Why are people not showing up to work? I finally get it. After numerous job offers, I’d show up to the first day of work — sometimes not really met with a smile or handshake. A training in a windowless room with not even a bottled water as a welcome offering. Not even told where […]

Collins’ Kavanaugh vote should cost her Senate seat | Letter
After the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision was announced, Sen. Susan Collins admitted her decisive vote for Brett Kavanaugh was based on his false reassurances and lies. Did she demand hearings? Call for his impeachment? No! She tepidly voiced “concern.” Remember back when she and Sen. Jeff Flake orchestrated what turned out to be a sham […]

Maine Legislature must act quickly to regulate AI | Letter
With the spread of massive AI data centers across America, the Maine Legislature should work quickly to protect Maine. Already such ventures are not allowed to access the Maine State Business Development Tax Incentive Program. It is unfortunate that the governor vetoed the 180-day moratorium, but nevertheless much can be done. The three main dangers […]

Maine should have participated in Great American Fair | Letter
I am amazed by the beauty and rich history of Maine. There is so much to be shared with all the people from away. The citizens of our special state work hard and know how to play hard in all the beautiful seasons: snow sports, camping, hiking, our immense wilderness, all of this must be shared […]

Food-insecure children pay the price for Susan Collins’ games | Letter
On June 17, ProPublica reported that more than 4,300 children in Maine — and 776,000 children across America — have now lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Let me repeat a key word from that previous sentence. We are talking about children. This situation is the direct result of what the Republicans called […]

Distressed by opinion editors’ omission | Letter
In Nancy Lessard’s June 26 letter, “Susan Collins correctly prioritizes veterans,” the writer waxes poetic about how Sen. Collins loves veterans. Lessard noted in the letter that she and her sister have donated about 300 homemade afghans to veterans since visiting Normandy, France. I thought this was great; I also make quilts and blankets. So, […]

Platner will prioritize public health, which Collins helped to dismantle | Letter
A new television ad (paid for by “America First International Assistance”) portrays Sen. Susan Collins as protecting Maine from the Ebola virus by funding millions in scientific research. While the ad may have historical truth concerning her record (the footage appears to be several years old), Sen. Collins is a member of the Republican Senate […]

Here’s a presidential thought experiment | Letter
Just imagine. It’s January 2024 and Joe Biden has just been inaugurated as president of the United States. Since that day, President Biden has: While performing his presidential duties, Sleepy Joe has been found countless times napping during Cabinet meetings and public events and sending mean and hateful tweets to his detractors using vulgar, street […]
