For the past six years, America has suffered through the corruption and scandals of the Obama administration. The president has bypassed Congress while using executive orders that were beyond the law and totally unconstitutional. The scandals — the IRS, Benghazi, the incident called “fast-and-furious” and others — combined with Obama’s executive order about illegal immigrants […]

R. Bechard: Too many uninformed people
It is time to re-elect Paul LePage as governor and also elect a newcomer, Patti Gagne, for the Maine Senate. They will work for Maine. There are too many uninformed people who keep voting for the same Democratic candidates who messed up the state economy. Mike Michaud, candidate for governor, would help illegal immigrants get […]

R. Bechard: A fair share for school workers
The liberal left are talking about hiking the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. Before doing that, Gov. Paul LePage and the Maine Legislature should lift the wage freeze for Maine’s city workers. The cost of living has gone up dramatically, but for the second largest city in Maine, Lewiston custodians have the lowest wages. […]

R. Bechard: Liberals to blame for problems
Left-wing legislative officials have been giving welfare program benefits to the wrong people for years. Democrats don’t understand that Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are not a way of life; they are there to help get people back on their feet. All Gov. Paul LePage is doing is cracking down on […]

R. Bechard: Obama, leftists are job killers
The truth is that President Barack Obama and the far-left, liberal environmental activists are job killers. The so-called climate scientists said that if the Keystone Pipeline is built in America, it would be the biggest carbon time bomb. I believe the number one, biggest carbon polluter is China. China is a ticking time bomb. According […]

R. Bechard: Put an end to welfare cheating
Illegal and legal immigrants are in the land of milk and honey and opportunity (which doesn’t exist for the hard-working average American). In response to a Sun Journal story of Dec. 4, it seems there are some immigrants who have been cheating the “system,” misusing EBT cards and funds from federal housing programs. The state […]

R. Bechard: Impeach Obama, period
The liberal Democrats of America turned a blind eye to the Obama administration, knowing the truth would come out. President Barack Hussein Obama is a master of deceit. He wasn’t truthful about the Benghazi attack; he told falsehoods about the IRS and the NSA spying on people, and he was dishonest about Obamacare. Attorney General […]

R. Bechard: City is in ruins
People who call Lewiston Mayor Bob Macdonald and Maine Gov. Paul LePage “bullies” have no idea what they are talking about. People may say that Macdonald is a bully, but he supports senior citizens and disabled veterans. He is a veteran himself. Macdonald is correct that a new, four-story, 13-unit housing project for those qualifying […]

R. Bechard: Benefits are not a handout
Government officials are calling Social Security benefits entitlement spending. But members of Congress have free health care insurance, outrageous retirement packages, dozens of paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation and paid sick days. To me, that’s welfare. And they call my Social Security retirement payments an entitlement? The only thing wrong with the government is […]
