State referendum Question 3 reads: “Do you favor a $10,000,000 bond issue to restore historic buildings owned by governmental and nonprofit organizations, with funds being issued contingent on a 25% local match requirement from either private or nonprofit sources?” As a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit Poland Spring Preservation Society, I […]

I’m supporting U.S. Rep. Jared Golden for Congress. Rep. Austin Theriault promises he will put “people over politics,” but he voted against family leave, raising the minimum wage, and favored a “right to work” bill that would weaken labor unions. So what people is he talking about? He has made a big deal of $50,000 […]

Over 40 years ago, in Marine Corps boot camp, I swore an oath that doesn’t expire. To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I still, enthusiastically, honor that oath today. The only candidate for state representative of Auburn and Minot who deserves my vote is Laurel […]

The election of our next president is coming up. We have to choose between a deranged, scowling madman or a well-educated, considerate woman who has our best interest at the forefront.

Gun violence has now been designated as a public health emergency. When one adds up the numbers of self-inflicted and all other gun-related deaths, this more than qualifies as a public health emergency. Since violence in America knows no bounds, every one of us needs to think in terms of survival. The Second Amendment folks […]

Donald Trump knew he lost. In addition to being told this by dozens of his aides, advisors and White House lawyers, 62 separate state and federal judges, some of whom he had appointed himself, had also informed him that he was, in fact, a loser. And yet, on Jan. 6, 2021, he energized a mob […]
