RSU No. 6 candidates meet the public
October 25 - There are seven candidates from Lincoln running for three seats on the RSU #67 School Board in the November election. Tonight, in a "Meet The Candidates" event sponsored by the local Teacher's Association, five of them were on hand to talk with and answer questions from the local public. The event was held from 6:30-8 pm at Northern Penobscot Tech on West Broadway in Lincoln. Five of the seven announced candidates were there: incumbent David Edwards, and challengers Katie Clay, Gilberte Mayo, Dolores Phillips, and Mary Plourde. Jeffrey Schick did not attend, nor did Garland Hurd who, it was reported, is out of the state today.
A similar event was held last fall, with meager attendance. This year's turnout was low again, with only 20 citizens attending, along with the five candidates, which, in our opinion is unfortunate, as these events offer the voters an opportunity to meet with and talk to these prospective school board members one-on-one.
The election is one week from this coming Tuesday. CLICK HERE for a photo slideshow.
