Kudos on your excellent coverage of the rally in Macwahoc (BDN, Oct. 25-26) when Rep. Henry Joy announced his candidacy for governor. Newspapers from Aroostook to Cumberland counties had people there. It is noteworthy that the two weeklies closest to the event chose not to cover the first gubernatorial candidacy from southern Aroostook or northern Penobscot counties in generations.

Thank you, BDN, for covering the local news with statewide significance that we just don’t get from our local weeklies. Roger W. Ek Lee
