I’m responding to Joe Charpentier’s great article on heat pumps (Nov. 16). It has always amazed me that weatherizing was not a prerequisite of purchasing heat pumps through the Efficiency Maine program. We have updated our insulation, doors and windows, furnaces two or more times in our old house. The products available today are vastly […]

Perception vs. reality on Zohran Mamdani | Letter
You can really tell that Zohran Mamdani’s election to lead the city of New York has really got people in a full-blown tizzy by reading letters like Kevin Landry’s (“Democrats take a page from Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm,” Nov. 16). Landry reels from hyperbole to hysteria as easily as Donald Trump navigates a golf course during […]

Mainers must not be silent about Gaza | Letter
Reuters has confirmed that Israeli military lawyers warned of evidence supporting war crimes charges in Gaza, and that U.S. officials knew this yet continued to supply weapons. That should horrify every citizen who believes in the rule of law. I call on Maine’s delegation — Sens. Collins and King and Rep. Pingree — to demand […]

Sen. King still owes us an apology | Letter
Earlier this month, Maine voters resoundingly rejected tampering with voting rights in a nationwide election outcome the Mississippi Democratic Party called “a historic rebuke of extremism.” Days later, Sen.

Word fall short for Trump administration abuses | Letter
The letter by Ann Rankin in the Nov. 4 edition (“Republican disinformation has gone way beyond spin“) was excellent and a meaty summary of the administration’s unruly attempts at undermining our democracy. She concludes by interestingly pleading for a new word for “lies,” one that more strongly and uniquely denotes the truly damaging aspects of […]

Trump administration should be tried for extrajudicial killings | Letter
The movie “Nuremberg,” starring Russell Crowe, is now in theaters. It is a historical reflection of the trials following WWII. The Western Allies had defeated Nazi Germany and these trials were set up to determine what should happen to 22 senior Nazi officials following the war, in which they were responsible for the killing, in […]

Report on Gardiner school board was misleading | Letter
Your recent coverage of the Gardiner-area school board meeting (“Parents’ rights groups, backed by conservative funders, bring fight to Maine school boards,” Nov. 19) was so blatantly biased and misleading. The people who you are trying to malign — a group of parents who simply want to make sure they have a voice in what’s […]
