    We need referendum on Medicaid expansion

    With his usual bombast "Governor Front Page" vetoed health care for thousands of Maine families. Using Republican myths about the economically disadvantaged, he defended his assault on Maine government.

    Virulent anti-Deen dust-up is utter nonsense

    Paula Deen is getting unfairly skewered by both her sponsors and the press, and I want to raise a strong protest.

    Politics again triumphs over common good

    I witnessed our state Legislature's failure to override the governor's veto of the federally funded health care for Maine's uninsured and came away with the sense that politics had once again triumphed over the common good.

    We need to be ‘spied on’ to keep our country safe

    I have been hearing a lot about people complaining about the National Security Agency listening in on phone calls, computers, spy satellites, etc.

    As the grandfather of a Maine toddler, I want to thank the newspapers for the reporting about what the LePage administration has done to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

    How should Longley be compared to LePage?

    So, Bryan Hodgkins (letter, June 12) thinks Paul LePage is the best governor Maine has had since James Longley. I didn't live in Maine when Longley was in office, but I wonder if he had the same qualities as our current governor?

    It’s time to consider war contractors’ role

    As many people have heard, another man has leaked some secret government information. This time it's about a huge database that the NSA is collecting of every phone call and email we send. (Everyone, all of us.) There are plenty of reasons to be upset by the fact that our government is keeping a record of every single phone call and every single email that we send or receive. I guess we're supposed to be glad that they won't listen to or read them unless we pose a threat. Of course we're sure that they know just who does pose a threat.

    Other forestry programs deserve ‘green’ recognition

    As you reported ("States Fight Green-Building Leader Over Local Wood," June 9), a growing number of states are joining the long list of elected officials, forestry experts, conservationists and others who urge the U.S. Green Building Council to promote responsible forestry in North America by opening up the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program to other credible forest certification standards, including the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the American Tree Farm System.
