Admirably, the Tariff-Belanger Post 39 of the American Legion and the Madison VFW 7865 are jointly raising money to support a veteran in need. Those who support this endeavor can contact either organization to donate; I am sure such generosity would be appreciated. I hope, also, that doing so will discourage the members of this […]

Take a closer look at Trump’s war on immigrants | Letter
If money wasn’t an issue, would citizens feel differently about immigration? Reasons that President Trump uses for pushing immigrants out of the country are money and “crime.” But if he knew that immigration is great for our economy, and that immigrants are rarely criminals, would that change the way he treats immigrants? How about Mainers? […]

It must be true there are a number, if not many Christians today, who in the privacy of their hearts have come to realize the president they helped elect is not the Christian leader they envisioned, or hoped might become. When they see the litany of things he has said which contradict the most fundamental […]

Janet Mills should not run for U.S. Senate | Letter
Gov. Janet Mills is too old to become a freshman U.S. senator. She needs to retire successfully as governor. We need younger people with greater energy and new ideas. She would be 84 years old before her term expires. In recent photographs, Gov. Mills looks extraordinarily tired. She appears to have little patience with people […]
