I am writing to express my concern about the proposed merger of Lewiston and Auburn. I feel that it is a bad idea to merge the two cities. Both sides have been working together just fine for decades.

I can’t believe how some people who want the merger have turned to name-calling and have been verbally attacking those who are opposed to the merger. They have stooped to calling the opposition group “closed-minded old farts.” They should remember that a lot of us “old farts” always go to the polls to vote.

Everyone has a right to their opinion and there is no reason to bad mouth people just because they don’t agree. Some people need to keep it clean and stop acting like spoiled children.
