Jim Walker, 58, of Auburn, on why he voted for Tammie Grieshaber for mayor:

“I knew a little bit about Grieshaber, and I wasn’t sure about Jenkins because he used to be mayor in Lewiston and he’s a little liberal for me, and I felt more comfortable with Grieshaber.”

Rena Farrington, 42, of Auburn, on TABOR:

“For the last two years it seems there’ve been no changes in government spending. Our taxes continue to go up. At home, we have to live on a budget. The state and city need to learn that.”

Jeannine Pelletier of Auburn, on TABOR:

“I’m tired of my taxes going up and up and not knowing how the spending is working out for the people of Auburn.”

Scott Davis of Auburn, on why he voted for John Jenkins for mayor, and Ron Potvin and Belinda Gerry for City Council:

“I’m tired of the city having a few people deciding what’s right in their minds for everybody in the city without taking any account of what people feel.”

Aline Provencher, 56, of Auburn, on TABOR:

“We don’t have to let the government just do what it wants with our money. It’s gotten out of hand, and it’s time to change. We can be part of the decision-making process, and that’s what this means.”

Nicole Gagne-Charpentier, 34, of Auburn, on why she voted for John Jenkins for mayor:

“I’ve heard his name for a long time. He seems like a good choice.”
