We are writing in support of Charlie McBrady for Falmouth Town Council in the June election. We have known Charlie for many years. He is bright, thoughtful and fair minded. He is also a life-long resident of Falmouth who would bring a unique historical perspective to the leadership of our town. We believe he is […]

Letter: Mancini will be good for Falmouth business
As a business owner that has created thousands of jobs in this state and as a Falmouth resident, I have been very disappointed in Councilor Chris Orestis over the last couple years. Our town should welcome businesses, not punish them over tiny regulations – literally one-inch violations. I was shocked to learn that Councilor Orestis said […]

Letter: Tucker has qualities to represent Brunswick
