The policy changes we’ve made so far don’t seem to have made any difference to our housing crisis.

Merci beaucoup, Coach Fortin | Letter
I’m Canadian who lives in Quebec. I’d like to share a story with my American friends. Back in high school, our basketball coach was an American from Maine. He showed us how to play basketball — but he also gave us a few lessons about sports in particular and life in general. He taught us: […]

Kudos to Maine Dems for a job well done | Letter
Hats off to party chairman Charlie Dingman and the Maine Democrats. As has been recently reported, never in modern American political history has a state party managed a competitive nominating contest on such a short timeline. Thanks, too, to the leaders of my local town committee, the Democrats of the Kennebunks and Arundel, which, over […]

South Portland trash changes benefit city, not residents | Letter
The city of South Portland has decided to move forward with the idea of a pay-per-bag trash pick-up. It currently costs taxpayers $2 million per year for the service.

I take strong pride in paying my federal taxes with the expectation that the government initiatives we collectively fund […]

It’s time to abolish ICE | Letter
I’ve read a lot about the tragic death of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, and Victoria Hugo-Vidal’s July 19 column (“Any justice for Johan requires us to abolish ICE”) makes the most sense. Does anyone really think that in America Johan’s death is somehow justified in the bigger picture of getting all the “criminal” immigrants out […]

Touristy Wiscasset can’t have it both ways | Letter
I was recently traveling through Wiscasset when I was in a minor traffic incident. Our trailer clipped the bike rack on another vehicle, so we turned down a side street, off of the busy Route 1 traffic snarl that usually occurs at the intersection by Red’s Eats. As we parked and exited our cars, discussing […]
