Most Lewiston-Auburn citizens agree with the Joint Charter Commission’s analysis of the challenges that the community faces. The anti-merger folks simply do not like the merger as a solution. While rejecting the merger, there have been no anti-merger ideas or solutions to improve the challenges Lewiston-Auburn faces.
If we all recognize the same problems, isn’t it better to make bold decisions for potential improvements rather than doing nothing at all?

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers.
