State Sen. Anne Carney gets my vote on Nov. 5. Carney is an experienced and highly respected leader in the Senate, serving as chair of the Judiciary Committee and as a member of the critically important Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. Focused effectively on issues of community safety, working families, children’s well-being and climate […]

I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Cory Fellows for Scarborough Town Council. Fellows is a proven leader with extensive experience with town issues. I know him as past chair of the Planning Board, a member of the Long-Range Planning Committee and an accomplished affordable housing professional. His experience in the affordable housing […]

We write in support of Crescencia Maurer who is running for Scarborough Town Council. Maurer touts herself as a problem-solver and we can attest to this. Maurer joined the board of the Friends of Scarborough Marsh a few months before it merged with the Scarborough Land Trust. At the time, no staff was available to […]

Cory Fellows is the type of individual we should welcome as a town councilor. I have known Fellows since 2015 when I started serving on the Planning Board. He was the chair. I found him to be very respectful to all who interacted with the Planning Board: developers, consultants and the public. He was respectful […]

In 2000, Scarborough voters made a smart decision. They created a land conservation fund and seeded it with $1.5 million. Since then, voters have approved three additional bonds, and our entire community has benefited.

When serving on the council previously (three years as chair), Donovan advocated for common sense […]

I’m writing to express my support for the upcoming land bond, Question 3. This year, Scarborough voters will have a chance to support a new $6 million bond that we desperately need to help balance our town’s rapid growth with conservation of open space and natural places. There are those who claim this land bond […]

I’m supporting Stacy Brenner for reelection to the Maine Senate for several reasons. Here is one of the main ones: As a resident of Scarborough, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it has become for families and seniors on fixed incomes to afford housing amid rising costs. Brenner has been a strong advocate for affordable housing, […]

Scarborough is growing fast. Many of us think too fast, as has been made vividly and visibly clear with the recent removal of vast forested areas near Eight Corners and on Holmes Road. It is important to preserve our woodlands, waterways and greenspaces now before they are gone – forever. A “yes” vote on Scarborough […]

Like the vast majority of Scarborough residents, I’m all for land conservation. But I’m voting “no” on the $6 million land bond in November. Here are two reasons: First, the permitted use of the land bond funds is extraordinarily broad and vague. In addition to conserving land, the funds can be used for several other […]
