There is, without doubt, a consensus in Maine that independent Eliot Cutler is a far better qualified candidate for governor than his opponents. Cutler has valuable experience in developing job-creating businesses, in practicing law nationally and internationally, in managing the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and in helping enact the Clean Water and Clean […]

Much is made of the fact that Republican Gov. Paul LePage and independent Eliot Cutler are businessmen. I like the idea of somebody graduating from high school, punching a time clock for nearly 30 years and still making time to serve the citizens of the state of Maine. This is what Democratic U.S. Rep.

Democrat Herb Adams […]

I’ll be voting to re-elect Republican Gov. Paul LePage. He’s the only one seriously attempting to deal with our increasing problem with illegal aliens, euphemistically referred to as “undocumented immigrants.” When he announced denial of benefits to illegal immigrants, up popped the mayors of Portland, South Portland and Westbrook announcing they’d continue giving these benefits […]
