In a recent statement on social media (Bluesky), Gov. Janet Mills, posting from her Senate campaign account, said, “I will defend you with everything I have.” We shouldn’t accept politicians shirking the last year of their responsibilities to run for a better job, even under normal circumstances — and we are currently far away from […]

Don’t be fooled by Susan Collins | Letter
Sen. Susan Collins must think we Mainers are as gullible as she is. Remember, Collins assured us that Brett Kavanaugh would not vote to overturn Roe v. Wade (he did), that RFK Jr. would not seek to restrict access to vaccines (he did) and that Donald Trump previously learned his lesson (he didn’t). Now, she expects us to […]

Collins puts Mainers first with her approach on energy | Letter
Energy policy has a massive impact on the daily lives of Mainers. It shows up in our monthly bills and business costs. Those costs determine whether people can afford to live and work in the communities they love. That’s why Sen. Susan Collins’ practical approach to energy policy deserves recognition. Maine needs a diverse energy portfolio, and […]

Innocence is no protection against ICE | Letter
Thinking that doing nothing wrong will keep one safe from unlawful search and seizure is a naive point of view.

Rise up and make your voices heard | Letter
Thank you for the Jan. 30 op-ed “Please stop calling it polarization.” I am tired of being called a radical Marxist communist just because I want our government to live by the words and ideals enshrined in Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I am tired of being told I need to learn to listen […]

Why are Republicans so resistant to providing decent health care? | Letter
As unpredictable as Rep. Jared Golden was in his current term, I sincerely feel that my 1967 Lewiston High classmate, Paul LePage, would be worse. Paul, in refusing to back Medicaid expansion, has blocked thousands of Mainers from receiving life-saving health care. What do Republicans have against citizens receiving decent health care?

We are watching our democracy be destroyed | Letter
Help! America and democracy are dying! Independent (lovely and practical) Maine is being pulled down with them. Only three years ago, we were living contentedly along side our immigrants, who were working, paying taxes and joining our communities. We had health care. Our education was supported, from Head Start to university. We were helping to feed the […]

Caught, but all for naught | Letter
News is all over social media about Maine’s Democrat governor, Janet Mills, being “caught” in multiple fraud cases involving her and her brother, but please pardon me if I don’t plan the ticker tape parade just yet. Adam Schiff was caught peddling a false narrative about Russian collusion to besmirch an incoming president and jam up […]

US citizens should honor and respect the American flag | Letter
To the point. I don’t care which side someone is on, it’s never OK to fly the American flag upside down. I saw that at the protest in Wells on Saturday, Jan. 28, at the corner of routes 1 and 109, and I was offended! Maybe, just maybe, it was not an American flying it, […]

Shah is more than qualified to be Maine’s next governor | Letter
Voters doing their due diligence will be aware of his impressive and well-rounded background.
