In response to the letter from Ellen Field on “retroactive laws” in the Sun Journal on Oct. 16, she’s just wrong on the facts, as are the advertisements from “Mainers for Fair Laws” that have been filling our mailboxes and air waves. Title 1, Chapter 11, Section 302 of the Maine Revised Statutes has long […]

I write to share with the Lewiston community my experience with Megan Parks. I have rarely met someone so passionately committed to their community. I met Megan at the beginning of the pandemic last year when we worked together to open an emergency shelter for the homeless community in Lewiston. What I learned about Megan […]

Carl Sheline is the community-minded, forward-thinker that Lewiston needs. He is a great listener who always takes the time to ask how business is going, and really hears the response. I have always appreciated his commitment to our community and his support of our local businesses. I believe the city of Lewiston would be in […]

As a former school committee member and as the city councilor who served as the school committee representative, I can say without any hesitation that Leigh Albert is very qualified to serve Ward 6 on the committee. She has dedicated her career to education and would pass that knowledge and dedication for the betterment of […]

As a former scientist and recently former health care worker I am very concerned. No. Scared. Directives — not required by the state — have been enforced at the local level due to stipulations pertaining to new federal grant funds our school administrators have applied for.

I ask Auburn residents, isn’t it time that we elect a city councilor who has kids in the schools, volunteers as a coach, and knows what’s at stake for Auburn? Ryan Hawes is all this, and a vice president of a credit union, too. I wonder how could we go wrong with someone who would […]

Megan Parks, who is running for reelection to the Lewiston School Committee, is dedicated to the city more than anybody I have crossed paths with over the years. Her passion to work with homelessness and people in need speaks volumes about her character. She goes above and beyond and is always willing to help when […]

Texas and Florida-based oil and gas companies NextEra, Calpine and Vistra purchased Question 1. Ninety-five percent of funding opposing the clean energy corridor comes from these companies. They invested millions into signature gathering efforts. Big oil and gas companies are using Mainers as pawns in their game of chess to keep polluting while protecting their […]

The Sun Journal’s Oct. 17 article, “‘Nightmare scenarios’: Emergency medical responders contend with vaccine mandates,” failed to point out the obvious. First responders deal closely and directly with the general public. The COVID delta variant is extremely contagious and sometimes deadly. Vaccines are proven to greatly prevent the spread of COVID and the chances of severe […]
