approves many measures
By nine votes, Rockport says no to building a new library in Rockport Village; approves ordinance amendments
Tue, 11/08/2016 - 9:30pm

By just nine votes, Rockport voters defeated a measure to spending $2 million on a new $4 million library ($2 million was to be raised privately), approved a road acceptance ordinance amendment so that Hawthorne Drive will convert from private to public purview; eliminated what some say is an outdated and cumbersome sidewalk ordinance; and signed a contract with the Southern Maine-based ecomaine for disposal of solid waste. They voted no by just a hair to legalizing marijuana, and approved gun...
Attorney General Mills calls foul on voter disenfranchisement
Mon, 11/07/2016 - 3:45pm
AUGUSTA - Maine Attorney General Janet T. Mills has issued the following statement in response to questions about voting requirements for people in Maine. "No one should feel that they cannot vote if they are a citizen of the United States, if they are 18 years of age or older and if they are a resident of Maine for however short or long a time. Whether you just retired here, whether you are living with family, whether you are here looking for work, or whether you are taking classes here, the...
Letter to the editor: Owen Casas is a candidate to trust
Sun, 11/06/2016 - 2:15pm
I am writing to openly endorse Owen Casas as my choice for Representative of Maine House District 94. I encourage my Camden and Rockport friends to do the same by voting for Owen on November 8 at the polls. We are a small tight-knit community, and know with certainty of Owen's transparency, honesty and deep ties to Maine. As a member of our Select Board, who is now running for a representative seat, Owen has proved though his involvement, he is dedicated, devoted and has an agenda that is a...

Owen Casas: The great state of Maine and our great moderates
Thu, 11/03/2016 - 10:15pm
The Great State of Maine can stake claim to many different strengths that are unique to us. We have found a way to blend in high-tech advancements into our historical industries. We have found a way to balance the harvesting of natural resources while maintaining a high environmental standard to preserve Maine’s natural beauty. We are open to blending and balancing. And, blending and balancing has, over time, produced a legacy of moderate politicians from our state that is respected far beyond...
Overseer of the voting booth, the hub of the community
All hail the Municipal Clerk: Fair, patient, accurate, they are the ‘Remembrancers’
Thu, 11/03/2016 - 4:30pm

The unsung heroes in all Midcoast towns are the municipal clerks. You may not know them, but they probably know you, or at least, your vital birth, marriage and death stats. These are the quiet, efficient overseers of local government, and their duties may range from taking minutes at budget committee meetings to ensuring that elections proceed without a hitch. Both tasks are significant, and glitches in either can spell legal trouble for the city or town. Clerks, and their deputies, preside...
Voter’s Guides to the Maine Initiatives: Marijuana, education tax, gun background check, minimum wage, ranked choice voting
Thu, 11/03/2016 - 3:45pm

The League of Women Voters of Maine and the Maine Secretary of State have both produced in-depth and information guides to the five initiatives and one bond measure that is before all Maine voters this Nov. 8. Their easy-to-read publications also provide information on other questions and candidates. Here are links to both: Easy to Read Voter Guide, Maine General Election (League of Women Voters) The Maine Secretary of State has compiled a Nov. 8, 2016, ...
Letter to the editor: Let’s keep a good thing going with Sen. Dave Miramant
Thu, 11/03/2016 - 2:45pm
I've owned the Village Variety in Camden for 34 years now, and I can tell you firsthand that Sen. Dave Miramant is a man of his words who works for all of us, regardless of party affiliation. Ever since I've known him, through his time as a Camden selectman, House Representative and now Senator, Dave has consistently been a man of integrity and action who gets good things done. Dave Miramant supports small business owners in many ways, including by reaching out to inform us and solicit our...
Letter to the editor: Kathleen Meil Is above negative politics
Thu, 11/03/2016 - 2:30pm
In Owen Casas' paid ad, "A heartfelt thanks to Joan Welsh's supporters and everyone who rises above negative politics," he blames Kathleen for letters he deems negative. I am very much displeased that he used my name in connection with his assertion that Kathleen has encouraged her supporters to write what he perceives to be "jabs" at him, "full on attacks at me" (him), or "displayed half truth or completely false statements". Nothing could be further from the truth. I have reviewed the letters...

Friends and neighbors: Election day is almost here — finally! Running a campaign to represent Camden, Rockport, and Islesboro in the State Legislature is an honor. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to talk policy and priorities with me.

Letter to the editor: Support Mike Thibodeau for Maine Senate
Mon, 10/31/2016 - 10:15am
It is an honor to have Mike Thibodeau working on our behalf in the State Senate, for all of us here in Waldo County. Mike is a native Mainer and small business owner who wants to continue to grow and expand our Maine economy. This is so important for our young people so they can attend good schools, obtain a quality education and have opportunities here in Maine to work and live after graduation. Mike has fought hard to increase funding for schools yet keeping property taxes down. He was...

Susan Thiem runs for Waldo County Probate Judge
Mon, 10/31/2016 - 8:45am

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself to the Waldo County voters and to explain my reasons for running for the position of Waldo County Probate Judge. My name is Susan C. Thiem and I have been practicing law in Lincolnville since 1982. During my years of general practice I have had numerous cases in a number of Maine's probate courts, including Waldo County. Like many other attorneys in the Midcoast area it is common to have cases in Knox, Hancock, Penobscot and Kennebec...
Letter to the editor: Vote Fulford for supporting farms
Sun, 10/30/2016 - 9:15pm
Maine is leading the country in revitalizing the farming movement. In recent years, farms are being started at nearly four times the national average. Although we live in a state with an aging population, we are at the center of an agricultural renaissance. This is very good news for our state. Family farms ensure greater food security, reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and boost our local economy. Harvest festivals and pick-your-own produce activities create recreational opportunities,...
Letter to the editor: PAC attacks Fulford
Fri, 10/28/2016 - 10:15pm
The Capitol Leadership Political Action Committee just put out a deceptive mailer supporting Mike Thibodeau and attacking Jonathan Fulford. Aside from being completely false, it is an attack by special interests against a clean elections candidate. Unlike Mike Thibodeau, who controls several PACs for his campaign, as a Clean Elections candidate, Jonathan Fulford is forbidden from raising or receiving any money other than what is granted through the Clean Elections system; no outside group can...
Letter to the editor: John Spear will work hard for District 92
Fri, 10/28/2016 - 9:45pm
Undoubtedly I’m biased, but nobody knows better than I how tirelessly my husband, John Spear, has worked in his volunteer efforts for the Town of South Thomaston over the past twenty years. And nobody knows better than I how dedicated he will be if he is elected to serve as State Representative for Criehaven, Cushing, Matinicus, St. George, South Thomaston and Thomaston. Leslie Spear lives in South Thomaston
Letter to the editor: My Dad, Sen. Dave Miramant, works to improve education
Fri, 10/28/2016 - 9:30pm
When it comes to education, my dad, Dave Miramant, has always known the importance of seeing students as a whole person, not just as the summation of their test scores. My dad has an interest in educational reform that comes from a much deeper place than just politics. As a non-traditional learner myself, I struggled to fit into the traditional learning model. Because of this, my parents identified resources and options that helped me develop as a whole person. It was important to them that...
Letter to the editor: Mike Thibodeau's funding facts
Thu, 10/27/2016 - 4:45pm
I strongly encourage voters who think that Senator Michael Thibodeau's campaign is only funded by in state money to become better acquainted with the facts. As of October 24, Thibodeau's campaign committee and PACs (Political Action Committees) that he controls has received nearly $490,000, with 48 percent coming from out of state. Now it is up to 51 percent! On this list are some familiar names like Monsanto (nearly $3,000), Philip Morris, RJ Reynolds, Anheuser Busch, Texas Instruments and...
Letter to the editor: Emily Trask-Eaton has the intellect, strength, and good statesmanship for Augusta
Thu, 10/27/2016 - 1:45pm
A lady knocked on my door the other day, introducing herself as Emily Trask-Eaton. I had seen the articles in the newspapers about her running for the Democratic seat in the House of Representatives in District 91: Waldoboro, Washington, Friendship, West Union. Recognizing her face from the photos in the news articles, we immediately started a discussion on her background as a native of Maine and having roots in a sturdy fishing family on the coast of Maine Downeast in Bernard. I used to fish...

Thu, 10/27/2016 - 1:45pm
As an unashamed Democrat, I typically find myself having to contemplate which candidate to support only during primary season. This year is different. Here in District 94, we have a choice between two excellent candidates seeking votes to be our representative in the Maine House. I’ve thought more about this specific race than any in my lifetime. When I voted at the Town Office earlier this week, I filled in the circle next to Owen Casas. I know from experience that Owen takes extreme efforts...

I had already heard of Ellie as the respected founder and executive director of the Maine Children’s Alliance. Her reputation among...

There is currently a litany of issues facing the people of Mid-Coast Maine. We live a complex and complicated time which means we need strong, smart leadership that will help solve these problems with creative solutions. When Mainers in House District 94 head to the ballot box on November 8 there is only one candidate who has the capacity to bring the fight for the people of the Midcoast to Augusta, her name is Kathleen Meil. Kathleen has shown that she is willing to fight for important issues...

It may be hard to believe everything you hear or read in the news, so with first hand knowledge and experience, I am honored to support Owen Casas, Independent for Representative in Maine House District 94, Camden, Rockport, and Lincolnville. As our representative, Owen will listen and consider all points of view. His patriotism, and service to country is beyond admirable. Owen has a true love for family, is a loyal friend, and gives his all in support of veterans. He will be a breath of fresh...
Letter to the editor: Owen Casas’ integrity never waivers
Thu, 10/27/2016 - 11:15am
In 2014, I had the pleasure of being Independent Owen Casas's campaign treasurer. Owen knew me as the accountant for his father-in-laws farm stand, the former Rockport Town Clerk, and someone who kept a mindful eye on spending. When he asked me to be his treasurer I was hesitant because I am not handy on a computer, I was unsure what the time commitment would be, and I knew I wouldn't be able to work at the polls for the first time in 45 years. Owen promised that he would help me with the...

In every instance Josh revealed himself to be remarkably able, always arriving on time, thoughtfully prepared, and ready for the task at hand. He is a good listener and a creative problem solver. He is affable and easy to get along with, yet not afraid to...
Letter to the editor: What Thibodeau knows
Thu, 10/27/2016 - 11:00am
It appears that Mike Thibodeau knows he can’t win reelection on his record. That could be why, just days ahead of the election, the corporate interests who support Thibodeau to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, are bombarding voters with misleading mass mailings. This is the kind of politics Americans have come to hate. The truth is in plain sight on the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices website. You see, Mike Thibodeau also knows that Jonathan Fulford...
Letter to the editor: Dave Miramant is an advocate, staunch supporter of our communities
Thu, 10/27/2016 - 10:15am
I am writing in support of Senator Dave Miramant's reelection to the state senate. Mr. Miramant has proven time and time again that he not only has the breadth of experience needed for such a position, but that he will work with anyone and everyone to bring excellent policy and fairness to our communities. While I served on the board of select people on the island of North Haven, Mr. Miramant worked tirelessly not only to craft a piece of legislation from scratch in support of a medical...
Letter to the editor: Jonathan Fulford is a listener
Wed, 10/26/2016 - 4:45pm
You can tell from the way Jonathan Fulford has run his campaign that, if elected, he will truly represent the people of Waldo County. As a Clean Elections Candidate, he refuses to take money from lobbyists or corporations. It would be easier to cave in to the pressures and payoffs of special interest money, but Jonathan is not one to take the easy road. He has tirelessly knocked on doors across our county to talk to his potential constituents, to hear our concerns, our ideas, and our hopes. And...

Tue, 10/25/2016 - 4:30pm
One of most valuable aspects of life in Maine is that we can get to know our neighbors, the people we do business with and the people who represent us in public office. We have known Senator Dave Miramant as a friend and neighbor for all 26 years that we have lived in Camden. Dave and I served together on the Camden Selectboard and Greg and I have been Dave's campaign treasurers through several election cycles. We understand and highly value Dave’s approach to being in elected office: he is...

He is well known in Augusta as an independent thinker and as a legislator who works hard to serve his constituents and not only to solve their problems, but also the broader problems throughout the state. No one works harder than Dave Miramant. He was tireless in passing the...
Letter to the editor: Kathleen Meil for State Rep. District 94
Tue, 10/25/2016 - 3:00pm
Many, perhaps most, of us are fed up with the consequences of party politics and are looking for an antidote to the polarization that plagues our nation. It’s tempting to think that electing an independent candidate for State Representative is the answer. The problem is that supporting candidates because they aren’t Democrats or Republicans is just as problematic as supporting candidates because they are. Responsive representation and party affiliation are not mutually exclusive. I believe the...
Let’s return Dave Miramant to the Maine Senate
Tue, 10/25/2016 - 3:00pm
I believe the voters should reelect Dave Miramant to the Maine Senate. In his first term, Dave worked to increase state funding for education to the 55% passed years ago in a referendum. He believes in reducing the burden of property taxes while providing a quality education that meets the varied needs of Maine’s children—our future. Senator Miramant used his skills and knowledge as an airline captain to work across the aisle for bi-partisan solutions to Maine’s challenges, sponsoring bills...

If that is you, and you live in Senatorial District 12 (pretty much Knox County) then watch the Oct. 24 candidates forum held by the town of Camden. Dave Emery, R-Tenants Harbor, and Dave Miramant, D-Camden, spent more than 90 minutes explaining their positions in a fine example of political discourse. Click here to watch the forum.

I am writing to ask voters of Camden, Rockport, and Islesboro to elect Kathleen Meil as our next state representative. I first met Kathleen several weeks ago when she knocked on my door as she was driving around my neighborhood to meet potential voters. Before I even knew of her position on the important issues of the day, I sensed a warmth, a reasonableness, an enthusiasm, and a genuine dedication to our communities and our state. After she left, I read her campaign flyer and went to her...
Letter to the editor: Kathleen Meil is thoughtful, honest, straightforward
Mon, 10/24/2016 - 3:00pm
Like many voters, I look carefully at candidates and their positions before I make my decision. I never assume that one political party will automatically get my support, and through the years, I've voted for Maine Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. This year, I'm voting for Kathleen Meil for State Representative. Kathleen is a Democrat, but more importantly, she's thoughtful, honest, and straightforward about what she thinks. She clearly and consistently outlines her policy positions...

Pinny’s time in the legislature has continued to promote and...

I am a Belfast resident working hard to get Jonathan Fulford elected as the next state senator for Waldo County. I heard him speak at the Waldo County Candidates Forum held on Sept. 28 at the Hutchinson Center. While there, I also heard Kathleen Meil for the first time. I was impressed with her ability to answer questions directly and clearly. Ms. Meil is running for state representative from Camden and Rockport in Knox County and Islesboro in Waldo County. She spoke eloquently about education...

Mon, 10/24/2016 - 12:15pm
While the Maine Legislature moves at sluggish speed toward very little, there IS hope at the local level in District 95 for fresh thinking and leadership– and that is Ellie Goldberg! Ellie is a mature intellect, abundant in common sense. She brings years of legislative experience and know-how to the job as founder of the Maine Children's Alliance, which she ran for 17 years. In that capacity, she advocated on behalf of Maine's children at both the state and federal level– and succeeded in...
