This week we started four days of early voting from Monday through Thursday at the Cross Insurance Center. Polls opened at 8 am each day.

I am asking for your consideration and for your vote for reelection to the Bangor City Council. I have worked hard over the last 3 years to protect basic services for our seniors, for young people and for working families. I worked successfully to oppose further budget cuts to our education system, police and fire departments. I have been a strong supporter of expanded commercial investment and creating new jobs in Bangor, as well as a long record of promoting the redevelopment of Bangor’s downtown and waterfront.

In order for us to make progress over the next term we will need to get better consideration and funds from Augusta and Washington D.C., to protect Bangor homeowners. Also we will have to continue to work together, as neighbors and citizens of a great city, that is meeting its challenges despite the economic hurdles we have had to face together.

We can and will continue moving Bangor forward together.

Thank you. Joe Baldacci
