Furthermore, it is imperative that we do not forget the gross violation of security dealt to the Somali community in Lewiston by Mayor Larry Raymond, with his racist requests to the group, and his apathy towards burgeoning xenophobic and anti-immigrant hysteria in the city.

This Mayor was NOT being racist! All he ask was for the Somali's to please not bring more in! His city of Lewiston is suffering from lack of funding. He just can't TAKE anymore. I commend this Mayor.

But since Guvnor Baldy wants the Somali's here, this might be the end of the reign for the Mayor. Even HE can't fight City Hall anymore. Pity.

$400k+ in unexpected expenses in a small town (40k people) and the mayor responds to it is not racist. The liberals are just stoking up all the fire they can get from this (Neo-Nazi's, police abuse, racism).
