Letter to the editor: Vote Logan

Posted on October 8, 2010 by Michael

I’ve written in support of William Logan for House District 57 in Augusta, Maine in the past. I’ve now had a letter printed in the local paper.

William Logan is the right candidate to represent District 57, an area covering parts of Augusta west of the Kennebec, from Manchester to Sidney.

In a Sept. 28 Kennebec Journal article, Logan expressed his concern for the Maine Retirement System funding, offering an outline of his plan to tackle this looming crisis.

His opponent offered platitudes before admitting she had yet to do the research necessary to even hold a position, much less tell people how to fix the problem.

Logan also has some common-sense ideas that will utilize the immense power of science to decrease Maine’s energy costs while also improving the environment and creating jobs.

Logan is a candidate with deep knowledge, integrity with science, and he has quality plans for Augusta and the state as a whole. District 57 voters are lucky to have him on the ballot.

Vote for Logan.

I’m betting it was understood by those who I wanted to have an understanding of it, but I’ll clarify what I’ve put in bold here. When I say “integrity with science”, I mean it in a relative sense. Logan’s opponent is Christopher Maloney‘s wife. I think it’s more than safe to say she’s a supporter of woo. Thus, unless Logan is a woo-man himself, he has a level of integrity with science that neither Maloney can claim.

Vote William Logan

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Michael

For those living in certain sections of the west side of Augusta, Maine, you have an opportunity to vote for William Logan. Take note of how rare an instance this is: I’m recommending a Republican for office.

And the reason isn’t that I know him or even that I particularly like one or any of his ideas. It’s that his opponent is Christopher Maloney’s wife, Meaghan. Though she is a Democrat, she’s unfortunately the greater of two evils. She’s highly likely to support any legislation that promotes woo while opposing any reasonable efforts to cut down on the danger alternative medicine practitioners pose to everyday people. Even though such legislation probably isn’t anywhere on the near horizon, a win now could mean a relatively long political career for Meaghan Maloney. Given the sort of time that offers her to help harm Maine’s medical services and regulations, that ought to be unacceptable to anyone of science and reason. Her close association with a known liar and quack should lead everyone to vote for her opponent.

A vote for William Logan is a vote for the health and well-being of Maine citizens.
