Lewiston can become amazing
I cannot support Ben Chin for mayor of Lewiston. Repeated efforts to communicate with him and his campaign, both in the previous election and the current one, have resulted in a deafening silence. There is a pattern of his leadership that exhibits exclusion and no interest in discussing who Lewiston has been and how it […]

Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald holds a copy of a postcard sent to him asking that he help protect the city’s immigrant population from deportation. LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — A Maine mayor says he was mistaken in warning the city’s immigrants about a postcard he received in the mail. Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald originally said he […]
