A respectful suggestion for Gov. Mills | Letter
I believe Gov. Mills is the most electable and, in my view, the best candidate to run against Susan Collins. However, Mills’ age, by the end of a six-year Senate term, is going to be a problem for some voters who are open to replacing Susan Collins. Gov Mills recognizes this and has stated that the most critical period of […]
Trump’s dishonesty hampers conversations about unity | Letter
There are so many things that disturb me about what Donald Trump has brought into our lives, but I think the most distressing is his dishonesty. Politicians have always been less than truthful, spinning and shading things to fit their purposes, but Trump has taken this to a brand-new level, creating a completely false reality […]
Maine still has work to do on heat pump policy | Letter
I’m responding to Joe Charpentier’s great article on heat pumps (Nov. 16). It has always amazed me that weatherizing was not a prerequisite of purchasing heat pumps through the Efficiency Maine program. We have updated our insulation, doors and windows, furnaces two or more times in our old house. The products available today are vastly […]
All around Maine, our readers give thanks | Letters
‘Tis the season.
Perception vs. reality on Zohran Mamdani | Letter
You can really tell that Zohran Mamdani’s election to lead the city of New York has really got people in a full-blown tizzy by reading letters like Kevin Landry’s (“Democrats take a page from Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm,” Nov. 16). Landry reels from hyperbole to hysteria as easily as Donald Trump navigates a golf course during […]
The economics of building housing in Maine | Letter
Zoning may make a project legal. It doesn’t make it feasible.
Sen. King still owes us an apology | Letter
Earlier this month, Maine voters resoundingly rejected tampering with voting rights in a nationwide election outcome the Mississippi Democratic Party called “a historic rebuke of extremism.” Days later, Sen. Angus King and others turned their backs on the overall threat Donald Trump’s regime constitutes to our democratic republic. King argued at a Nov. 9 presser […]
Mainers must not be silent about Gaza | Letter
Reuters has confirmed that Israeli military lawyers warned of evidence supporting war crimes charges in Gaza, and that U.S. officials knew this yet continued to supply weapons. That should horrify every citizen who believes in the rule of law. I call on Maine’s delegation — Sens. Collins and King and Rep. Pingree — to demand […]
Word fall short for Trump administration abuses | Letter
The letter by Ann Rankin in the Nov. 4 edition (“Republican disinformation has gone way beyond spin“) was excellent and a meaty summary of the administration’s unruly attempts at undermining our democracy. She concludes by interestingly pleading for a new word for “lies,” one that more strongly and uniquely denotes the truly damaging aspects of […]
