I am writing this letter to express my deepest fears that this publication would repeatably print a full-page ad about the dissatisfaction out-of-state entities have with Hannaford supermarkets. I say fears because you are inciting violent behavior in unstable people who repeatedly see these false accusations. How can we possibly forget the innocent UnitedHealthcare CEO, […]

Graham Platner looks like the editors’ favorite | Letter
Where is the front page story on Janet Mills in the Dec. 28 Sunday paper to balance the front page article you ran on Graham Platner Dec. 21? I am alarmed and disgusted at the Maine Trust for Local News for its constant coverage of him and his race. Unbiased? I don’t know who would […]

Thankful for technology; my ‘tech friends’ | Letter
At 86, I am tenacious and independent. I have a close-knit relationship with all my technology; they are separate and intertwined in my daily life. I have a 14-year-old desktop computer, a television with Roku, an iPad, iPhone and I topped it all off with an Apple watch, for safety reasons, about six months ago. […]

Remember the McCarthy hearings, when something called decency actually mattered?Remember the importance of moral character, when ethical behavior was more expected and respected? When honesty had value? When […]

Criticism of Gov. Mills displays disturbing double standard | Letter
In his Dec. 21 column, “Janet Mills puts ICE cold ambition on display,” Jim Fossel accuses Gov. Janet Mills, who’s running for Senate, of ambition. Why is ambition a negative only when applied to female candidates? The same edition has a lengthy article about Graham Platner, who, despite zero political experience, is also running for […]

Trump needs to leave Greenland alone | Letter
Just when one thinks our so-called leader cannot sink any lower, he now has refocused on acquiring Greenland by appointing a special envoy to Greenland for the purpose of “advancing our security.” Meanwhile he is stirring up a war with Venezuela for the purpose of “attacking the drugs entering our country.” Does Trump think we are […]

The American dream is under siege | Letter
I’ve only recently begun working for the state of Maine. I’ve also recently been watching the Republican Party’s decline, under President Trump, into a relentless vehicle for undermining working Americans and funneling national wealth into the hands of a very few of the richest corporations and individuals. As a new state employee, I can’t afford […]
