I was watching the Lewiston City Council meeting (April 17) and was disgusted by the way Mayor Shane Bouchard treated Charles Soule. In my opinion, Soule always asks legitimate questions that need to be answered for the benefit of the taxpayers who, by the way, pay the salaries of the mayor, council and staff. I […]

C. Soule: What’s happening in Lewiston?
Is it me, or is something amiss in Lewiston’s city government? I am talking about the acquiring of a canal from Brookfield of Canada, but handing over a Lewiston-owned electric generation plant to Brookfield, plus surrendering Lewiston’s water rights. Then there is the talk about a mega-size elementary school in Lewiston that would be for […]
