Why should people fear merging Lewiston and Auburn? People from Lewiston go to Auburn to buy things that are not sold in Lewiston. Lewiston residents go to Auburn restaurants and go shopping at various stores. We have appointments with doctors and dentists in Auburn. We go have car repairs done there, etc.
If everyone in Lewiston stopped doing business in Auburn, most likely some stores would have to close.
People from Lewiston are doing Auburn businesses a favor and keeping them in business, so why should Auburn turn its back on Lewiston?
