Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonte deserves another term. He is a young man with wisdom beyond his years and has core beliefs that will serve Auburn citizens well.

LaBonte works to solidify community
In today’s climate, politicians create ideas that attempt to separate municipalities, not bring them together. I am proud that my city’s mayor, Jonathan LaBonte, does not fall into that category.

Common sense needed with guns
“Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” I am tired of that old saw. People don’t kill people by spitting on them. There are other means, but they are less effective and immediate.

Once he graduated from the University of Maine, he could have joined his fellow graduates and found work in some other state, but he chose to return to Auburn to work […]

Care was, in fact, taken with toddler
This is in response to the front page article (Oct. 7) written about Poland toddler Colton Guay, who died because of E. coli. I am a relative of Guay and I watched that horrible episode unfold from the beginning. I take offense at the article printed that states throughout the importance of being vigilant in […]
