So it’s Cabela’s fault Leighton shot mother?
It never ceases to amaze me how people do not have to take responsibility for what they do, as long as they have someone else to blame.

RSU 18 board members, teachers deserve respect
Engaging learners, strengthening communities, creating global leaders -- this is the vision for Regional School Unit 18. The school board has faced complex and demanding challenges. It can be said that they have the most important volunteer jobs in the country. Yet our members with an extraordinary dedication to RSU 18 are often ridiculed and personally attacked.

Emergency care vital in reducing health costs
As the nation implements health care reform, emergency care has never been more important. We treat everyone, from babies to seniors, and we see the entire spectrum of medical problems. We save more than lives -- we are dedicated specialists who mobilize resources and coordinate care for our patients.

East-west highway would destroy wild Maine
Millions of acres of Maine's beautiful wild country will be ruined if the east-west highway is allowed to happen. Cianbro says it will foot the bill for this insane project. Lets examine this proposal with a little old fashioned common sense. Who will maintain it after it is built? (Taxpayers?) Will Cianbro hire its own law enforcement group to patrol this road? How about fire and rescue coverage? Is each county responsible to provide safety personnel? Is this a Maine State Police jurisdiction?

MaineCare estension a win-win for Mainers
Rarely do we have such a win-win situation! If Gov. Paul LePage and Maine Republicans support the Democrat's plan to extend MaineCare, the federal government will provide 100 percent of the funding to insure those in Maine who cannot afford health insurance, many of whom are wage earners. Nearly 70 percent of Mainers agree that we should accept the dollars.

Quality pre-K education benefits our country
I applaud Augusta-area school districts that are expanding enrollment in pre-kindergarten programs ("Pre-K programs grow, even as school districts make difficult cuts," May 20). As a former teacher, retired Army general and member of Mission: Readiness, I know that high-quality pre-K is vitally important not only for the young children who attend, but also for the future security of our country.

LePage needs an education about education
As a retired teacher of 27 years, I feel I must address what is happening in our state government. We have a governor who is a bully, and he is leading the lemmings in the Legislature straight off a cliff as fast as he can, pulling the rest of the state over with him. Like any other bully, Gov. Paul LePage must have a supportive audience in order to succeed. The Republican members in the Legislature have again reversed their votes in order to support the governor's veto of bills that could have brought benefits to our state. Shame on you, legislators!
