Letter to the editor: A jingle in support of Pine Tree Power
In the long but somewhat faded tradition of campaign songs (think “Charlie on the MTA”), I’ve written a jingle in support of Question 3 on the November ballot. To be sung to the tune of an old Robert Hall radio ad (if anyone remembers that one): When the prices go up up up, And the […]

Letter to the editor: In Israeli-Palestinian conflict, might cannot make right
Since fighting broke out between Hamas and Israel, many have called for “moral clarity,” including Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken. But the expression can be easily hijacked and used to assuage consciences and to legitimize actions that are repugnant to most concepts of morality. There is little doubt that the Hamas attack involved acts […]

Letter to the editor: Column rightly criticized calls for more development
All my 70 years of life as a Maine resident, I’ve been confused that expansion, development, more pavement and more jobs and more people equals progress.

What made America work in the past was that we forged compromise out of the notion that we are stronger together than apart, and that dialogue […]

Letter to the editor: We can’t let school-age vaping get any worse
After reading an article in the Press Herald last month about the challenges schools face with vaping, my heart ached (“School districts grapple with vaping in high schools,” Sept. 12). As a mother of three, I’ve seen firsthand the allure of these flavored tobacco products. It’s heartbreaking to think that companies are using flavors to […]

Letter to the editor: Too much uncertainty with Pine Tree Power
Question 3, the Pine Tree Power referendum, would establish a state authority to buy the assets of Maine’s two largest electric utilities, CMP and Versant. When I was serving in the Maine Senate, similar legislation was proposed and there were also many unanswered questions then. Those questions remain: What will be the acquisition cost? The […]

Letter to the editor: In an emergency, who is responsible for Maine’s most vulnerable?
Too many Mainers cannot keep themselves safe in an emergency. The elderly, the poor, the disabled and the ill always experience the highest rates of injury and death in disasters. And yet, our local emergency responders do not know who these residents are and are not prepared to help those with special needs either evacuate […]
