South Portland does a tremendous job of snow removal. But do we need to close every street in the city for five months to get it done? The answer is obvious. The city of New York allows curb parking all year long. In 90percent of the city there is no other place to park. The […]

The Forecaster Forum written by Anne Graham has the typical liberal slant that pervades The Forecaster. The twice-mentioned hunting on North Yarmouth town-owned property is factually wrong.
