I want to express my wholehearted endorsement of Jon Connor’s candidacy for mayor in Lewiston. Our city’s economic growth is essential for the well-being of our residents, and Jon’s plans to attract businesses and create jobs are promising steps in the right direction. As someone who believes in the power of a thriving local economy, […]

Over 3 million pregnancies are unintended in America each year. How can one call it a mistake when people are only being fruitful and multiplying? For we are commanded from Day One to do exactly what we are doing. Whether it was intended or not, lives don’t just happen willy nilly, they are created from […]

Dana Staples is running for an at-large seat on the Auburn City Council. He is looking to continue his steadfast and genuine commitment to Auburn citizens. I am writing to support Dana having the opportunity to continue to lead Auburn with his outstanding character and integrity. I have known Dana for close to 20 years […]

Donald Trump’s not going through anything for anyone but himself. He’s not protecting anyone. It’s his own fault for not obeying the law which is America’s Constitution. He wants to terminate the Constitution he vowed to defend if elected president again. He claims the legal system holding him accountable will stop his followers from being […]

Since the dam was constructed numerous environmental problems have been identified, but never solved. The dam imposes a […]

Do we believe in fairy dust? That facts don’t matter? Putting bureaucrats in control isn’t the answer to rising energy costs. Consumer-owed or government seized? Socialist Bernie Sanders issued a press release in July, saying “Power belongs in the hands of the people, not greedy corporations.” However, Pine Tree Power puts the grid in the […]

As a young resident of Auburn, I care about ensuring this is a safe, welcoming town for years to come. I will be voting for Stefanie Mahr Damien to be our next Ward 5 city councilor, because I know she would work hard to make this a reality. She demonstrates the stability and sensibility we […]

I write in rebuttal to Rich Lowry’s column (“Yes, Joe Biden is corrupt,” Sept 17). President Jimmy Carter negotiated the peace between Egypt and Israel, and had his negotiations with Iran undermined by the GOP so that the hostages were released at the same moment President Ronald Reagan took his oath of office. He was […]

I support Jeff Harmon for Auburn mayor for many reasons, but at the top of the list is his ability and willingness to listen and gain information from a variety of sources. During his campaign, I have had the pleasure of meeting with him twice to learn about his ideas, philosophies and areas of concern. […]
