Recently, I have been reading an outpouring of support for Ben Chin. As an ardent supporter of the First Amendment, I appreciate the spirited debate the mayoral race has created, but I wish to make it a debate. Not one-sided, as can be distorted by mainstream media. While away, I have kept abreast on local […]

Bouchard will bring accountability
Old and dangerous housing stock is the grim reality we face daily. Building owners are portrayed in a negative light; apartment dwellers are always the innocent victims. Neither of those is 100 percent true. Many landlords do care; they invest in their properties and often are faced with the reality that improvements will be short-lived. […]

Those ideals are often called “socialist” by critics of progress; […]

Lewiston wins with Ben Chin
Ben Chin has a vision and plan to move Lewiston forward, to rid Lewiston of a negative image, and to begin to attract businesses, the arts and younger residents to this community. It is about time.

Ben Chin a man of integrity
On Dec. 12, I will be voting for Ben Chin as mayor of Lewiston. Chin is a man with a vision for the Lewiston community but, more importantly, he is a man of integrity and ethics. Many in this country and even the community, have lost their moral compass. I want elected officials who will […]
