Developer Jessica Klimek, an Auburn native, said in a recent Bangor Daily News story that mayoral challenger, Jeff Harmon, is putting the better interests of the community aside and is among a group of older residents who 'just don't want change.' If one changes the word 'older' to 'gay, Black, or Catholic residents,' one can clearly see the discrimination and bias against anyone older than 40. This is a clear violation of the Maine Human Rights Act. Did she do a survey and find out if it is all older residents? Is this just more stereotyping? The same exact stereotyping and media coverage has happened in Bangor by quoting Bangor developers.
