Brunswick’s out-of-control spending practices and zoning changes are forever changing the character of our town. The town manager has admitted there are no plans to address this. Quite the opposite — town government is spending more while wages never catch up and the cost of living rises. Expensive projects like the recreation department facility, a […]
I am writing to endorse Sophie Warren for the Maine State Senate. While I am often overwhelmed by the way we can treat each other in this country, I must remind myself: community is the antidote to anxiety, and there are people fighting for a kinder America — an America that protects those historically unprotected […]
Despite years of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vaccine rhetoric, Sen. Susan Collins voted to confirm him for secretary of health and human services — based on personal assurances that he would “trust the science.” Since then, he mass-fired the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine advisory panel.

Sen. Susan Collins is again trying to take credit for reducing harm she caused. What Collins’ spokesperson left out in saying the disgusting attack ad against Troy Jackson should be pulled, was that Collins herself put the issue in the spotlight in early September.

In 2018, USDA made $12 billion available for agricultural tariff relief aid. Due to retaliatory tariffs imposed on U.S. agricultural products, our exports became […]
As a disabled person, accessibility and inclusion are essential to informed voting. While all that was asked of Troy Jackson was to provide interpreters, his team arranged an entire ADA section for his large events. May all politicians learn from Troy’s example. Disabled Mainers deserve a seat at the table and Troy provides that seat. […]
While canvassing, I learned firsthand that voters across political affiliations share one concern:the Trump administration’s unconventional and authoritarian policies threatening our democracy and constitutional protections. I was not surprised to hear this collective perspective, but I was impressed with the numbers ofregistered voters still undecided about who to choose for the Maine Senate and House […]
Our teams deserve greater coverage than they're getting.
I’m writing to enthusiastically endorse Jennifer Navarro for Brunswick Town Council at-large. For the first two decades of this century, I actively tracked and commented directly on town operations in live statements at council meetings, letters and columns in the Times Record and my blog “The Other Side of Town.” I collected and analyzed years of budget and […]
