I own a business on Mount Vernon Avenue in Augusta.

Last year, before the reconstruction began, Pat Paradis, my Ward 3 councilor, arranged for the Maine Transportation Department and the Greater Augusta Utility District to meet with the residents and business owners so that they could explain the scope of the project to us. We met twice; once at City Hall and later on-site. These meetings were very helpful. We understood the project better.

Paradis went the extra mile for us. He cared about our homes and our businesses. Pat earned my vote. I will gladly support him for Kennebec County commissioner on June 14.
