It’s time for a change. In Auburn city government, specifically in our elected officials. It’s high time for civility, ability and responsibility among Auburn’s council members (and in the mayor’s office). That’s why I’m voting for Tim Cowan for City Council in Ward 2. A longtime Auburn resident, Tim has spent 30 years in public […]

I wholeheartedly endorse Luke Jensen for Lewiston mayor. With half a decade of service on the City Council and School Committee, he brings unparalleled experience to the role. It’s time for a change, and Luke Jensen is the candidate to make it happen. His vision for improving our schools, enhancing public safety, and boosting economic […]

I support Megan Parks’ run for the at-large seat on the Lewiston School Committee. She uses her head and her heart in decision making. This is good. She thinks about the consequences of the actions the board takes. This is better. Every election she brings the “worms out of the woodwork” who name call her […]

I moved to Lewiston a year ago. I admit that initially, some things about my Ward 5 neighborhood made me uneasy; I had never lived among so many folks struggling to get by. But I knew that my unease said more about me than it said about others, and I’ve come to embrace my neighborhood. […]

Is this going to be included in the takeover, and if so, does that mean it will be $14.5 billion bond? Pine Tree Power will not […]

I have known Eryn Leclair for 15 years. If there is one thing I can say about her, it is that she stands up for what she believes in and would advocate for those who wish to have their concerns and needs represented at the city level. Eryn would be a great representative for Ward […]

I’m not a Lewiston resident, and therefore my opinion may be quickly discounted, but I’ve known Lewiston City Council candidate David Chittim for 36 years. I was referred to him by a mutual friend when I was in deep distress, and he came across with flying colors. He’s man of his word and follow-through on […]

It’s a sad and pathetic day when the citizens of Lewiston are allowing two elected officials to control by intimidation and force the rest of the City Council. When they can do whatever they want without consequences — regardless of established laws. If they say it’s okay, then I suppose it is. I always thought […]
