It’s a sad and pathetic day when the citizens of Lewiston are allowing two elected officials to control by intimidation and force the rest of the City Council. When they can do whatever they want without consequences — regardless of established laws. If they say it’s okay, then I suppose it is. I always thought […]

Lewiston residents who are tired of the ongoing corruption within the City Council should voice their displeasure and vote its members out of office. Ron and Kathy Jacques, Lewiston

Current Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline has for many years been a community-engaged business owner. He has admirably continued and broadened his concern for the community as an elected official, attending community events and regularly talking with a variety of people on the streets — he listens, and learns from them. Additionally, he works diligently with […]

I’m supporting David Chittim for the Ward 7 City Council seat in Lewiston. David is a retired engineer, has amazing attention to detail, and does his homework. David chairs the Historic Preservation Review Board, on which I serve, and am aware of his skills. David is courteous, thoughtful, smart, curious and articulate. He has donated […]

Generations of dedicated professionals and volunteers have protected our drinking water supply for good reason. Clean affordable water is a primary driver for attracting and keeping businesses and industries. Studies have shown that the region has no readily viable backup public water supply. In the last six years under Jason Levesque as Auburn’s mayor, I’ve […]

The men and woman of the Lewiston Firefighters Association are proud to endorse and ask for voters’ support for the reelection of Lee Clement to City Council Ward 6. Lee has been a steadfast supporter of public safety in his 45 years of public safety service. Public safety is a key and critical component of […]

I just have been informed that the Lewiston Housing Authority has no plans for a homeless shelter in the works. There has not been any information in the newspapers, even from any other agencies or Lewiston or Auburn civic leaders, about plans for a homeless shelter. I do not believe that the problem has disappeared […]

I agree with so many others who have supported Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline’s reelection campaign. They have all pointed out Sheline’s many qualities as mayor, his presence at numerous city events, his work to improve our city, his work with various groups and his defense of protecting Lake Auburn. A friend of mine referred to […]
