Mary Ann Norcross seems to forget Auburn Water District superintendents offered an average of $1,000 per acre using the “land grab” septic ordinance (“No ‘land grab scheme’ until now,” Aug. 17). So, in this particular sale a written offer was not made in time, but it would have been for $30,000 and would’ve taken what […]

People should vote Ed Rabasco for district attorney. Ed was born and raised in this community. He is experienced in the criminal justice system. He is looking to change what is not working.

Margaret Craven is the right candidate at the right time to be re-elected to the Maine House of Representatives. Her experience and leadership in Augusta is unparalled. Margaret works hard for her constituents and the city of Lewiston, which she loves. Recently, a member of my family was diagnosed with a serious illness. It threw […]

I am thrilled to support Bettyann Sheats for state senator, representing District 20: Auburn, Poland, New Gloucester, and Durham. Her openness to discussion with constituents and fellow legislators who hold diverse views, her optimism that citizen legislators can make a difference for good, her years of dedication to community service, and her experience as a […]
