The Aug. 16 meeting of the Lewiston City Council, as shown on the city’s YouTube channel (3:29:51), has comments by Councilor Bob McCarthy indicating the Aug. 14 Sun Journal article, “Auburn-Lewiston airport construction leaves pilots and management at odds,” was inaccurate and the paper didn’t do its research. After discussing the article with all those […]

Here we go again. Negative political ads streaming everywhere. Before people believe what they see, hear or read, they should ask themselves if it is real or false. Definition of real: actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact, not imagined or supposed, tangible, factual, historical and finally, truthful. Definition of false: not according […]

I write in enthusiastic support of Neil McLean, district attorney candidate for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties. I’ve spent many years working with victims/survivors of crime as a victim witness advocate, and I’ve had the privilege of working on many cases with Neil. He has the unique ability to speak to victims with sensitivity because […]

I’ve been reading in the Sun Journal how residents of both Lewiston and Auburn testified at Auburn City Council and other board meetings, telling Mayor Jason Levesque and his minions to quash such a ridiculous idea of rezoning the land adjacent to Lake Auburn and potentially contaminating the drinking water for the Twin Cities. But […]

I am writing to encourage my neighbors to join me in supporting Jon Connor for re-election to the Maine House District 96 (formerly House District 58). I have lived in Lewiston for 16 years and, like Jon, I care about our city and the people who call it home. He’s brought his commitment to both […]

Mary Ann Norcross seems to forget Auburn Water District superintendents offered an average of $1,000 per acre using the “land grab” septic ordinance (“No ‘land grab scheme’ until now,” Aug. 17). So, in this particular sale a written offer was not made in time, but it would have been for $30,000 and would’ve taken what […]

People should vote Ed Rabasco for district attorney. Ed was born and raised in this community. He is experienced in the criminal justice system. He is looking to change what is not working. We spend millions of dollars on a criminal justice system that produces the same results year after year. The taxpayer is never […]

I’ve never thought that politics mattered. I thought that what happened in Augusta didn’t directly affect me. But the last few years have taught me that I was wrong. Which leads to the question, what type of person do I want in Augusta? I want someone who is practical and down-to-earth, and who cares about […]

I support Ed Rabasco for district attorney for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties. I have known Ed for most of his life. He has the highest integrity. He is a very experienced attorney who is ideal for the job. He wants to change how veterans are treated in the criminal justice system. Veterans have unique […]

State Sen. Lisa Keim’s inflammatory remarks about her school system are an unfortunate sign of the times (“Dixfield-based school board bans gender book from Dirigo library,” Aug. 10). Strong feelings about local issues are expected, but throwing her school system under the bus with such extreme language is counterproductive, divisive, and disrespectful to our teachers. […]
