Letter to the editor: Open Maine’s primaries to all voters
According to the Maine secretary of state, roughly 280,000 people voted in Maine’s primary election last year. That may sound like a lot, but in fact it’s only 27 percent of our registered voters. In a state that prides itself on voter turnout, why is it that only a quarter of voters showed up to […]

Letter to the editor: Mainers should have the option of dying with dignity

I support Gov. Mills in the push forward she announced in her recent address (“Mills sets goal to fight climate change: 100% renewable electricity by 2050,” Feb. 28) to help Maine communities adapt to changes in the climate.

Letter to the editor: Market-driven health insurance reforms didn’t work for Mainers
In his recent guest editorial (Another View, March 17), Jonathan McKane, insurance industry ally and former Newcastle legislator, disagreed with Les Fossel (Maine Voices, March 11) that “we have tried everything else” to manage health care costs and should now embrace universal health care. McKane asserts that we should adopt a market-driven approach, as exemplified […]

Letter to the editor: Relocation of institutions big loss for city
I would like to speak out in opposition to the proposed relocation of the Portland police and fire headquarters. Ironically, with these entities abandoning the core of the city – along with the Press Herald, which has departed One City Center for the suburbs – they further the demise of the city they are charged […]
