To me, voting for the right person for mayor is all about character. We need a person who can look at the bigger picture of our community. We need someone who needs to be concerned about the diverse views of everyone regardless of status. We don’t need someone who either merely listens to individuals who […]

Carl Sheline has shown up again and again for Lewiston, throughout his first term as mayor. He manages to make himself available for almost every community event there is, championing our city and its hardworking citizens. He’s always very accessible, willing to discuss any subject with any constituent at any time. If people take a […]

A few days ago, I contacted the Lewiston Police Department concerning the many speeding vehicles on my road (I live on the Old Greene Road, the Sabattus Street end). The McMahon Elementary School is less than one mile away. Already I have noticed police cars in the area. I appreciate the quick response of the […]

I would not be excited about inexperienced people running Central Maine Power, but I am not sure it could be worse than it is now. My greatest concern is that CMP is owned by a Spanish company. Spain has never been a close friend of the United States, and if the world descends into a […]

On the left, we have a president who is clearly edging into senility. More than once he has lost his train of thought in public and stumbled and fallen on other occasions. On top of that, the financial shenanigans of his son from five or six years ago, while his father was vice president, are […]

In the half-century I have lived in Auburn I have known many mayors. A few years ago, when one of our neighbors called to ask me to write in John Jenkins for mayor, I asked him why.  His answer: “Because I know I can trust John.” Until yesterday, no candidate for mayor ever took the […]

It is with enthusiasm that I endorse Auburn mayoral candidate Jeff Harmon, who possesses experience-based understanding of how our city operates and what Auburn truly needs to thrive. His attentive listening and thoughtful reflection set him apart as a candidate who genuinely values the voices of our community. Moreover, his ability to communicate respectfully with […]

If there was ever one of my letters to the editor I could take back, it would be the one I wrote in support of Jason Levesque before he defeated Adam Lee in 2017 by a handful of votes. In retrospect I now think that Adam would have been a more effective and citizen-oriented mayor […]

Robert Reed’s rebuttal published Aug. 26 really drove home the issues of a runaway economy that we Americans face today with no relief in sight. I thought it was a well written piece; he used great examples of what so many Americans are facing today. However, he forgot to mention anything about the last four […]

Here we go again with Cal Thomas, aided inadvertently by the Sun Journal. In his column published Sept. 6 (“More climate fiction“), Cal promotes, as usual, the canard that there should be no concern about the “false narrative of ‘climate change.’” And as usual there is no mention of the background of the “Climate Intelligence […]
