Chin will bring positive change
The city of Lewiston is at an important crossroad. Voters can decide to take the high road or the low road. Take the high road to promote economic prosperity for all, or the low road. I have had enough with all the negative rhetoric about our residents. Local taxes pay to run the city government, […]

Chin not ready to lead Lewiston
The mayoral debate made one thing very clear — Ben Chin is not ready to lead. On numerous occasions, Chin asked questions of Mayor Robert Macdonald that showed a total lack of understanding how government works. Time and again Macdonald needed to explain who is responsible for budgets and laws and, in each case, the […]

Shame on the voting public
Lewiston residents should wake up. Results listed for the mayoral race had Ben Chin receiving 3,673 votes and Robert Macdonald receiving 3,107 votes. The U.S. Census Bureau lists Lewiston having a population of 36,299 in 2010, with 22.1 percent under the age of 18. That leaves a voting population of 28,236 — far from the […]

Kittridge will bring balance to Council
Kristine Kittridge is running for Lewiston city councilor, Ward 7. She has been following what is going on with the City Council, especially in Ward 7. Having talked to many residents of Lewiston, she is very sensitive about property tax increases. Paid trash bags are a no-no for many residents, but they are willing to […]

Cloutier promotes Lewiston

As an elected official, Cloutier has continued to engage deeply in this community. She has supported responsible development through her leadership and vision on the Lewiston City […]

Macdonald-Lachance the best team
I think Lewiston needs people willing to represent their constituents, not the views of their jobs. The city needs candidates who are willing to take what has been a welfare town, a safe place for people to come to get assistance without having to work, and make a change for the better. It is time […]

Macdonald, Lachance needed
Mayor Robert Macdonald and Councilor Michael Lachance are the best thing to happen to Lewiston in a long time. Neither has a personal agenda and only works in the best interest of their constituents. They are always available and willing to assist no matter what the issue. What is best for everyone is their only […]
