Janet Mills is the clear choice for US Senate | Letter
I have carefully looked at both of our Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate. One candidate is an oyster farmer, harbormaster and military veteran, with no lawmaking experience. The other candidate stood up to President Trump by defending a Maine law and then winning against him in court. Janet Mills has protected reproductive rights and […]

Our taxes are being used to finance another foolish war | Letter
I will not be receiving an income tax refund this year. I am certain that I’m not alone. I’ll be writing a check payable to the U.S. Treasury and it angers me to think that possibly some small portion of my payment will be used to fund another stupid, foolish (and possibly forever) war in […]

We must get a handle on rising temperatures | Letter
Why is our country denying or ignoring the warming weather? More people, animals and plants are dying from heat every year. This past March, there were hotter temperatures in our West than ever before, while Hawaii was hit by huge rain storms for two weeks, causing devastating floods. I was in Hawaii recently and the […]

Graham Platner will fight for Maine | Letter
Every major gain for the working class in America has come from the people. We didn’t get the eight-hour workday or the 40-hour workweek because CEOs handed them over. We fought for them. Just as Americans fought in the 1910s for women’s rights, in the 1950s and ’60s for civil rights and in the 1970s […]

A superior name for the former George J. Mitchell Elementary School | Letter
I was born in Waterville and have spent most of my adult life in Maine. Even though I’ve never met the Hon. George Mitchell, I know of his accomplishments. He has done more for his fellow Mainers, Americans and our Irish friends than 99% of the population. He could be called Waterville’s most famous son. […]

Only an updated immigration system can fill the labor gap.

Nirav Shah will work for those of us ‘caught in the middle’ | Letter
After more than 40 years in Brunswick, I never imagined that our hometown would become an unaffordable place to retire. My husband is a veteran who served this country for 21 years. I’ve spent more than 33 years as a radiation therapist. Our pensions and Social Security put us in a category where we have […]

Let’s replace Collins with Platner | Letter
As a longtime Maine voter, I believe we should replace Sen. Susan Collins. Collins represents big government that ignores the needs of many Maine voters who buy groceries, pay ever-expanding costs for housing and medical care and pay the bills that flood our homes and mailboxes. Two alternate senate candidates that I find interesting are […]

This administration has been far from asleep | Letter
I applaud the message of James McGuire’s Feb. 27 op-ed (“American politics is suffering from Rip Van Winkle syndrome”). However, the MAGA leadership has not been sleeping. For well over a decade it has been plotting, strategizing for this Trumpian moment. Its aim all along was to defeat the goals of the past generation toward a more […]
