Which Lewiston mayor allowed the Lewiston City Council to purchase the former Empire movie theater, the old St. Dominic High School and the building at the corner of Maple and Park streets that houses the Ritz Cafe?

The council then passes along to the taxpayers the bill for purchase and demolition of those buildings, plus the cost of relocating individuals living in the Maple Street building. That means a loss of property taxes that other city taxpayers will have to make up. The city of Lewiston is currently revaluating property.

Which Lewiston mayor had people seeking voter support for Lionel Guay, inside the voting place during the 2003 election? That action is in violation of Maine state election law, but was done at a number of voting places throughout the city.

Is that the type of government our soldiers are dying for?
