Maine’s new Senate candidates must endorse Platner’s movement | Letter
As one of the many volunteers on the Graham Platner campaign, I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the Democratic Party’s orchestrated hit job against a political movement that elected Graham with the largest turnout in Maine history.

Tolerance, a vice? Come on. | Letter

We’re skipping Maine because Maine supported Platner | Letter
My wife and I have been visiting Maine, leaf peeking, for 22 years. We spend a great deal of money and eat lots of lobster. Red’s Eats in Wiscasset and Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster in Freeport are among our favorites. This year we rented a cottage near Harraseeket, as it is short drive to L.L. […]

Patients mourn loss of Fairfield eye center | Letter
And then there were two. Has Maine found the golden ticket to quality healthcare? Are we having a “Matrix” moment where reality is no longer logical and fewer qualified providers in the state are better than more?
