Keystone XL pipeline needed for US growth
When the Trans-Alaska pipeline was first proposed in 1970 the environmental movement launched an all-out effort to stop it based on claims that the heated oil would destroy the permafrost, earthquakes would rupture the pipeline, massive oil leaks would permanently scar the tundra, contaminate the hundreds of pristine streams and rivers in the path of the pipeline and halt the annual migration of the Porcupine caribou herd.

Treat a longtime advocate for her constituents
Sharon Treat, D-Hallowell, representing House District 79, has been a longtime advocate for health care, elder care and our environment. She is smart, articulate and a very hard worker for her constituents. In this political environment, she could easily throw up her hands and walk away. Treat will not do that. She continues to fight for and to shed light and truth on the issues that are so important to us.

Charter school could be better, but we don’t know
I read the article about the Cornville Charter School in the Morning Sentinel on Sept. 6. A parent said, “It just sounds like a way better school than the public school. If a child is at a third-grade level, they do third-grade reading. They’re not held back with the other children. They’re always advancing forward.”
