I am going to vote “yes” on Question 1 — the universal home care initiative on the ballot next month — for a lot of reasons, the simplest of which is that I might, some day, need the help myself. I am already a senior citizen, and since my wife’s death last year, pretty much […]

A great ambassador for Lewiston
Melissa Simones Landry would be a great Androscoggin County commissioner. She would be thoughtful in her approach to issues facing the county, and she would be a great ambassador for Lewiston. Simones Landry was raised here, she loves the positive things happening here and she believes that the future is even brighter. She exudes integrity […]

We need universal home care
I hope that the voters of Maine will join me in favor of passage of Question 1. I am disabled and so it my partner. We live in a motel because we can’t find affordable housing in Lewiston. We have been there for two years. When I was 16, I suffered a traumatic brain injury […]

Join me in voting 'yes' on Queston 1
I am supporting Question 1 in November. I believe that all Maine senior citizens and disabled people should have access to quality home care services; no one should be forced into assisted living when they only need a little help around the house. I am disabled myself. I was abandoned when I was a baby […]

Janet Mills personifies Maine
I met Janet Mills 45 years ago. I’ve danced at her wedding, shared her grief after we both lost our husbands and admired her as she has worked hard to make Maine a better place for all. She personifies Maine. There is no pretense; no hidden agenda. What you see is what you get. She […]

Golden rates F- on taxpayer support
I’m confused. Is Jared Golden running for Congress or commandant of the Marine Corps? Former Democrat, now Republican, Sen. Tom Saviello joyfully related how Golden works across the aisle. Apparently this trait did not extend to Lewiston city staff and mayor. Golden and the rest of Lewiston’s state legislators voted against all city welfare bills, […]

Collins' decision not surprising
I am very disappointed in Sen. Susan Collins’ choice to support Brett Kavanaugh. I am beyond disappointed with her attempts to justify her decision. The senator said that she decided that Christine Blasey Ford was credible, but must be mistaken in who assaulted her. The senator chose to believe a man who has every reason […]

Tiffany Bond best serves Maine
The voters in District 2 have a chance to make a change: • Change from a candidate beholden to big money donors. • Change from a candidate who best serves Maine in the state house. • Change to a candidate who takes no money for her campaign; who supports local businesses. On Nov. 6, voters […]

Cloutier wants every voice to be heard
On Election Day, voters in House District 60 have the opportunity to elect Kristen Cloutier to be their next state representative. Cloutier has been an extraordinary leader in Lewiston for many years and residents are so lucky that she is running to represent them in Augusta. When I served on the Lewiston City Council, I […]

Power line would destroy beauty
This summer, I was able to go with my family for the first time whitewater rafting on the Kennebec River. When we were on the calm part of the river, that is where I learned about the Central Maine Power corridor. It broke my heart to find out that people would destroy Maine’s natural beauty. […]
