Referring to the image “Crowing in Circles,” in the local and state section, on Thursday, Nov. 6, — kudos to photographer Gregory Rec. He’s been with the paper a long time and he never disappoints. Elizabeth KolodinPemaquid Harbor

Sen. King’s vote let me down | Letter
I feel that Sen. Angus King’s vote, to allow President Trump and the Republicans to continue to destroy our democracy, was shameful. The one and only chance to stand up to this dictator is now gone. His view that the government needs to be open to function makes little sense. The House was out of session […]

Gratitude to Augusta’s Ward 1 voters | Letter
With Election Day in the rearview mirror, I write to thank the voters of Ward 1 for electing me to serve on the Augusta School Board. Over the past five years, I have found a family and made a home in Augusta. This year, I decided to run for office because I hope to give […]

Political posturing is nothing new for Democrats | Letter
Nelson Dorsey III, in a thoughtful and well-constructed op-ed (“For Democrats, it’s political posturing at any price,” Nov. 9), chastises the Democrats for not engaging in debate and searching for compromise with Republicans, especially with respect to the current government shutdown.

King switching sides on Affordable Care Act is deeply disappointing | Letter
Befuddled? Livid? Outraged? How to describe my reaction to Sen. King’s vote on Sunday night to pass legislation that does not guarantee support for the Affordable Care Act. How could he abandon the needed healthcare for so many Maine residents? As the wealthiest country in the world, I fail to understand why America abandons citizens […]

Let’s find commonalities and stop picking fights | Letter
I could respond in kind to the Hallowell fire chief, after reading his unkind words about folks attending the Oct. 21 “No Kings” rally (“Hallowell fire chief seeks indefinite medical leave,” Oct. 24). But just because I can doesn’t mean I should. Just look at where all our red versus blue, us versus them and […]

For veterans who need legal help in Maine | Letter
This is an appeal to veterans who may be in need of a lawyer but cannot find one. Many veterans find that they have a legal problem but cannot afford a lawyer. In fact, more than 75% of the lower income people in Maine, who need to go to court, have this problem. Those problems may […]
