Well, now I know why there are so few Joe Biden signs in our area. My husband and I put out two signs. The one in North Waterford was gone by morning; the one in front of our camp in Stoneham lasted almost a week before it was stolen. We hear a great deal these […]

Tina Riley has been a godsend as our local representative (District 74). She is not a career politician, nor will she ever be. She works tirelessly for her people, yet always has a smile and time to chat when you see her. I have contacted her on a couple of hot topics, and she has […]

My name is Dash Padham, and I own and manage a number of apartment buildings in the Bates College area. We were fortunate to be represented by Jared Golden, and fortunate again to have Kristen Cloutier fill his seat (House District 60). She has worked tirelessly for the residents of Lewiston and deserves our support […]

A recent writer questioned whether Bettyann Sheats supported veterans. Her support is very clear and demonstrated by action rather than talk. Bettyann has worked to expand access to Veterans Administration health care for retired and moderate income veterans. She has worked individually helping veterans qualify for assistance. She is an active member of the Maine […]

Hasn’t that supporter  heard of individual sacrifice for the greater good, such as was done in World War II and is needed now? That’s why […]

Why pay bills? Everybody needs money to support themselves, families, businesses to buy materials and supplies and pay workers. Refusing to pay bills will cause the economy to go under. It has been predicted “America will become the poorest nation on earth.” We find money for alcohol, cigarettes, illicit drugs, etc., so why not use […]

Have you seen the people driving their cars around while wearing a mask? It is scientifically impossible for corona virus droplets to come out of thin air and travel through your vehicles ventilation system to somehow get into your lungs. It is spread person to person like all viruses. Yes, we need to take precautions, […]

On Nov. 3 I’ll be casting my vote for Matt Leonard in the race for state Senate District 20. Matt served in the U.S. Navy from 1994-2015 and earned a master;s degree from George Washington University in 2013. In many conversations with him, I’ve seen a passion for the issues Mainers face every day. His […]
