I want to express gratitude to Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald. Macdonald has recently been leading a charge to combat lead poisoning in the city — a problem that afflicts Lewiston at a rate far greater than the state average. As someone in my mid-20s, I like it that Lewiston has a mayor who cares about […]

L.Jensen: No more free money
State officials need to get more aggressive in their welfare reform efforts, with a set end goal in mind.

I generally turned a shoulder to politics, believing it was less about helping people and more about pleasing certain groups of people. Yet, these days I am more optimistic.
