G. Colby: Working hard for the people
I have known Eric Brakey for about three years. Brakey is a candidate for the Maine Senate and I consider the state fortunate to have him. He cares about people’s concerns, but even more, he cares about the Constitution and what it really says. He faithfully attends town meetings and meetings that are a concern […]

J. McCabe: Get real with welfare reform
Welfare fraud is simply unacceptable. That’s why Democrats have pushed Republicans to step up and prosecute rather than politicize the issue. In his June 17 letter, Eric Brakey seems unaware of how these issues played out in the legislative session. Republicans pushed policies they knew were not enforceable or would push struggling families further into […]
