Mike Seavey: Faith communities must stand with working people

Faith communities and faith leaders have courageously stood with Maine families during these past years of COVID pandemic. We need Maine faith communities to walk with Maine workers in recognizing workers’ rights and once again making economics a centerpiece of a moral horizon.

Claire Gravel: Weigh fact vs. fiction amid political ads

Here we go again. Negative political ads streaming everywhere. Before people believe what they see, hear or read, they should ask themselves if it is real or false. Definition of real: actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact, not imagined or supposed, tangible, factual, historical and finally, truthful. Definition of false: not according […]

Katie Greeley: McLean offers integrity, compassion as tri-county DA

I write in enthusiastic support of Neil McLean, district attorney candidate for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties. I’ve spent many years working with victims/survivors of crime as a victim witness advocate, and I’ve had the privilege of working on many cases with Neil. He has the unique ability to speak to victims with sensitivity because […]

Larry Gilbert Sr.: Auburn mayor should listen to citizens on lake development

In rebuttal: Dan Bilodeau: A different perspective on ‘land grab’ claim

Mary Ann Norcross seems to forget Auburn Water District superintendents offered an average of $1,000 per acre using the “land grab” septic ordinance (“No ‘land grab scheme’ until now,” Aug. 17). So, in this particular sale a written offer was not made in time, but it would have been for $30,000 and would’ve taken what […]

Shanna Breton: Vote Rabasco for tri-county district attorney

People should vote Ed Rabasco for district attorney. Ed was born and raised in this community. He is experienced in the criminal justice system. He is looking to change what is not working. We spend millions of dollars on a criminal justice system that produces the same results year after year. The taxpayer is never […]
