Looking Back on Sept. 21
100 Years Ago: 1924 One of the old landmarks on the county fair grounds in South Paris known as the “Bill” Twitchell dining hall, was handled to Fore Street this week.

Cynthia Forrest: Rep. Libby aims to tackle state’s ‘out-of-control’ spending
We received our property tax bill the other day. It made me think about Maine’s tax rates in general, which are in the top four highest in the country, and number one highest state for property tax rates, when compared to income. In contrast, states like New Hampshire have no income tax, and still their […]
