Gay people can get what they want by moving
The gay marriage issue will soon be back, but what impact will it have on parents and their children? If gay marriage passes, I’m afraid gay parents will tell their children that all married couples are now equal in all aspects, including our sex lives. This of course isn’t true, but they will indoctrinate our […]

We are learning how small our Earth is
Disrespect and hatred are rampant. Brother is set upon brother. We have awful fiery weapons that can wipe homo sapiens and many other species off the face of the Earth. The industrial and technological (e.g. communications, transportation) changes of the last 200 years has turned civilization — the way people live with one another — […]

Romney dressed down when he visited Maine
My wife, God bless her, never misses the subtle way most politicians work their magic. When she saw the GOP candidate for president, the honorable (?) Mitt Romney, show up in Maine wearing overalls, she had this to say: “Strange, all along in his campaign, he was in a suit and or on some sites […]

MaineCare isn’t welfare; it is health care
Can’t we expect from our elected officials an ability to make a honest argument? Our governor has said that we need to reform Maine’s welfare system because the state is “business unfriendly,” a designation that has nothing to do with the welfare system (except in the mind of the governor). OK, so maybe he just […]

We need to stand up to attack on middle class
As I watch what is going on in Augusta around working families, I wonder why there is an attack on what is left of the middle class. I am a member of the local carpenters union, and I am concerned to see three anti-worker bills before the Legislature this session. I have had an opportunity […]

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.

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 […]
