It will be a refreshing shift in Lewiston politics if candidate Ben Chin is elected mayor. I have had the honor of reading his research and listening to him speak. He does his homework whenever he presents his thoughts and plans for the great city of Lewiston. I do believe he speaks on behalf of […]

F. Wing: Using the Confederate flag
I don’t understand the controversy about flying the Confederate flag. People are going way overboard about it. Some people look at it as part of their heritage and history. Those people should have the right to fly that flag from their house or front lawn. Other people feel the Confederate flag represents the fight about […]

H. Lord: Ultimate justice still to come
Five Supreme Court justices have issued a tragic and unconstitutional decision in an attempt to legitimize so-called gay marriage. What arrogance. And what recklessness. They have obviously forgotten the one who is the supreme judge of the world. They obviously do not attach much importance to the Declaration of Independence. True Americans give special honor […]

W. Sullivan: Blame it on affirmative action
This is in response to Michael Nadeau’s response (July 8) to my letter, “Obituary for America” (July 3). I thank Nadeau for respecting my First Amendment rights. I do not support any form of discrimination. That includes the type of discrimination that I believe launched Barack Obama on his meteoric rise through academia. It is […]

J. Jamison: Interested and engaged
As some Paris residents may already know, a runoff election is being held on July 23. Absentee ballots are available at the Town Office. I am endorsing Mike Risica for Paris selectman. He has served on the Budget Committee and is a member of the Planning Board. He is a frequent face at selectmen’s meetings […]

R. Lacombe: U.S. ready to slide downhill
The United States doesn’t need another President Obama. Instead, the country should elect a candidate that will realize the need to bring God back in America, which would put an end to political dishonesty. Otherwise it will be very difficult to successfully regain America’s prosperity. The need to bring God back to America to hamper political […]

E. Bastian: Support the will of the people
I have to thank Sen. Eric Brakey for supporting LD 1378. The governor vetoed the bill and I hope that Brakey and Rep. Ellie Espling will override that veto. Gov. Paul LePage is holding the Lands for Maine’s Future bonds hostage as a political bargaining chip, putting 30 projects at risk. The Legislature voted, by […]

P. Caron: LePage is abusing his power
A couple months ago, Gov. Paul LePage stood with a bunch of bikers and yelled out that he would not stand for abusive or bullying behavior. Perhaps that means that LePage is the only one who can bully, abuse and blackmail. I have heard that he cannot be impeached because, as governor, he has immunity. […]

A. Girouard: Small raise was an insult
This is in response to a Sun Journal story, “Truck driver to get 2 percent raise” (June 30). I feel foolish writing about it, almost as foolish as the Sun Journal must have felt writing the story and even more foolish than the Livermore Board of Select Persons for discussing giving a loyal, hard-working driver […]

J. Mansur: America will not die
This is in response to William Sullivan’s letter (July 3). To paraphrase Mark Twain, America’s demise is greatly exaggerated. On Inauguration Day 2009, President Barack Obama was installed according to the will of the people, then he was re-elected in 2012 by a majority of voters and Electoral College votes. Sullivan is welcome to his […]
