I’m writing about the presidential debate, and what has been going on. Kamala Harris says too many simplistic lines that are supposed to sound good and satisfy people, but they solve absolutely nothing. The proof is the open border, high cost of living, giving billions of dollars to foreign countries hand over fist and not […]

Bizarre news that is generally true is sought and covered by the media. So be it. Donald Trump concocts bizarre news, but it is generally false. This is ridiculous. This nonsense should be relegated to a distant corner. We’re tired of it. Norm Gellatly, Auburn

I’m writing in support of Joan Beal in her run to become representative in the Maine House for our District 81. I couldn’t be happier with her experience and dedication to the issues she would work on. Joan has been very active in making our communities strong and healthy. She is truly rooted in community.

Donald Trump claims to have a “concept of a plan” for health care. However, the Project 2025 document written by his associates provides some detail. It suggests “Remov(ing) barriers to direct primary care … [whereby] doctors contract directly with patients for their care on a subscription basis …” An insurance-avoiding relationship with people’s doctor’s office […]

I’m writing in favor of Charlotte Nutt to be my state representative. Charlotte is an independent candidate for House District 79, the towns of Paris, Sumner, West Paris, and Woodstock. She chose to be an independent because she is determined to serve everyone. Beginning in March, she started going door-to-door to introduce herself. She went […]

I know firsthand the strength, dedication and caring it takes to do both of those jobs, and the moment I meant Joan I recognized […]

Bruce would be a great senator for District 19 (towns in Oxford County include: Albany, Andover, Bethel, Buckfield, Byron, Canton, Dixfield, Gilead, Greenwood, Hanover, […]

On Sept. 10 it became obvious Donald Trump is failing mentally. He told his usual lies, but they were pitiful. He claimed verification from the “Faux” news crew, who recently cost their network over $700 million by lying about the 2020 election. That is not what one might call a “ringing endorsement.” Nor would I […]

Regional School Unit 16 voters will be voting on a third budget proposal on Tuesday, Sept. 17. According to the Maine Department of Education’s website, the most recent data (2022-23) states that the average per pupil costs in Maine was $17,654.00. RSU 16’s was $14,442.00, well below the state average and below many neighboring districts. […]

Auburn residents by now have received their tax bill. Did they go into sticker shock? How many of them thought they still had a senior property tax freeze? Guess again. The senior tax freeze lasted one year, and then Democrats in Augusta voted to take their tax break away. The Democrats also voted to take […]
