Many of us in Midcoast Maine are angry and dismayed with the orange man who would be king. This latest set of events, attacking Iran, has led us down a path we had not encountered previously. We are in a dangerous war, on the offense, where there is no plan and no certainty on the objectives. On […]

I like that we know who Janet Mills is | Letter
Like so many of us, I fight to keep my head above water with the firehose of political and news assaults. As exhausting as it is, I try hard to keep my eyes on the multiple balls that barrage my daily orbit. Maine’s U.S. Senate race is no exception. This June, I’ll be voting for […]

Treatment of Afghan refugees is despicable | Letter
President Trump’s effort to negotiate sending Afghans who helped the U.S. war effort in Afghanistan to the Democratic Republic of Congo, a failed state engaged in a war with Rwanda, or return them to their own country to face potential retaliation by the Taliban, is despicable.

Janet Mills checks all the boxes for US senator | Letter
Is it too much to ask an elected official or a candidate for office that who they say they are today is also who they were yesterday, and will be tomorrow? Under President Trump, we wake up each morning to his rant of the previous evening. It’s usually more bad news that adds to the […]

Nirav Shah has earned Maine’s trust | Letter
As I look at the crowded field of candidates for governor, I ask myself: What is the most important attribute for the individual who will best serve all of the citizens of Maine? What does our next governor need to provide to reach Democrats, Republicans or independents? What same qualification should the people in populated southern […]

A pivotal senator like Susan Collins could do a great thing | Letter
Sen. Susan Collins should make a permanent place for herself in history by leading an unambiguous campaign in Congress to remove Donald Trump from the presidency of the United States. Maybe after the midterms, there will be enough change in Congress to remove Trump from office. But can we afford to have such an erratic […]
