In his letter to the editor (Aug. 19), Glenn Chateauvert confuses journalism and opinion. Of course, letters and columns are biased, because they are opinions. The Sun Journal publishes opinions on all sides in the appropriate section. Good journalists present as much of a story as they can find and it might take several days […]

Those include: Worshiping as we see fit without interference; freedom to responsibly possess a firearm; freedom to use property for any purpose; freedom to put into our bodies the foods and medicines we choose; and others. Those freedoms and other social […]

Kristen Cloutier needed in Augusta
It’s not often that I get excited about voting for a candidate, but I can’t wait to cast my vote for Kristen Cloutier to represent me and District 60 here in Lewiston. Cloutier is exactly the person needed in Augusta right now. She is smart, she is dedicated and she tells it like it is. […]
