I have known Jason Levesque for many years and know him to be a man of his word. He always seeks others’ opinions and checks his facts before embracing either side of an issue. 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
With a sea of “Vote Yes On 1” signs engulfing the highways, I say vote “no.” Against the sole recipient of a gaming license so one person can make a lot of money, perhaps as much as $150 million, for his sole benefit, I say vote “no.” Against the referendum circulators getting paid $7 to […]

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 […]

Bouchard the best candidate
I am voting for Shane Bouchard for mayor of Lewiston. He has the experience of currently serving Lewiston as the Ward 4 city councilor, and I always know where he stands on issues. Bouchard has no problem with tackling difficult situations and making tough decisions. He opposes the Lewiston-Auburn merger and is ready to work […]

Chin has a vision and a plan
There is nothing wrong with people being asked to work in exchange for public assistance. It is well known that when a person has a meaningful job, he or she can rise out of his or her own situation while benefitting the public good and the community. The offshoots of that are higher self-esteem, learning […]

Ben Chin just does what's right
In this day and age, the public needs leaders who aren’t afraid to say what they mean and do what they say. It takes courage to speak from the heart, especially when what they have to say may upset the status quo and the political establishment. Even when I don’t agree with him fully, I […]
