Sentinel building better choice for police station
It seems that the engineers are having a problem seeing the trees because of the forest. Common sense dictates that the Morning Sentinel building is recent and sound construction and should be the better choice for a new police station. The proposed new building will be located in an area that could flood before water […]

Proposed police station a disgrace to the city
The proposed new police station at Head of Falls may be the worst addition to the Waterville downtown landscape since the sculpture in the Concourse. Thanks to councilors Fred Stubbert and Erik Thomas for their votes against the plan. It is never a good move to accept a solution to a problem because it seems […]

Gardiner’s firing policy seems to be uneven
The Kennebec Journal recently printed an article regarding the issue with the firefighters in Gardiner. After seeing this, I went to see the city manager for an explanation. Scott Morelli said it is a personnel matter and he couldn’t talk about it. If that is the case, why did he divulge any information to the […]

Teachers, students would lose if LePage get his way
I am really sorry that Paul LePage had a bad school experience himself. Maybe he had a poor teacher who was unkind, or maybe he was a bully in school and prevented his teachers from doing their job for all the other kids. I will never know, but it is sad that he is bent […]

Religious faiths that run business need to follow rules
I want to commend President Barack Obama for his attempt to insure access to health care for all Americans.

Republicans should support governor, not Democrats
Many Republican representatives in Augusta did not support Gov. Paul LePage in his run for governor. Maine conservatives did, and they did for a reason. We could have chosen a moderate, but we didn’t. Tough choices need to be made, and massive cuts need to be made. Republicans should stop asking what the Democrats on […]

Many better things than war to spend money on
I’m flabbergasted at the thought that our nation seems to be gearing up for more wars: against Iran and against Syria. We’re still stuck in a quagmire in Afghanistan. Have we all gone nuts? We can’t afford it! The same people who are griping about the terrible deficit are trumpeting new wars. How do they […]

Online retailers should collect sales tax on items
As co-chairwoman of the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development, I see the difficulties that Maine’s small business confront on a day-to-day basis. Maine has strict and burdensome regulations, high taxes and, at times, an anti-business attitude. As state legislators, we have an opportunity to fix one injustice that hurts our […]
