Letter: Vote Kuhn, Asherman, Cahan in Falmouth
I am supporting Amy Kuhn, Ted Asherman and Hope Cahan for Falmouth Town Council. As a former town councilor, I respect their integrity, experience, and leadership skills – talents that are vital to a well-functioning governing body. Amy, a lawyer, successfully led the design phase and fundraising campaign for the Falmouth Memorial Library and has […]
Letter: Casey will help move Yarmouth forward
I strongly endorse Meghan Casey for Yarmouth Town Council. She is thoughtful, balanced, forward-thinking, and positive. She’s also extremely well suited to the job. I’ve seen Meghan run various meetings – in a thoughtful, open manner – and she’s managed to make everyone in the room feel heard and listened to. She also has the […]

Letter: Yarmouth needs Cooper in Augusta

Janice Cooper, D-Yarmouth, immediately approached me when she learned that I am a student at Yarmouth High School.

Politics & Other Mistakes: Lack of (St.) Clair-ity
Most politicians do sleazy things. The stupid ones get caught. Lucas St. Clair seems to be a stupid one. St. Clair is one of three Democrats running for Congress in Maine’s 2nd District.
