Here we go again. Republicans Patti Gagne and Luke Jensen have come up with another way to disenfranchise more voters. They want to change the municipal elections from November to June. They want to do it to help the poor elderly from going out in the cold to vote, but the real reason is to […]

Restore Lewiston’s image, vote Chin
Let’s be clear — donations to Ben Chin’s campaign aren’t questionable. Recall the culmination of events that brought national attention, which garnered donations from outside the area. Chin has led a grassroots effort to raise funding and his efforts have been successful. Letters to the editor raising misguided grievances about Chin’s fundraising are groundless attempts […]

Pellett retailers take notice
I have been burning wood pellets for five years. This year, I didn’t buy any because of the high price of pellets ($299 a ton) and the low price of oil. Years ago, pellets were $2.30 a bag but now they are $6 a bag. If that isn’t a sign of greed, I don’t know […]

What I actually support is a statewide referendum on the ballot next year that would create a 3 percent surcharge on income in excess of $200,000 to fund education. It would bring more than $3 […]

Strategy needed to defeat ISIS
There are two big problems facing this country. The first is ISIS and other radical factions in the world that want to conquer America and kill those who oppose them. They make no bones about their intentions. They are this nation’s enemies and America is at war with them. The U.S. has a capable army […]

Chin will bring positive change
The city of Lewiston is at an important crossroad. Voters can decide to take the high road or the low road. Take the high road to promote economic prosperity for all, or the low road. I have had enough with all the negative rhetoric about our residents. Local taxes pay to run the city government, […]
