Clem Bechard’s recent letter to the editor, “‘No Kings’ protesters should have more decency,” provides a perfect example of irony in the extreme. “There are no kings and there never will be.” Really? President Trump has posted memes of himself wearing a golden crown, and let’s not forget the picture of himself as Jesus healing […]

Palestinian life is the moral test of our time | Letter
May 15 marked the 78th Nakba Day, a day observed by Palestinians after experiencing the Nakba, or the Catastrophe, at the hands of Zionist colonial settlers and their militias. A campaign of atrocities befell the Palestinians when Zionists, under the guise of representing Judaism (and not the ethno-supremacy ideology it was), destroyed villages through violent […]

Matt Dunlap for Congress | Letter
State Auditor Matt Dunlap is running for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. He is a certified internal auditor. There are not enough real certified accounting people in Congress. Dunlap will be able to use his skills to reverse the Trump and GOP policies that are bankrupting our country and producing illegal corruption in Washington, D.C. Dunlap […]

Maine should crack down on Cooke Aquaculture | Letter
Maine, like Washington, was built by people who respect the sea. That legacy is being desecrated — and our elected officials are letting it happen. A new undercover investigation has, again, exposed brutal conditions at Cooke Aquaculture’s salmon hatchery in Bingham — animals slammed into concrete, unchecked disease, filthy overcrowded tanks. This is not new. […]

Ballroom plan lays bare warped national priorities | Letter

Reducing access to essential care while advancing an extravagant construction project at taxpayer expense reflects a profound moral failure. If a tenant damages a […]

Hannah Pingree most prepared to be governor | Letter
I am voting for Hannah Pingree because she has a proven record of effectively bringing people from different perspectives and walks of life together to solve Maine’s most pressing problems. She has worked on housing issues, healthcare, climate change and worked to reduce taxes andpass reasonable state budgets. She gained this experience from being chair […]

Running for governor? Stick to Maine issues. | Letter
Does anyone notice that the Democrats running for governor talk about President Trump and not Maine’s issues, like high property taxes, challenged hospitals and MaineCare hurting? Talking about Trump instead of Maine issues is pathetic. Those running for governor should focus on Maine. Norman TanguayAuburn

You can go and meet ‘the real Graham Platner’ | Letter
Mainers are being subjected to commercials on broadcast TV and YouTube spuriously asking, “Who is the real Graham Platner?” and painting Platner as a hateful person. The question Mainers should be asking themselves is, “Who is the real Pine Tree Results PAC?” The answer is that Pine Tree Results PAC is a dark-money super PAC […]

Platner lacks the record necessary for office | Letter
I recently wrote a letter outlining my opinion that Sen. Susan Collins did not deserve reelection. Subsequently, Gov. Janet Mills has suspended her campaign. We are left with either Graham Platner or Collins to be our voice and represent Maine. What traits do we look for in our leaders? For me, a record of honesty, […]
