To the editor:

Fienberg’s voice is needed
To the editor:
State Senate District 2 covers a large, rural portion of Aroostook and Penobscot counties. We’re facing unprecedented challenges: higher costs, scarce resources, overwhelming infrastructure needs, and a political machine that would just as soon have us all fighting each other, rather than working to help us to get things done.
