The United States has always supported countries at times of war. Ukraine is no exception to this. The Biden administration sent billions of taxpayers’ dollars to fund its efforts and got nothing in return. President Zelensky was disrespectful in the Oval Office, to the president and to the people of the United States. Expecting to […]

Letter: Americans must find their line in the sand
President Trump has not been in office for three months and he has managed to step over the limits of and raise the eyebrows of, many Mainers. I throw out a challenge to fellow Mainers, Democrats and Republicans alike, to draw their line in the sand. Ask yourself: “What if Trump did __? Then I […]

Letter: Size divisions would level the playing field
My great-granddaughter is over 6 feet tall and weighs over 185 pounds. She is a girl. Her physique comes from my husband’s side of the family. Our son is over 6 feet tall. However, I am just over 5 feet and weigh about 110 pounds. There is no way someone my size can feel comfortable […]

Letter: America does not need its first king
I consider myself a middle-of-the-road independent. I believe in democracy and recognize that President Trump won the election and deserves the chance to advance his agenda. But that does not give him the right to violate our Constitution and ignore laws passed by Congress. I object to his closing USAID and ending foreign aid, a […]

Disagreeing with Sen. […]

Letter: Hospital closure a devastating blow
I am very much saddened and a bit upset concerning the closing of Inland Hospital (previously known as Waterville Osteopathic Hospital). I honed my management skills as a clinical laboratory scientist, taking the position of director of the clinical laboratory there in the early 1990s. I met some of the most professional, dedicated, intelligent, hard-working […]

Letter: Wishing Maine a belated happy 205th birthday
Happy birthday, Maine! At 205 years, you’re still young. Still strong. Still fun. Still beautiful. No public fanfare again, eh? And, too bad it went unnoticed (again) by the Maine Trust for Local News (March 15). We always remember to toast our beloved great state of Maine (“Dirigo”). Cheers and best wishes.

Letter: Paramilitary training ban should be upheld
I am asking our Maine state representatives and senators to vote “No” on L.D. 303, “An Act to Repeal the Law Prohibiting Unauthorized Paramilitary Training.” The ban that passed last year should remain in place. When paramilitary groups are allowed to take hold, they spread fear, causing a chilling effect on the free speech of […]
