Letter to the editor: As councilor, Brunelle will empower citizens
Please join us in voting for at-large Portland City Council candidate Joey Brunelle, to support: • Democracy: Citizen participation in local decision-making is lacking. Mistakes are being made, and citizens are losing faith in their city government. From the mega-shelter debacle to ignoring overwhelming support for the four-school bond, the city has let us down. […]

Letter to the editor: Mavodones’ institutional memory is valuable asset
We’ve known Nick Mavodones for a long time, since serving as a school volunteer and working with him to help found the Portland Neighborhood Council. Since then he has continued to engage in civic duty, both on the school board and as an at-large city councilor. There is value having councilors who have institutional memory. […]

Letter to the editor: As an independent, Hayes wouldn’t play partisan politics as governor
I’ll be enthusiastically casting my vote for independent candidate Terry Hayes to be Maine’s next governor. Terry is the only choice who brings experience, intelligence and independence from big-money donors together in one package. She’s focused only on what’s best for Maine – not partisan politics.

Letter to the editor: Voting for Hayes opens door to more problems and bad governing
