What a beautiful time of year it is to live in Maine: the summer sun, cool breeze, tranquil lakes, and peaceful seashore this time of year.
Despite the beauty of nature, when assessing our incoming bills my stress increases as less and less of the money I earn remains in my pocket. Appliances wear out faster, the cost of fuel and electricity keeps rising, and dare I talk about our grocery bill yet again? You get the idea. It’s discouraging to say the least.
So I set down my phone and social media and begin talking to the people around me. They are experiencing the same difficulties. That is why I want someone fighting for me in Augusta to keep what’s mine. A voice for a free Maine. The Maine I want to go beyond my doorstep to enjoy.
Which is why I will be voting for Laurel Libby.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
