I would like to see the dam rebuilt if its falling apart as long as they have a fish way for the fish to get through the dam and get upstream when needed to lay its eggs.
If the dam produces electricity, then rebuild it, but make sure the fish can get through the dam with a fishway.
I would not want to have a Council member or a Mayor to give the City a bad reputation and in trouble with the law and/or attacking children which are only 10 years old.
The City should not allow anyone like that to even be on the Council or even run for Mayor or any City position.
I wouldn't even support anyone like that.
I hope he spends 30 days or more in jail for even touching a child like he did.
They thought of everyone but the right one.
The one that built the bridge in the first place is the Central Maine Railroad used the bridges to get to the station and when the park was filled with railroad tracks for the railroad daays of passenger service.
The tracks still remain under the walkway at the park in auburn and along the trail that goes under the street in Auburn and towards the Washington street area.
I can support more building inspectors for Lewiston as I have seen how bad looking most of them are and those that have been condemned and the landlord's haven't done anything to the building should be torn down or the city takes the building and fixes them up and sell the units to low income buyers and let the owners of each unit maintain the building.
There are a lot of buildings around Lewiston that needs to be cleaned up property wise and also the building needs to be fixed up so it doesn't make the area look bad and affect the other buildings that have been fixed up so it doesn't bring down the value of the other builds in the area.
Some owners that fix up their buildings do it to bring up the value as an investment, but there are those landlords that simply wants to collect rents and not fix up the building until they are just used up.
You can go around town and its easy to see what buildings owners care about and the ones that just suck the life from the building until its unsafe to live in.
If I was an inspector, I would help volunteer my time to help the city get an idea on how bad the problem really is so the city could decide what to do about the problem.
I see they talk about banning smoking in clubs, but they law that I have heard so much about which says smoking in public places is banned, but I noticed people are still smoking in public places such as sidewalks. Sidewalks are public places and they don't seem to care, but they stop public from smoking in places to eat, bars and other places. I would like to see the law stop the smokers from smoking while on sidewalks as I don't like the smell of the smoke I breath in when I go by them and I have breathing problems as it is.
Well, we'll see if this one is like the last one or not.
But we all will see if they make cuts if the disabled or elderly will be the first as always.
The State of Maine has already shown very clear that Maine does not care about the disabled or elderly over the past few years as seen in newspapers too.
I can see it now, some that doesn't like someone they know making a comment on a story turns around and starts making comment about that person to be mean or to ruin their life online. Whats to stop that from happening or someone trying to be someone else and makes personal attacks towards other to just to ruin the real persons life online.
There are lots of people like that because some can't get along or just plain hates the person.
Using real names just makes it possible to have others look up where they live or other things.
Just think about about all those that steal others ID or creates problems for others.
I'll have to see how the new system works out and check the paper to see if crimes against any commenters happens.
I have read in news sites about crimes against story commenters because they didn't like what was written.
I have to wonder why people look at those sex offenders on the list for the area they live in when we have sex offenders that come from other towns and commit sex crimes.
How do you know if a sex offender is from another town and hanging around to watch kids or to commit a sex crime. I have to wonder if anyone ever thinks that other sex offenders plan to go to other towns knowing that others won't know who they are and hangs around our kids in the Lewiston/Auburn area parks.
I have to start wondeing how safe our kids are since we don't really keep track of out of town sex offenders or who they are.
I make bags that can be carried over the shoulder and they are quite strong and secure.
Maybe I should start making a few for those in wheelchairs and using walkers and let them have them at only what it cost me to buy the material to make them.
I carry one of my bags , but I didn't care how it looks on myself but it does the job and it is secure for me.
I think I will talk to some of them about the shoulder bags when I go out.
But I think who ever is doing these robberies of those with walkers and wheelchairs still have to worry as they are still on the loose and I hope the cops catch them very soon.

That's my opinion of it.

City urging recycling customers to register
Maybe if people was to call City Hall they would find out more info and what to do and when.
