooray for Trump
My wife said that Donald Trump is bad news and Hillary Clinton is the only choice. Let me see … what is in her background? Clinton said that Benghazi was the result of an anti-Islam video. That was a lie. She wants open borders, but what is the benefit? It would be easier for drug […]

Brakey supports local control
My family is supporting Sen. Eric Brakey for re-election in the upcoming November 2016 election.

Fuller will represent us honestly
For those who are tired of the lack of civility and respect in public discourse this year, Roger Fuller, running for representative from House District 59, is the person to vote for. Fuller is thoughtful, gracious, educated, well spoken and curious. He listens and does not promise what he cannot deliver. He spent 30 years […]

Disgusted with Democrats
Democrats should let Gov. Paul LePage do his job and stop finding fault with him. Democrats are something else again. With all the state’s work ahead of them, all they can find time to do is criticize the governor and try to see if they can get rid of him. Liberals seem to think there […]

Teaching children to be respectful
Gov. Paul LePage is free to use, in private, whatever language he wants to express his thoughts. But when he is speaking or writing in public, as Maine’s governor, he should remember the many parents and teachers who try every day to teach children to be respectful, decent citizens. LePage’s recent outburst, one of many, […]
