The Maine Supreme Judicial Court needs to side with the people of Maine, not a minority of homeowners.

Another Maine museum worth a visit | Letter
Bert Kendall’s July 8 letter of admiration regarding the Maine Military Museum in South Portland is spot-on and a very impressive visit indeed. Adding to that fitting compliment, I would also offer that the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor has an extraordinary military section (and several very special military monuments outside) in addition to […]

Susan Collins is a champion of public broadcasting | Letter
Thank you for your coverage of the complicated issue of federal funding for public broadcasting (“Maine Public could lose $5 million through proposed federal clawback”) . The U.S. Senate is expected to act on the Rescission Bill this week. As chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Susan Collins plays an extremely important role in […]

Suggesting special handling for Maine’s stripers | Letter
The recent striper tourney postponement in Harpswell due to lack to fish is a sad state of affairs, but the reasons often blamed (rainy spring, colder water temps) for lack of stripers are incorrect. Virtually all the stripers we catch in Maine migrate here every spring and return in the fall to the Hudson River […]

Cost of medical school in Maine is out of control | Letter
I was appalled to read that the cost of attending the University of New England medical school is between $300,000 and $370,000 (“How Trump’s big bill will reshape the affordability of Maine higher education,” July 9). I received my medical degree in 1975 from Washington University at St. Louis, Missouri, a top medical school. My […]

‘Diddy’ and Donald spell cultural doom | Letter

How is this different from Germany in 1933? | Letter
And crown thy good with brotherhood? As our country descends into autocracy, how is this different from Germany in 1933? The atrocities are delivered in a slightly different order, but the similarities are apparent. For example, we are being “cleansed,” ostensibly to benefit the country, to rid us of waste, fraud and abuse. Most of […]

Susan Collins’ bill vote was far from admirable | Letter
No, Sen. Susan Collins doesn’t get applauded for simply voting in her constitutents’ best interests. That’s her job. And, once again, it appears she cast a “No” vote when the bill’s passage was assured. Sen. Collins could have spent the last several months lobbying her Republican colleagues about the immorality of this bill and what […]

Put millions, billions and trillions into perspective | Letter
With all of the government talk of big numbers regarding spending and deficits, it is helpful to have a perspective on these numbers. If we viewed these numbers as seconds: 1 million seconds is about 11.5 days, while 1 billion seconds is about 31 years and eight months. One trillion seconds is equal to approximately […]
