Attempts to cancel net energy billing are based on the false claim that the solar program is responsible for increased electricity costs for Mainers. Those cost increases are primarily the result of the rising price of natural gas and storm recovery costs from last year’s devastating storms in January. In fact, according to Maine’s Public […]

Letter: Dysfunctional Maine Democrats are missing in action
What is going on in the Maine Democratic Party? Try phoning. It is clear that all parties have been advised to not answer the phone or respond to voicemail. All extensions are on voicemail — even the director. I would like to be a contributor but frankly this inattention is disturbing. What is their plan? […]

He uttered 30,573 proven lies during his first term, so no one believed him when he revealed his plans to destroy our democracy. Now the bobblehead has surrounded himself with unqualified puppeteers who are telling him how […]

Letter: Congress needs to reclaim its power
The United States Congress is ceding its power as an equal branch of our democracy to the Executive Branch. It is important to have three co-equal branches of the federal government, as was designed by the Founding Fathers. Congress should be the deliberative body that enacts laws designed to benefit the people, all the people, […]

Letter: The president is misinformed on tariffs
President Trump is terribly misinformed regarding tariffs. The reason American industries, factories and other enterprises have moved to foreign countries is due to the fact that labor costs are cheaper in those areas, resulting in lower costs on those products sold here at home. Warren Buffet, a financial wizard, described the implementation of tariffs as […]

Letter: A renaming is in order at Bowdoin College
The Smith Union, which was at the heart of the recent protests, should bear the name of a university student who was killed in Gaza.
