Donald Trump’s supporters think “he tells the truth.” These are actual Trump quotes: “I’m totally pro-choice.” (Fox News, 1999) “He (Obama) is doing a really good job.” (CNN, 2009) “I know Hillary and I think she’d make a great president …” (“Trump Blog,” 2008) “Millions of women … are helped by Planned Parenthood.” (Houston, 2016) […]

Sen. Patrick cares about Mainers
I am writing in support of John Patrick’s re-election to the Maine Senate. Patrick is an incredibly honest man, working very hard to help the people of Maine to support their families through good jobs that pay a living wage. As a journeyman mechanic for the paper mill in Rumford, he knows what working people […]

Residents must get involved
For the past 20-plus years, the town of Norway has had a competent manager and the citizens of Norway have been wise enough to support and keep him. Together, they created a healthy and functioning government. They repaired the roads, staffed their town office, provided police and fire protection. They attracted new businesses while preserving […]

World lacks honesty
I recently lost my wallet and would like to thank the person who turned in my empty wallet. That was all the cash I had for the month, along with my bill money and my meds, so now I have to go without because of a dishonest person. What happened to honesty in this world? […]

Auburn taxes too high
So, the School Department wants more land for East Auburn School? The school has been in the paper numerous times, calling for its closing, similar to C.P. Wight in North Auburn and Webster School. Why would the East Auburn Men’s Club turn road frontage over to a school department just to sell it? The school […]

Mr. Morse, in berating those around him for being intolerant of immigrant ethnic groups, exhibits a fair amount of bias himself, and appears to be paralleling the words written by an immigrant […]

Poliquin fiscally responsible
For years, we have sat at a table in our home and gone over the family’s budget for the following year. It is very simple — we do not spend more than we earn. But that just doesn’t seem to be the case down in Washington. President Obama, in his eight years, has never brought […]

Praise to the Auburn PD
On Friday, Aug. 23, I left my home in Dixfield to go to Portland to deliver some furniture to my daughter. I stopped at a gas station outside Auburn to get gas. Driving on the turnpike, I pulled in at the Gray rest area to get something to drink. To my dismay, my wallet was […]

Voting for Elijah Breton
District 65 (New Gloucester and part of Poland) needs to vote for Democratic candidate Elijah Breton to be our next State Representative. I have had the fortune of witnessing Breton’s hard work and dedication for advocacy since we were in middle school together up through college. He has always stood up for the right thing, […]

Hate not a solution
In a parking lot in Auburn last week, I stopped my car to let two pedestrians pass. They were teenage girls, and from their skin tone and brightly colored clothes and headscarves they wore, I made the assumption that they were from our Somalian community. Coming along behind them was an older white man, a […]
