    John Lewis, Businessman, Chair of Cape Elizabeth GOP on Schools, Trump, Youth & Local Politics

    John Lewis went to Oxford Hills High School and wanted to leave rural Maine. He had dreams of the big city where the action was and he did not want to go to college. Turns out he graduated from the University of Maine and now runs a business that helps manufacturers and wandering high school graduates looking for a different path to a bright future that side steps a bachelors degree. My guest this week is John Lewis, former Republican candidate for state senate in District 29 covering Cape Elizabeth and South Portland, Maine, in 2022 who lost that race but remains in the game as a player with a message for Cape residents: It's about the issues! Vote.

    Tim Reiniger Fact Checks Cape School Bond Politics, Pitches Conditional Zoning in Town Center

    Is it a fact the Cape Elizabeth School Board has been underfunding the Capital Improvement Plan to the tune of $7.2M? Yes. Is it true putting $9.3 M into the CIP budget to cover essential repairs at the high school and elementary school will result in no tax increase? No. Tim Reiniger has facts and the evidence to back up his position. Too bad the Cape Courier, the local paper with its thumb on the issue, isn't interested. Are you? Listen up!

    Why political legend Larry Benoit is a "no" on Cape Elizabeth $94.7M school bond.

    Former US Senate Sergeant at Arms and local political legend Larry Benoit is voting "no" on the Cape Elizabeth $94.7M school bond come November 5th for a lot of very good reasons. The bottom line? The tax burden for residents far outweighs any educational benefits. And claims by the local school board that the proposed alternative $42M bond to cover the cost of essential renovations and repairs has not been vetted? "Disingenuous," Benoit says. "Utter nonsense."

    Gina Hamilton on Trump Shooting. Just Deserts?

    News reporter and editor Gina Hamilton joins the show to give her take on the shooting yesterday of Donald Trump by 20 year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at a Pennsylvania campaign rally. She's not surprised it happened, and lays the blame partly at the feet of violent rhetoric used by Trump and his campaign. Joe Biden, she says, reacted presidentially to the incident, and reminded people what leadership looks like. Biden called Mr. Trump, canceled campaign events, acknowledging the victims and their families, and strongly denounced political violence. Trump, on the other hand, continues to be all about himself, Hamilton says. So what about the conventions in Chicago and Milwaukee? Is past prologue?
