Mayor Jason Levesque has, among his magic tricks, a hat filled with cliches. One of his favorites is NIMBY — not in my backyard — which is used to guilt-trip Auburn citizens. This tired and old acronym has nothing to do with how the petition signers feel. The petition signers I have met reject the […]

When writing this letter in support of Kristen Cloutier, I thought back to my time serving with her. As council president and mayor of Lewiston, I worked closely with her on many issues. Kristen has served Lewiston in Augusta since 2018. Her most recent term in office exemplified the need for both parties to work […]

I have the privilege to write this candidate endorsement for Liz Caruso. Liz is a conservative running for the U.S. Congress. She is a patriot, a grass roots candidate who loves people and loves to serve. She believes in God, our U.S. republic, and our U.S. Constitution. Liz is passionate about America First values such […]

I strongly urge voters to support Peggy Rotundo, who is running for the Lewiston State Senate seat (District 21) formerly held by Nate Libby. We are very lucky to have such an able woman running for this position in our community. Peggy listens. She hears what people are saying who have many different points of […]

The Sun Journal’s front page April 28 headline read “Latest petition seeks to repeal Lake Auburn boundary rezoning.” This article was extremely important and helpful for your readers. It alerted voters about the petition drive. All registered voters in Auburn need to be ready for petition circulators to contact them for their support by signing […]

Thanks for your Apr. 27 article highlighting the importance of Maine’s new free community college opportunity. Our community colleges and universities are fundamental building blocks in preparing Maine’s workforce for both today’s jobs, and the jobs of the future. Post-secondary training and education is a key strategy for how to address our pressing workforce shortage, […]

I am very concerned about what is going on in Auburn lately regarding the city’s intention to build so close to the watershed. I have family and friends in the Twin Cities, and their water quality is life sustaining. We cannot live without healthy water. I hope that the good people of Lewiston and Auburn […]
