Next Tuesday, July 23, in Jefferson a small number of residents are going to commit the town to a course of action.
Overdue, But Sincere
I am writing to praise one (actually two) of our local merchants. My letter is long overdue, but that does not make it any less sincere.
Vote ‘Yes ‘For Lower Taxes

The Road Signs Of Summer
The signs of summer; those days we dream of all winter, the days of our childhood that are recalled quickly as adults; fireflies in Hellmann’s mayonnaise jars with holes punched in the metal top, beach sand in our flip flops, hamburgers on the grill, potato salad and watermelon seed spitting contests.

FORWARD, REALLY
It’s graduation week in Lincoln County and we here at The Lincoln County News add our collective congratulations and well wishes to others already extended to the members of the Class of 2013.

The date for the referendum vote is June 28, but absentee ballots are also now available at RSU 12 member-town town offices. There are three articles on the ballot.
A Witch Hunt With No Obvious Benefit To The Town
I’m amazed that Peter Drum and the selectmen of Newcastle have taken it upon themselves to harass and badger Newcastle Center owners Paul and Debbie Sidelinger to shut down nearly half of their apartment/business building.
Slum And Blight For Downtown Waldoboro
