    Munson always helping the people of Augusta

    My wife Mona and I feel strongly that Cecil Munson should continue to represent us on the Augusta City Council. From the first day that he was elected six years ago, Cecil started helping our family with a very difficult neighborhood problem. It took years of appearing before the Planning Board and the City Council […]

    Mayo-Wescott has proven track record, vision, values

    Mary Mayo-Wescott has a proven track record with a vision and values that balance the needs of our neighbors against the need for proper growth that will provide much needed jobs and a vigorous economy for our city. I urge others to join me and vote for Mary for the Augusta City Council on Nov. […]

    Boy has questions about woolly bear caterpillars

    I am Danny. I am 9 years old. I really like woolly bear caterpillars because they are soft. There are thousands of them this year. Does anybody know why? Do their stripes really tell us if it’s going to be cold this winter? If anybody answers my questions, I thank you. Danny Taylor, third grade […]

    Route 139, Unity-Fairfield can be dangerous highway

    When we get into a vehicle and start driving, we know there is always the risk that we might not reach our destination safely. Route 139 from Unity to Fairfield can be a dangerous highway. I have seen people pass on double lines, curves, even hills, and at a higher speed than the posted limit. […]

    It really is time to kick out all incumbent lawmakers

    The only reason these circus-like congressional negotiations even take place is testament to the utter incompetence of our electorate. We (taxpaying Americans) inexplicably re-elect them, as if begging them to pull the same shenanigans next time around. We can’t fire them as they would have been fired from any non-government job for such poor performance. […]

    Sick of attitude by politicians in Augusta, DC

    I have voted in every election since 1948, and I have never seen such bitterness as now exists between the two major parties. The Democrats are aided by your newspaper. You seem to seek out every way possible to present the Republican party in a bad light and to portray Paul LePage as the bad […]

    Munson has ability to ‘meet in the middle’

    I met Cecil Munson while working side by side with him as a volunteer. He always completed the tasks he took on, making him a pleasure to work with. Cecil has served our community as a responsive city councilor and I have personally appreciated his support of the warming center, the food banks and the […]

    Munson a wonderful public servant with a big heart

    I want to urge my fellow Augusta voters to re-elect Cecil Munson as councilor at-large. I know this man to be a wonderful public servant with a big heart. He really does work for us, and he does it pretty much 24/7 on behalf of his constituents. Munson is the go-to guy on the council […]

    Candidate loves Augusta, wants city to thrive

    I’m a candidate for an at-large Augusta City Council seat because I have the education, experience, commitment and public service record to do the job well. In 1992, I received a council resolution from Mayor William Burney Jr. that recognized my 15 years of community service on the Augusta Conservation Commission, and for my work […]

    McCormick an innovative thinker, finds solutions

    I’ve had the good fortune to work with Dale McCormick, off and on, since the early 1980s, and know her to be an innovative thinker who has a remarkable ability to find solutions to problems others see as unresolvable. She would be an outstanding member of the Augusta City Council. Her experience as a home […]
