Access to health care and safeguarding the public’s health will be two of the most important challenges facing Maine’s next governor. Fortunately, Hannah Pingree is running for the Democratic nomination for governor to help Maine meet these challenges. Thanks to the Republicans in Washington, the tax credits thousands of Mainers used to make their monthly […]

Enough is enough with ICE’s culture of fear | Letter
I have waited for several days, following the unfortunate killing that occurred in Minnesota, to assure my reactions are well thought out. When our current president began sending federal agents and National Guard into the streets of our cities, I feared this would lead to another Kent State event (May 4, 1970). And now it […]

Protest the actions of our elected officials | Letter
I am writing to protest the actions of our elected officials. I am outraged to see those who are sworn to protect our country and its Constitution behaving in unconscionable ways. Examples of these behaviors include destruction of our country, ignoring the rule of law, working against all existing laws and lying about everything to protect […]

History shows us that chaotic governance may have its limits | Letter
The Romans knew better than to mix military personnel with civilian populations. This caused Caesar’s assassination. Most historians say it was Britain’s quartering of troops with civilians that made the majority of colonists sympathetic to the rebellion. If America’s “Dear Leader “can foment enough chaos with ICE, he may get his way. Declare martial law […]

These vehicles can be legally imported, as many of them are 25 years or older, yet the state of Maine has made it impossible to import them due […]

Sens. Collins and King must do more to protect our kids | Letter
In normal times, I would be pleased to read that Sens. Collins and King helped appropriate funding for Maine from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The $369,364 will be used by the Maine State Police to support the Special Victims Unit’s (SVU) efforts to protect children from […]

Three terror squads, one common purpose | Letter
As I see it, Adolf Hitler had the “Brown Shirts,” Benito Mussolini had the “Black Shirts” — both named for the uniforms they wore — and Donald Trump has ICE. Their common purpose: to make everyone in the country afraid. Tear gas, pepper balls, pepper spray, flash bang grenades and bullets, all part of the […]

I’m tired of the warmongers | Letter
I get so tired of the chicken hawks on parade. These frauds found a thousand excuses from entering into military service, with its associated hardships and risks, when they were eligible. When they get some authority and power, they act like the most bellicose and belligerent of people, never seeing a potential conflict they can’t […]
