Levesque for state senator

To the editor:
    I called on Levesque Lumber as sales manager for the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad for five years in the early 1990s. Dan Levesque and his family were always a joy to work with. Dan converted a rail loading siding at the Ashland mill over a weekend to allow access to both sides in order to load our new center-beam lumber cars. He later modified the Marsadis siding to accept additional cars at that mill. Dan could be counted on to get things done.
    Dan has been active in community government — Vice Chairman on the reconstruction of Route 11 and 212 highway projects, former owner of businesses in Ashland and Presque Isle, active in bringing an industrial park, co-generation plant and spec building to Ashland.
    Dan has been a voice in Augusta on the Canadian Lumber Tariff in order to protect the lumber mills and jobs in Maine. His knowledge of business and issues of concern will be a great asset as he works for us in Augusta. I hope you join me in voting for Dan Levesque on Nov. 6th as our State Senator in District 34.
