Letter to the editor: Carbon fee and dividend should be federal policy
Thank you for your article regarding Gov. Mills’ climate agenda announcement (“Mills sets goal to fight climate change: 100% renewable electricity by 2050,” Feb. 28). Potential policies mentioned in the article, such as a proposed state carbon tax, can seem frightening, but it is the impact of unmitigated climate change on Maine farmers, fishermen and […]

Letter to the editor: Mandatory Maine inspections unfairly jack up cost of motor vehicle ownership
I agree with Bill Capistran on the ripoff vehicle inspection we endure here in Maine (Another View, March 4). I have yet to have a bill for less than $100 for the repairs to pass inspection. My last inspection was nothing less than fraud. I drive a 2005 F-150. All I needed was to have […]

Letter to the editor: ‘Hear Here’ program at Merrill showcases the creativity, diversity that help Maine thrive
I’d like to comment on the Feb. 18 article about Gov. Mills “looking ahead” from the “turbulence” of the previous administration (Page B1). But first: As a crew member at The Center for Maine Crafts in West Gardiner, we attended Creative Portland’s “Hear Here” program Feb. 17 at the Merrill Auditorium. It’s only a few […]

Letter to the editor: CMP’s money sways Gov. Mills into supporting transmission line plan

Letter to the editor: Gov. Mills’ shift on CMP raises important questions
Wow! While being sworn in as governor, Janet Mills implored us to “become one Maine again,” but one of her first actions was to endorse the severing of the state that would occur with the Spanish monopoly’s clear-cutting of a 150-foot-wide swath of the last pristine block of wilderness in the northeastern United States! Why […]

Letter to the editor: Minimum-wage increases put small Maine businesses at risk
Like a canary in a coal mine warning of trouble ahead, the private bottle return business is facing major problems in staying open with the minimum-wage increases that they are facing. Since Jan. 1, many of these businesses have been struggling or already have closed because they can’t cover the cost of doing business. They […]

Letter to the editor: Column on Camden exhibit controversy amplifies voices that have gone unheard
Let us light a candle of gratitude for Bill Nemitz and his “lending a voice to those Mainers who might not otherwise have one.” His column invites us to consider real-life issues of justice worth reflecting on. As such, it serves the greater good of our Maine community. But Nemitz also offers more. His Feb. […]

Letter to the editor: The people’s choice is the best choice for U.S. president
I think that the Electoral College, as it stands now, is an outdated and too-political system. There is no reason we shouldn’t be electing our presidents by a nationwide popular vote. The candidate with the most votes in the entire USA should win. Barry Goldminz Kennebunk
