Letter to the editor: In District 47, Abbott will work to enable health care access
As a nurse and mother of four, I am paying special attention to candidates’ stances on health care in advance of the July primary. Never in our lifetimes has health care, and Mainers’ access to it, been such an important issue as it is right now. Voters must pay close attention to who we elect […]

Letter to the editor: Activist Rose the right candidate in District 29
South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough (down the coast to Higgins Beach) are impacted greatly by oil tankers, the threat of tar sands and other potential poisons to our air and water quality. Eben Rose, a knowledgable, energetic candidate who thinks outside the box, would be an asset in the Maine Senate. I’ve had the […]

Letter to the editor: Setting curfews will preserve right to protest peacefully
Here is a modest proposal for preserving the right of law-abiding citizens to protest peacefully while preventing anarchists from endangering the public and destroying our cities: Establish and enforce curfews.

Letter to the editor: Scofflaw in chief’s visit flouts Maine COVID restrictions
We are a retired couple in Florida who had to cancel our long-anticipated visit to Maine this summer because of COVID-19. Despite our sadness, we applaud your 14-day quarantine requirement for out-of-state visitors and wish our governor had half as much good sense as Gov. Mills on this subject. I was extremely disappointed to read, […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins’ lack of action leaves Americans more than concerned
Yet another heinous act by President Trump that we have never witnessed from any other president: the firing of five inspectors general. Steve Linick was the fifth inspector general to be fired in a short time. This is a disturbing abuse of power. Yes, the president has the right to remove an inspector general from […]

Letter to the editor: Let’s take steps to ease COVID-fueled tensions
A friend told me she is devastated after being spit upon by another Mainer because she was wearing a black “I love Cuomo” mask with a red heart. The perpetrator believed my friend was a visitor from New York City when, in fact, she is a Maine resident from a small town who lives part […]
