What is wrong with working for a living?
We finally have a true people’s governor. It has always been easy to promise change for the working people, but the doing has always been the problem. The entrenched liberals have given away the farm for years (it ensured another vote for them later). Why not give the rich people’s money away, so what if […]

GOP forcing nation onto financially suicidal path
Many of my friends say that there is no appreciable difference between the two political parties. With regard to foreign policy, unfortunately, I agree with them. During my adult life, there have been many wars and many intrusions by the United States into other countries where we have no business. We have overthrown legally elected […]

Parade needed more bands, scouts, spirit
Where was the parade? Two bands and 50 cars — a parade? Granted, a few veterans participated. Bless them, that’s what a parade is all about. But where were the high school bands — Messalonskee, Lawrence, Winslow and Waterville? Plus an hour and a half wait. Shame. Let’s get the bands, more Boy Scouts, Girl […]

Many students in SAD 13 Industrial Arts Program
I’m upset that, once again, the MSAD 13 School Board in Bingham is looking to cut out the industrial arts program.

Money in consumers’ pockets best for business
I read Richard LaPorte’s letter to the editor in the Kennebec Journal this morning (July 13) with some interest.

At the same time, unemployment is at a historic high so plenty of willing workers are […]
