As many people know, Veterans Day was established to honor all veterans of all wars. We also thank living men and women who served during peacetime. This Veterans Day, the city of Lewiston should be […]

Merger provides opportunity
I chose to move back to Maine for personal reasons, but I choose to continue to live in this community because I am invested in the future of my neighbors, my coworkers, and my friends. I believe in One LA because I believe in the potential of this community. People here have the courage to […]

No benefits to merging Twin Cities
I am a lifelong resident of Auburn. I believe Auburn has been making good progress in recent years. I simply do not see where consolidating with Lewiston will benefit the current residents of Auburn. I am especially concerned about the future of Auburn’s school system. As I understand it, if there is a consolidation, there […]

Consolidation totally ridiculous
I have watched all of the debates and read all of the articles concerning the proposed consolidation of Lewiston and Auburn. I still do not understand the urgency behind this project. Where did all of the money and screaming headlines come from? Just a few short months ago, nobody was talking about the consolidation (merger) […]

Those who cannot or will not see that need to look into their hearts. “The land of the free and the home of the brave” […]

With the merger proposal, he has reviewed both sides of the issue and understands that both cities can accomplish all of […]

Vote 'no' on Question 1

Ben Chin is the mayoral candidate who has created a plan to make Lewiston a better city. His plan will fight the drug epidemic by making sure that no one would wait more than a week for treatment. Instead of traditional welfare, the Rebuild Lewiston Job Corp project will offer citizens public work in exchange […]

Reasons to consolidate are clear
We moved to the Lewiston-Auburn area almost 40 years ago and fell in love with our community and the great people who live here. Through the years, both of us have invested ourselves and our resources in dozens of community organizations that are the backbone of a strong community. L-A residents are hardworking, caring friends […]

A chance to impact the future
On Nov. 7, I plan to vote in favor of the merger of Lewiston and Auburn. The three major goals of better economic opportunities, better schools and improved public safety are positive and achievable goals. The cities are better together. I hope the public will take the time to get educated and informed; that people […]
