Anyone who truly cares about America can see through the deceptive presence of paid protesters demonstrating against ICE agents in Minneapolis, Minn., and other cities throughout the country. Many voters have been indoctrinated to believe that the Democratic Party is the same as it was when John F. Kennedy was president. Well, not any longer! […]

Proud to be an American, not proud of our government | Letter
Reading William Kelley’s letter last Monday (“No longer proud to be an American,” June 1) made me very sad. I understand where he’s coming from. I am ashamed of our government. I am frustrated that no one can stop the corruption, callousness and destruction that is happening in our Capitol. I makes me physically ill […]

Maine agencies’ farmland purchases seem dubious | Letter
Our state is struggling financially, yet we have state agencies purchasing land? (“Maine buys second PFAS-contaminated farm,” May 22) People need to consider the fact that this PFAS “catastrophe” might be engineered.

Republicans’ focus on fraud rings hollow | Letter
Every Republican candidate’s campaign highlights how each of them is going to cut waste and fraud from our existing government assistance programs. Let’s look at the facts: Maine is a poor state with a low per-capita income. Our citizens work very hard to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads, […]

From Capitol Hill, a Maine caregiver’s message | Letter

My husband, Jesse, served eight years in the U.S. Army, with deployments to Afghanistan, Ukraine and Djibouti. He was medically retired in […]

Platner’s past has no effect on my life | Letter
I really appreciated Douglas Rooks’ June 3 column, “To understand the manhunt against Platner, dig a little deeper.” Graham Platner’s posts, texts and tats have absolutely zero effect on my life. Things that do have an effect on my life, and on other people in Maine, across the country and around the world: Will we […]

Cleanup efforts needed in Augusta | Letter
We have lived in Augusta for six years. In that time, we have seen many beautiful things including various walking paths along the Kennebec River. However, these paths are constantly eroded by homeless encampments, along with their trash, discarded clothing and personal items such as maxi-pads and used toilet paper. If Maine wants tourism dollars, […]
