While I deeply appreciate so much of what Gov. Mills has done for Maine over her administration, I don’t think she can beat Sen. Susan Collins. Mills’ position as a traditional Democrat and her age work against her appealing to the many disenchanted voters in Maine, especially younger voters and those in the 2nd District. […]

ICE overreach keeps me up at night | Letter
At some point, these agents will realize they aren’t in pursuit of “greatness.”

This is the tip of the iceberg with Trump | Letter
So, we have a president who authorizes murder on international waters with neither evidence nor accountability, who destroys part of the White House with no accountability and who pardons a multitude of criminals convicted of very serious crimes. We have a president who will not spend allocated funds in reserve to ensure those in need here […]

Tired of government shutdown shenanigans | Letter
Every day it’s the same old stuff on the news about the government shutdown and who is at fault. It doesn’t matter what network we watch. I think the conservatives should use the nuclear option and get it over with already. There are people who need their SNAP benefits and we have this petty argument each […]

Elevating coastal buildings in Maine is a fool’s errand | Letter
A recent Press Herald article described the decision by a South Portland family (in the wake of January 2024 storms that damaged their home) to elevate the structure 5 feet, resting it on pylons at a cost of $500,000.

What are Maine Democrats’ priorities in Senate race? | Letter
Steve Collins’ recent column regarding his desire for Graham Platner’s resignation (“Platner should take this opportunity to bow out,” Oct. 23) is yet another frantic, panicked attempt by the stagnant Democratic Party to stick to the status quo in an unprecedented fear of true progression that has corrupted Maine for an amount of time that […]

Take a closer look at Graham Platner | Letter
In our democracy, political hopefuls are open to scrutiny. Investigative reporters, historians and other seekers of truth look into the backgrounds of political candidates so that voters know what they are getting. As responsible citizens, it is up to us to analyze their findings. Graham Platner has won the imagination of voters. Portraying himself as […]

Susan Collins refuses to protect our health care | Letter
If it weren’t for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) I would not have been able to open two restaurants and create more than a dozen jobs. If not for ACA health care coverage, when I had a pregnancy complication that resulted in a $40,000 hospital bill, we would’ve gone bankrupt and been forced to shut […]
