A terrible moral standard

In response to the article published regarding Mike Downing’s termination from RSU 16 (March 28), I am beyond infuriated by the situation. As an alumnus of RSU 16 and an African-American, it is an embarrassment to the local community and state that a bigoted man was allowed to be employed by a school district for […]

Breton will talk with people

Recently, I drove Elijah Breton, candidate for state representative, through many New Gloucester neighborhoods to talk with local residents.

Education deserves the best representation in Maine. Elijah Breton would be a great Representative in Augusta to ensure that all children in this state have access to the highest quality education.

Breton perceptive, positive

I am weary to death about the impasse in the state Legislature and the mindless obstruction set up by the incumbents, many of whom appear to value irrelevant photo ops more than addressing Maine’s most critical issue — jobs. So, what a relief it was in May to meet Elijah Breton, the Democratic candidate for […]
