Biddeford, Maine Mayor Should Ask: “Would You Like Some Needles With Your Mail?”

The mayor of the largest city in Maine’s southernmost county was recently allowed by a Biddeford news outlet to extol all his “successes.”

Then just days later a competing outlet, the Biddeford Buzz, published a piece of reality – that the mill city is by all appearances a drug-infested cesspool.

The Buzz ran a story about a downtown business that is finding used hypodermic needles in its mailbox.

So is Democrat Mayor Liam LaFountain selling a fraudulent alternate reality?

From all appearances the answer is a resounding yes.

While the mayor was telling everyone what a great job he was doing, the owner of the business was putting a note on the outside of his mailbox telling people not to leave their needles behind.

“When employees went to check the mail, in addition to those pesky unwanted bills, the employees were also greeted with uncovered used needles,” wrote Buzz editor Joshua Wolfe.

“Yes, you read that correctly,” Wolfe said – “uncovered used needles in their mailbox.”

LaFountain spent ten minutes at a recent council meeting outlining what a great job he was doing in his first term as mayor.

He also boasted (aka complained) about how much time city councilors spend in meetings trying to improve taxpayers’ lives.

With 18 months to go in his two-year term, maybe the mayor can inject himself with a dose of reality.

But hopefully he won’t leave the used needle in a mailbox along Main Street.
