For a long time I have accepted the fact of term limits for U.S. presidents and felt it should also apply to all members of Congress. Recently an effort was made by a committee in the House to start an effort which would lead to legislation in regard to term limits. It failed to pass, […]

Bruce Damon: Beauparlant’s experience ‘invaluable’ for Lewiston School Committee
Having served with Paul Beauparlant on the Lewiston School Committee for the last three-plus years, it is my honor to encourage all the voters of Ward 7 to support his reelection.

Brian DuBois: Harmon’s mayoral run raises concerns
Jeff Harmon has attended Planning Board and City Council meetings and, while I applaud his commitment, there is cause for concern. One topic was Planning Board approval of Stable Ridge Apartments.

Thomas Peters: Levesque, Connor, would work together for Auburn, Lewiston
If I lived in Auburn I would vote to reelect Mayor Jason Levesque. He is moving that city forward, and residents should be proud of his efforts. Let’s hope there is a new mayor in Lewiston, like Jon Connor, who I know would work hand-in-hand with Auburn to move both our great cities into the […]
Mohamed Ibrahim: Sheline rolls out red carpet, not red tape

Marc Jalbert: Where are Question 3’s advocates?
Is it my imagination, or is the only money available regarding consumer-owned electricity Question 3 to taint its passage? We are now getting this advice from all kinds of people right now, not just the electric companies. I’m just wondering as to just how good would this be for us, given we’re not hearing from the […]

Stephen Kottler: Lewiston needs Connor as its next mayor
Lewiston needs an intelligent, pragmatic mayor with vision, proven success in leadership and business, and the ability to work professionally and productively with the entire City Council, as our next mayor. Jon Connor is that person. We have suffered two years of mayoral selfies and reports of lunches, along with a surreal denial of the […]
