As Peggy Rotundo retires this year, I hope that the voters in District 59 will vote for Melissa Stevens on June 14 to represent them. Just as Rotundo was, I have known Stevens to be a fierce advocate for the people in the city of Lewiston, particularly for the most vulnerable residents. Like me, Stevens […]

Fortunate to have Fuller

On June 14, Republicans will vote in the primary election for the candidate who will run in the general election for judge of probate for Oxford County.

First, they intend to put forth the same bloated school budget a second time — with no substantive changes — increasing residents’ already high taxes by 6 percent. Second, they wish voters to approve spending another $2.1 million, which will […]

Avoiding appearance of impropriety
Because I don’t know Edward (Ted) or Jennifer Dilworth, I am more than willing to assume the honesty of both. I am not questioning the ethics or the honesty of either. The Dilworths are both running for office and certainly they have the right to do that, and they are to be commended for their […]
