I am running for re-election for a second term to the Falmouth Town Council. I have previously served three terms from 1997-2003 and more recently from 2015-2018. I have served as council chairman for two years and currently serve as vice chairman. I will continue to promote local business and development along Route 1 and […]

Letter: Yarmouth Town Council fails leadership test
I am disappointed in Yarmouth Town Council Chairwoman Patricia Thompson, Vice Chairman Robert Waeldner and two others’ lack of leadership during the May meeting. The Town Council had a huge opportunity to nominate a councilor to the Maine Municipal Association Legislative Committee. Unfortunately, they voted against it. Recently during the budget meeting the council expressed […]

Letter: Eves listens, should be Democratic candidate
Mark Eves is uniquely qualified to be the Democratic candidate for governor, not only because he served eight years in the Maine House of Representatives, including two terms as speaker of the House, but because of his unique quality to work with the opposing party to get things done.

Letter: Gredler will connect with Yarmouth constituents
Matt Gredler is a great candidate for Yarmouth Town Council. I have known Matt for 30 years; 26 years as a manager for Allstate Insurance and four years in my office in Auburn. He is a keen listener, leading to his success in business. There is a huge difference between active listening and just waiting […]
Letter: SAD 51 board should reconsider budget
I am writing about the proposed School Administrative District 51 budget, and as a 38-year resident of Cumberland with two sons who attended public schools. I agree that a strong school system is vital to all residents, not only for the direct benefit of the students, but also for the ancillary benefit of increased property […]
Letter: A vote for Rottkov is a vote for civility
Public discourse isn’t what it used to be. South Portland and Cape Elizabeth Democrats would be lucky to have Richard Rottkov’s rational and humane voice campaigning for the House District 32 seat. His involvement with the South Portland Land Trust, Trails Advisory Group, and high school sports booster clubs shows he is steeped in the […]
