    Letter: Like it or not, Mr. Beem, Trump is legitimate president

    Oh Mr. Beem, as Ronald Reagan said, “There you go again.” I could, quite easily, dispute your “facts,” but that doesn’t appear to do any good so I will offer a point of view instead. I was like you. I didn’t want/like Donald Trump as president. I worked a desk job with standard business hours […]

    Letter: Limbaugh made farce of GOP, conservatism

    Is John Balentine trying for irony or absurdity when he bemoans the lack of decency and empathy in America while simultaneously lauding Rush Limbaugh? (“Rush to judgment reveals society’s sad state,” Feb. 12) Until Donald Trump arrived on the scene, Rush Limbaugh was the divider-in chief, attacking anyone and anything that threatened the power and […]

    Letter: Balentine favors regulation only if it suits him personally

    After the regular criticisms against most if not all regulation in his weekly column “Here’s Something,” Balentine has just admitted that he favors at least one regulation: against drones. (“Drone surveillance law needed in Maine,” Feb. 5) Did Balentine misspeak? Did the underworld just freeze over? Or did he just admit that he supports regulation […]

    Letter: Trump re-election would mean end of Affordable Care Act

    While Trump made lots of false or misleading statements during his State of the Union speech, perhaps the most egregious was his promise to protect people with pre-existing conditions from losing health insurance coverage.

Most states abide by federal Indian law, but Maine has been an outlier; its relationship with the Tribes has been more paternalistic. Maine Tribes want the freedom to control their own destiny in order to prosper. Last spring […]
