I hope voters pass the universal home care initiative on the ballot in November. It would have made a tremendous difference in the life of my family some years ago. For several years, my wife was ill at the end of her life. I was her primary caregiver, taking care of her daily needs. At […]

Jared Golden; it's that simple
Mitch McConnell recently went on television and stated plainly that if Republicans keep control of Congress, they will use the $2 trillion cost of their tax handout to the wealthy as an excuse to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. There is only one thing that can prevent McConnell’s plan from becoming a reality, and […]

People can trust Angus King
I hope others will join me in voting for Angus King for the U.S. Senate on Nov. 6. As an independent, he can bridge the gap between the parties to get something done. He has supporters in both parties. He is respected as a moderate, self-made successful small businessman with integrity and vision. As a […]

Question 1 isn't the answer
I have been a home health care aide for four years. The people’s referendum on the ballot Nov. 6 is for “universal home health care.” As a home health care aide, I find the need to voice why I disagree with Question 1. Question 1 proposes to allow access to home health care to more […]

Janet Mills — a proven leader
In 2010, independent candidate Elliott Cutler split the Democratic vote and Maine ended up with a belligerent governor, elected by less than 40 percent of voters. He has consistently embarrassed the state, ignored referendum results and fought against affordable health care. I am concerned about history repeating itself this year. Remember — Ranked-choice voting is […]

He is opposed to tax cuts for the wealthy and the defunding of Social […]

Families must take responsibility
I believe that too much money is spent on education and in the wrong way. Buses go by my house all year, days and evenings. Schools were made to educate children, not cart them to every sporting event. We carted our kids and shared rides to events with our neighbors. We fed our children during […]

Brian Carrier is a man of his word
I am honored to highly recommend Brian Carrier, capable candidate for state representative to central and southern Auburn. I met Carrier more than a year ago and immediately recognized leadership qualities sorely needed by constituents at this time. I encourage him to get into public service. He accepted my challenge to seek the specific position. […]

Coolidge approaches life positively
Eight months ago, all I knew about Misty Coolidge, Democratic candidate for state representative District 65, was that she owned the wedding barn with the cool fence on Route 100. Now, I know Coolidge is the rare person whose instinct is to work with people for the benefit of all. Owner of six properties and […]

Health insurance needs improvements
The candidates for federal and state offices all talk about the cost of medical insurance and health care. All appear in favor of lowering the costs; however, there are two aspects of the Republicans’ claims that are disingenuous. They have proposed outright repeal of the Affordable Care Act and have been slowly gutting it by […]
