As Election Day approaches, I find myself thinking a great deal about the choices for Scarborough Town Council. I was present recently at Candidate’s Night sponsored by the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce and I would like to strongly recommend Carol Rancourt for one of the two Town Council vacancies. Carol is thoughtful, fair, and willing […]

We urge you to join us in supporting John Christie for Cape Elizabeth School Board. Like many of you, we cherish the exceptional schools in Cape Elizabeth. But now this treasured asset is at risk. We need skilled leaders to navigate us through these challenging economic times. John is the right person to do this. […]

It is with great enthusiasm that I write on behalf of John Christie for Cape Elizabeth School Board. As a CFO and COO of a company that provides information technology services to small businesses, John is well-versed in successfully guiding a company through particularly challenging economic times. As a business leader with extensive technology experience, […]

We are writing this letter on behalf of Annalee Rosenblatt, who is running for re-election to the Scarborough School Board. Annalee has done an outstanding job as a member of the board and deserves to be returned so she can continue the important work. Annalee has been involved in building and making our community a […]

I am truly appalled at last week’s story regarding sign vandalism in South Portland. “The group spearheading an effort to ban dogs from Willard Beach is accusing dog owners of vandalizing campaign signs.” Is there any proof of this? Since when do accusations merit front page news? “Gary Crosby … said his group put up […]

To anybody with a normal sense of logic, the first culprit in thefts of Gary Crosby’s signs “mostly near schools” would have been school children who, I would imagine, take exception to having their walk with their family dogs on Willard Beach curtailed. Crosby’s culprits are his “opponents” SoPo Dog and, of course, without any […]

I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Annalee Rosenblatt on town committees over the years and have found her to be hard working, fiscally prudent, charitable and efficient. I appreciate her candor and tact when facing tough challenges in which quality of education must be carefully weighed against cost. She is a good diplomat […]

As a Scarborough resident I can vote to benefit land preservation in town. Please vote yes with me. If we pass this million dollar bond we’ll receive $200,000 in matching funds from the Maine Community Foundation. This is too good an opportunity to pass up. Because of development pressure in southern Maine, the Scarborough Land […]

I make no apologies for my vote on municipal rights: LD 1028 would allow a municipality to adopt an ordinance that states that a corporation may not be recognized as a person. I believe that the rights of […]
