  Winter sand should be cleaned off all roads equally

  Spring has sprung. So I decided to do some spring cleaning, but I could not open my windows. My window screens were caked with so much sand I had to pound it out. Why? Because all winter long, our road (Route 139) was spread with a sand/dirt mixture instead of salt. So now when cars […]

  Council chamber best used by more city panels

  I want to clarify my position regarding the use of the Augusta City Council chamber by the Board of Education. I now fully support members of the school board having access to and use of the council chamber and sitting at the council bench to conduct their business. I have done some serious research and […]

  Chizzle Wizzle good news KJ should have covered

  Where was the Kennebec Journal during the four Chizzle Wizzle performances, March 20-24? In vain, I looked for coverage of this wondrous event. This 121-year-old minstrel/olio deserves better from the local paper. With so much bad news dominating the media, the public needs some good news, and Chizzle Wizzle is very good news. Just think […]

  Thanks to KJ for two conservative columnists

I also would like to express my appreciation to the KJ for printing the most refreshing and honest editorial column that I have seen in a very long time. I’m speaking about the March 24 column by M.D. Harmon. It is […]

  Lawmakers practicing medicine without a license

  State legislators enacting their own medical opinions, such as limiting Medicaid for methadone to two years, would be laughable, if it weren’t shabby. Powers McGuire Augusta

  Crosswalks need to be seen to save pedestrians’ lives

  The front page of March 22’s Morning Sentinel had the story, “Pedestrian hospitalized after being hit by van.” Sgt. Matt Bard said, “the paint on the crosswalks is not visible.” The town of Madison has the same problem. The paint on the crosswalks is no longer visible, not even in front of the junior high. […]

  LePage takes vacation, while we go without

  It is so stupid that the governor has money for a vacation in Jamaica when we go without a lot. We need money for shelter, food for families and more help to get people jobs, and he uses our tax money for a trip. He gave his brother a job, and I don’t think there […]

  New homeless shelter in a very dangerous place

  I do not question the fact that the Waterville area needs more homeless shelter space. What I do question is why this new shelter under construction is sandwiched between two railroad tracks (one on the east side of the building and one on the west side) and a corner of the foundation not 10 feet […]
