As a keeper of eight dogs, I found the Oct. 28 op-ed (“Maine dog owners need to curb the unwanted baggage“) hilarious and objectionable. Hilarious mostly because of the photo that accompanied it. Upon searching the photo for evidence of dog owner irresponsibility, all I saw were discarded fast food containers. Human waste? Not dog […]

Don’t discount Maine’s experienced public servants | Letter
I must take exception to Rob Neal’s Nov. 3 op-ed titled “Maine’s elder politicians need to move along.” While he states that older politicians should retire and visit with their children and grandchildren, I beg to differ. Gov. Janet Mills has served her entire career in public service with integrity and the moral compass to […]

Yes on 1 campaign insulted Maine voters | Letter
In response to the results of the vote on Maine Referendum Question 1: changes to voting laws in Maine, the Yes on 1 campaign issued this statement: “Instead of honestly debating the merits of voter ID, they spread lies and fear, convincing voters to vote against their own interest.” It’s not stated exactly who “they” […]

Columnist fails to understand Graham Platner | Letter
Graham Platner appears to be living in Steve Collins’ head rent free. In late September, Steve lectured Democratic voters that they need to listen to party elders and support Janet Mills in the primary for the U.S. Senate seat held, since 1997, by Susan Collins. On Oct. 23, he joined the commentators who’ve decided that […]

A request of our congressional freeloaders | Letter
Since our elected congresspeople and senators seem content to collect paychecks for doing nothing for a month, while our air traffic controllers and other federal employees receive $0 paychecks and SNAP benefits are not going to be paid for November, I think we should ask these freeloaders to donate their last month’s salary to local […]

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

Graham Platner is motivating more Mainers | Letter
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. […]

What happened to World Series coverage? | Letter
Why was there so little reporting about the World Series in the e-paper? Four games passed with very little comment or analysis. Baseball is our national pastime! John BozakLebanon

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 […]
