    Katz, Flood blast LePage, but supported him with votes

    Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, and Rep. Patrick Flood, R-Winthrop, have a very big problem with Gov. Paul LePage: How do they distance themselves from an increasingly politically suicidal governor when they have supported by their votes his basic anti-labor and anti-state employee agenda over the past legislative session? That cannot be easy when their districts […]

    Sentinel missed boat on closing of Last Unicorn

    I am amazed and appalled that the Morning Sentinel has not made any mention of Waterville’s restaurant, The Last Unicorn, closing. I heard Mayor Karen Heck held an emergency meeting recently with other local figures to try to find a way to save it, but I only know that because of the local rumor mill. […]

    Governor responsible for misspeaking, misdeeds

    When a governor such as ours continues to embarrass himself and the state, I look to the leadership among our representatives to cross their party affiliations and speak their mind. I extended this request to my representative and senator who represent my town in Augusta. Not only is it our representatives’ responsibility, but each of […]

    We need Hernandez’s leadership in state Senate

    I’m voting for Dana Hernandez for state Senate District 25 because I know how hard she’ll work for the things I believe in: a stronger educational system, a healthier environment for our children, support for farmers and local economies, laws that respect all Maine citizens, and support for the most vulnerable among us. We need […]

    Lachowicz concerned about same issues

    I support Colleen Lachowicz to be the Democratic candidate for Senate District 25, which includes Albion, Benton, Clinton, Unity Township, Waterville and Winslow. In the June primaries, Democratic voters will choose between two very good candidates, and I will support the winner. I have had an opportunity to observe Lachowicz when she has been involved […]

    Lachowicz brings sides together for common cause

    Anyone who’s lived in the city of Waterville for a while knows we have two factions in our politics: “The Hill” vs. “The Ville.” It’s been that way for decades. I support Colleen Lachowicz for state Senate because she has proven that she understands how to navigate that political minefield and build consensus better than […]

    Hall-Dale programs, staff should not be cut

    I am a parent of two daughters who attend Hall-Dale schools. Recently, we attended a town meeting to discuss the school boards’ recommended budget cuts for the upcoming school year. A number of people spoke up concerning the cuts they found most objectionable. Our family believes that the elimination of the (K-8) foreign language program […]

    Maranacook student’s story brings lump to throat

    I’m glad I was seated when I saw the front page of the Kennebec Journal this morning (May 1) and sighted the photo of Maranacook physics teacher, Steve DeAngelis, congratulating senior, Jared Diou-Cass on receiving a $100,000 scholarship. My knees buckle whenever I run into folk with “inner means of support.” The picture exhibits two. […]

    Votes Wednesday on vital programs for elderly

    The Medicare Savings Program and Low Cost Drug Program are vital to Maine’s seniors and need to be protected from the cutting block. These programs enable many people, both elderly and disabled, to afford Medicare part B, which essentially pays for all medical services not administered as an in-hospital patient. Elimination would mean that many […]

    LePage’s claims last straw for this Republican

    For well over 40 years, I have been a proud member of the Republican Party. Now, I intend to re-register as an independent. I can no longer support a party that continues to make excuses for Gov. Paul LePage. I am tired of hearing Republican Party leaders make excuses for a governor who talks and […]
