Letter

Sawyer unavailable

Tom Sawyer failed to attend to his responsibility as Bangor’s state senator in 2003. As a University of Maine graduate student at that time, I was required to meet with then-Sen. Sawyer for a policy class. Mr. Sawyer wrote to me that he would be available at the State House on a specified date and time. After traveling to Augusta and waiting for more than 30 minutes, I found that Sen. Sawyer was present at the Senate that day, but neglected to meet with me. Afterward, he did not return my telephone calls to arrange a subsequent meeting.

Bangor needs a senator who is responsive to his constituents. Sen. Joe Perry has always been attentive when I have contacted him, and has proved he is an effective and dedicated advocate for the residents of Bangor.
