The hatred of the Democratic Party was embarrassing during the State of the Union address. When the USA hockey team entered, everyone stood up, except the Democratic Party. Shame on them and shame on the people who voted them into office. I don’t care how much they may hate our current president. Snubbing their Democratic […]

An unaffiliated candidate is not an independent candidate | Letter
Regarding the Feb. 21 article “Could Maine’s next governor be an independent?,” it is time we retire the outdated notion that politicians are “independent” simply because they list no party affiliation.

Gov. Mills is the best candidate for Senate | Letter
I thank and salute Graham Platner for his previous service to our country and his community. I applaud his willingness to step forward once again. While enthusiasm is necessary, it’s not sufficient.
