Letters to the editor: Other leaders should follow Rep. Golden’s lead
I want to commend Rep. Jared Golden for publicly changing his stance on the assault weapons ban. He did this not for any political issue, as many have claimed, but for a human issue, a much bigger picture. We are so far beyond “thoughts and prayers.” I am hoping Golden’s action will spur other members of […]

Letter to the editor: Vote ‘yes’ for Pine Tree Power
Since the facts are not on their side, CMP and Versant are relying on fear to make their case to stay in power (pun intended). But it now appears that CMP and Versant are the ones who are afraid. And they should be. Despite the mountains of direct mail, the incessant, annoying and deceptive TV […]

Letter to the editor: Will Lewiston be the slap in the face we need?
We can expect finger-pointing, packed public hearings, impassioned pleas for common-sense legislation – then nothing.

Letter to the editor: We must be able to work together on gun control
Deaths by gun violence continue to ravage this country and now the epidemic has hit close to home. We mourn lost lives and ache for the victims’ friends and families. But we have lacked any real resolve to find ways to reduce the number of deaths. Why can’t we agree to set aside politics and […]

Letter to the editor: Scarborough can improve school proposal
My “no” vote on the $160 million consolidated school bond in Scarborough does not mean that I do not support the town’s schools. It simply means I believe we can do better. The school board came up with a premium proposal, as one would expect. It was the Town Council’s job to review that proposal […]

Letter to the editor: Question 6 gives Maine a chance to stand over its values
Why have three sections of Article X of the Maine Constitution been omitted from the printed version since 1876? Some believe it was an effort to “clean up” the document. Others believe it was an effort to hide the state’s obligations to Wabanaki nations. To me, the reason for the omission is irrelevant. If it […]

Letter to the editor: I want to attend school without fear
The cruel and unwarranted deaths of at least 18 Maine citizens prompted Portland Public Schools to close for the day “out of an abundance of caution.” Mass shootings are no longer so far away; they are almost normalized because they occur so frequently. Eighteen innocent people are dead because our national senators are refusing to […]

Letter to the editor: Pine Tree Power is not good for consumers
I am the person quoted in last week’s column (“Commentary: In debate over Pine Tree Power, utilities should speak for themselves,” Oct. 26) which attempted to denigrate my comments and suggested that CMP or Versant should themselves appear in opposition to this risky gamble. The vote on Pine Tree Power should not be viewed as […]

Letter to the editor: Helicopter parenting does kids a disservice
Ben Bragdon’s recent admonition made an important point in a country where more and more young kids are found to be afraid of their surroundings and unsure of their place in the world (“For their sake, we’ve got to let kids be kids,” Oct. 26). The high levels of U.S. kids with anxiety and lack […]

Letter to the editor: Maine should be leading the way on safer gun laws
When our forefathers wrote the Constitution, people had single-shot weapons and we had no standing army to protect us.
