Letter to the editor: Dirty politics afoot in the Maine governor’s race

Sat, 10/25/2014 - 6:30pm

There's appalling dirty politics in the governor's race. Eliot Cutler is allowing Gov. Paul LePage, and his Republican backers, to use him as a pawn against Mike Michaud, from the debates to Republican donations to Cutler. Please don't vote for the fast-talking lawyer with this lack of scruples.

Lies on a robo call, are attempting to smear Mike and promote fear. A dark, shadowy fake Michaud website intended to frighten people is actually a paid ad. Dirty politics!

Mike has always been a good, decent, humble man. He got involved with politics to clean up the Penobscot River being polluted by the mill, which employed him, and his family. That took nerve, tact and perseverance. That is Mike Michaud. An honest public servant who will work tirelessly to bring people together to create good solutions. That is Mike Michaud.

Don't allow dirty politics to fool you, vote for Mike.
