Michaud wind power vote helps attract investors
I would like to applaud U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, D-2nd District, for joining the rest of the Maine delegation in cosponsoring the Incentivizing Offshore Wind Power Act (H.R. 3238 in the House and S. 1397 in the Senate). This bipartisan bill sends a clear signal to investors that America is open for business and committed to producing clean and domestic energy.

Reducing sales taxes might boost economy
To reduce unemployment, should we lower taxes on the wealthy or stimulate consumer spending? Reducing taxes on the hitherto tax-favored higher bracket would free up money that might be used to invest. That would be a good thing. Businesses, however, won’t add jobs just because capital is plentiful. They won’t add jobs unless they feel […]

It’s time to resurrect CCC so people can work
“Forgotten Man,” written by Amity Shales, gives a detailed version of the Great Depression. It is too bad this book is not part of our school curriculum.

Nation of Van Winkles deserve their government
If Rip Van Winkle woke from a 20-year sleep today, he would not recognize current political facts of life. Citizens’ common sense is deep asleep. While today’s citizens and states struggle with budgets to make ends meet, the federal government has spent taxes for three years without a budget. The people — a nation of […]

SAD 13 voters missing vital budget information
I don’t believe officials in SAD 13 are giving voters enough information for them to cast informed ballots about the proposed budget. We have no information about where last year’s carryover funds went and pages of necessary data were missing from the budget flier sent out on Aug. 14. The state is paying directly to […]

Banda’s experience sets him apart from the rest
It is my pleasure to endorse Darrick X. Banda in the upcoming election for district attorney of Kennebec and Somerset counties.
