    Local representative takes issue with LePage comments

    I am writing to make it clear that I do not agree with, nor endorse, recent comments made by Gov. Paul LePage to the effect that state employees are corrupt. Those comments are untrue, no matter how one defines “corrupt.” The comments are disrespectful and hurtful to the thousands of people who work hard in […]

    Flags along Route 201 a wonderful sight

    When my wife asked me Sunday morning if our power was being shut off, I had to get up from my coffee and paper to see what the commotion was in front of my house. To my surprise, a horde of city employees and volunteers were installing American flags on every other pole along Route […]

    Silence suggests lawmakers support LePage remark

    In the absence of a response from Rep. Dennis Keschl, R-Belgrade, or Sen. Thomas Saviello, R-Wilton, condemning Gov. Paul LePage’s remarks, one can only conclude that they are on board with LePage’s view of corrupt state employees. Kevin Macdonald Belgrade Lakes

    LePage ‘forgot’ he has met with education association

    Perhaps Gov. Paul LePage needs to have his hearing checked? Perhaps he has a selective memory? Or, perhaps he listens only to those who agree with him?
