Not since Ed Muskie and Bill Cohen have Maine voters had the unique opportunity to send a candidate to Washington, D.C., with the integrity and leadership qualities of Jared Golden. Golden is hard-working, down-to-Earth and a true Mainer, wishing to serve every citizen in the state of Maine. He knows the needs of Maine’s people […]

Getting to know Doretta Colburn
Living in the country and appreciating my privacy, I get annoyed when strange people come in my driveway. I always ask myself, now what are they peddling — religion, products or politics? It happened to me recently when I came out from my wood lot and found an unknown car in my driveway, and my […]

Support for Question 1
I have been working in the home care field for more than 30 years now. The pay for home care workers is low. The attention and care needed by people with disabilities and seniors from the home care services are not always enough. Question 1 will allow home care recipients to live decent lives in […]

CMP service minimized
CMP needs to get back into the service industry before we are all literally left in the dark! Central Maine Power’s service and line departments have been so minimized that trying to get appointments are months in the future versus days or a week. Being a self-employed electrician for more than 40years, I have never […]

Put Maine seniors, veterans first
I am supporting the citizens’ initiative on universal home care in November, and I hope the voters of Maine will join me in voting Yes on Question 1. I think it makes common sense to make sure that elders, veterans and disabled folks can stay in their homes. No one wants to live in a […]

Stay at home as long as possible

When I had a surgery and was recovering, some people tried to get me to go to a nursing home […]

I had the privilege of serving with Andrews on the Paris Revitalization Committee during my time as interim town manager for Paris in 2016. He was […]

Give Mainers a better choice
American health care requires significant improvement. Countless individuals and families in need either do not have the money or the access to resources to meet their medical needs. Question 1 in November, a universal home care-for-all initiative, would be a logical step in the right direction for the elderly, folks with disabilities and for many […]

In-home services would help
I hope that the voters of Maine will join me in voting for Question 1, the universal home care initiative. Myself, I have some serious health issues. I have Marfan Syndrome — a connective tissue disorder. It has caused me to suffer multiple joint dislocations; it affects all the organs in the body but mostly […]

Confidence in Russell Black
In my 79 years, I have written one “Letter To The Editor.” My second is to impart my support for Russell Black of Wilton for the Senate District 17 seat in the Maine Legislature in the upcoming election. I have known Black for quite some time and have had complete faith in his role as […]
