The violent language used by the Maine legislators regarding Planned Parenthood (guest column, Sept. 27) is deeply disturbing, apart from the unfounded accusations. Their references to “butchering of unborn babies,” “harvesting from baby bodies,” and “murder” demonizes everyone with another view. I place very high value on the lives of those human beings who have […]

Who gets the most money?
I might like the proposal of Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald (Sun Journal, Sept. 25) if the full measure is taken in publicizing where all the tax money goes. Perhaps, create a list of all beneficiaries of redistributed taxes, including state and federal money. Then, scale the font to the relative size of each recipient’s share. […]

Rest in peace, Yogi
On Sept. 22, America lost a national treasure, Yogi Berra. A five-foot, seven-inch tall giant. A man who epitomized the greatness of America and America’s greatest generation. He was an enigmatic character whose grasp of simple logic made scholars and leaders around the world simultaneously shake their heads in utter amazement and nod them in […]

Hutchinson dedicated to all students
I am writing in support of Tina Hutchinson for Lewiston School Committee from Ward 7. As her daughter, I can attest to her dedication to all students and doing what is best for them. When my brother was in Head Start, she was a member of the policy council. She reached out to parents and […]

LaBonte will fight for Auburn
I am proud to call Jonathan LaBonte my friend and mayor. From our conversations about policy, to his passion for Auburn’s heritage (as with his contributions to the effort to save the St. Louis parish bells), to his zeal for innovation, efficiency and accountability, I have seen how he honors Auburn’s past while leading toward […]

Think carefully before speaking
I had vowed to keep my silence, but Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald’s outrageous attacks against the needy have forced me to speak out (Sun Journal, Sept. 25). Why the vitriol? Why the abject ignorance of the facts? Did Macdonald not take a couple of hours from his busy invectives to embrace what Pope Francis has […]

Mayor should be top authority
When Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald tries to do good for the taxpayers of Lewiston, other politicians try to handcuff him. I think the mayor of a city should be the most powerful figure. From what I have seen of the Lewiston City Council, with few exceptions, they do not have the taxpayers’ best interests in […]

Vote for local man, Michael Lachance
I am writing in support of the re-election of Lewiston City Councilor Michael Lachance, Ward 7. I was born and raised in Lewiston and, after living away for 20 years, returned to a very different Lewiston. I met Lachance two years ago while he was campaigning in my neighborhood. He is a very nice man […]

No shame in needing help
Lewiston’s Mayor Robert Macdonald has a great idea (Sun Journal, Sept. 25). No one is trying to “shame” welfare recipients who truly need help. But “shame” is the way opposition will try to kill this public list of welfare recipients. Maine taxpayers are sick and tired of carrying the lazy and system players using welfare […]

The destruction of the U.S.
As I write, this country is in a critical downward spiral. The people in this country need to listen to the debates and three major programs on Fox News that talk about what is going on in the world that everyone needs to be concerned about. Civil unrest is going on right now and it […]
