The Veterans Administration is being scrutinized for the way some veterans with physical and mental disorders have been treated. Politicians would never allow themselves to be treated that way. My prayers go for the ones who saw combat — they deserve the very best care. Some people went into the armed forces and served this […]

Patrick walks the walk
Many politicians “talk the talk.” Sen. John Patrick also “walks the walk.” He supports Maine’s students with his words and with his actions. As a school librarian, I have invited many local officials to visit my school and to read to students. Sen. Patrick has accepted the invitation multiple times. He takes the time to […]

Question 2 worth supporting
Question 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot says, “Do you want to add a 3 percent tax on individual Maine taxable income above $200,000 to create a state fund that would provide direct support for student learning in kindergarten through 12th grade public education.” If ballot questions were longer, voters would know that the surcharge […]

Auburn spending on wrong things
The beautiful city of Auburn is spending way too much of its taxpayers’ money on city parks, trails, arts and New Auburn’s dream village.

The only thing they use now is “you are a racist.” People should wake up and appreciate the truth instead of a lie. Gov. LePage and […]

Changes in Homestead Exemption
During the past few weeks, Lewiston homeowners found their bi-annual property tax bills in their mailboxes. That has prompted many residents to reach out, asking me questions about changes in the Maine Homestead Exemption. I would like to clarify a few things.

LePage says what is on his mind
Three cheers for Gov. Paul LePage for saying just what was on his mind. Granted, he shouldn’t have used obscenities, but he said exactly what was on his mind, and for that I am proud of him. I hate those people who pussyfoot around, saying this and that and then afterwards apologizing right and left […]

Fay respectful with others
When I found out that Jessica Fay, candidate for state Representative in Poland, Casco and Raymond, had signed the Maine Council of Churches Civil Discourse Covenant, pledging to be truthful and respectful when interacting with others, even those with whom she disagrees, I was glad, but not surprised. I have witnessed her listening to voters […]
