LETTER: Keep Wiscasset open for business
I know the people of Wiscasset are caring people. I know this from personal experience. That’s why I’m urging you to vote yes on April 17 to continue the lawsuit and protect our town. The lawsuit will be 100 percent paid for by private citizens and not cost taxpayers a dime. When my wife, Ann, […]
