Lachowicz speaks louder than money

I support Colleen Lachowicz in the Democratic primary for state Senate District 25 on June 12. At a time when money talks in politics, we need a candidate who speaks louder than money. We need someone who doesn’t just talk about hearing people’s concerns, she really listens to people. Some of us can afford to […]

RSU 18 budget rises to detriment of taxpayers

The April 6 Kennebec Journal article, “Proposed RSU 18 budget would mean $1.1M increase,” includes this quote from District Superintendent Gary Smith: “We all need to pull together to make this work.” When reading the article, some may get the impression Smith’s “we” is straight out of “Animal Farm” by George Orwell.

Hein’s positive campaign reflects optimistic outlook

On June 12, I encourage the people of House District 57, representing northwest Augusta to vote for Michael G. Hein. As a former coworker, I can personally vouch for Mike’s character, loyalty and trustworthiness. Mike sees this as an opportunity to serve Augusta, not as a stepping stone to a higher office. Mike’s positive “Say […]

East-west corridor would be ecological dead zone

I was heartened to see an article about the East-West Corridor in Sunday’s newspaper. Finally, we are given a few words in print on the debate about a project that could define the future of Maine.

Years ago high school ice hockey players, including the goalie, did not wear face masks. When face masks became mandatory no one […]
