Letter to the editor: Critic fails to make case against drug-importation bill
Piggybacking off Canada’s system isn’t a long-term solution, but it will show that Maine is serious about cutting costs.

Letter to the editor: Timely, lively UNE forum wraps up 10th season with lecture Monday
Congratulations to the University of New England’s Center for Global Humanities upon reaching the end of its 10th anniversary year, under the superb direction of Anouar Majid. Through these lectures, I have broadened my horizons in many different areas. Majid has the uncanny ability to schedule lectures that are extremely timely even though he does […]

Letter to the editor: The real impeachable offense is Trump’s inaction on climate change
I suspect I am not the only person fed up with all the hype, speculation, semi-facts, fake news, reasonable doubt, redactions and hypertensive blathering about the Mueller report, collusion and “possible” obstruction of justice. Not that the charges didn’t need to be investigated, but wasn’t it predictable that the conclusion would only be more noise? […]

Letter to the editor: Football schedule isolates Sanford
They’ll be playing just one other York County team, making it harder to build community and school spirit.

Letter to the editor: At State House or on stage, there’s reason for applause
I was delighted to read recently about the first 100 days of Janet Mills’ governance (April 15). The enthusiasm and energy of her inauguration speech continue, and I suspect will endure. It seems the gloom is gone, an’ spring has sprung. “Under the dome” – and all over Maine! I particularly noted Sen. Troy Jackson’s […]

Letter to the editor: Chamberlain took on personal as well as battlefield challenges
Re: “Should this Ghost of Paul Revere song be Maine’s new state ballad?” (April 12): This article was definitely thought-provoking. I can understand how Griffin Sherry, the writer of “The Ballad of the 20th Maine,” wanted to write about a foot soldier from Maine in the Battle of Gettysburg rather than hero Gen. Joshua Chamberlain. […]

Letter to the editor: Collins should use leverage to help hold Trump accountable
Instead of upholding the mantle of ‘equal under the law,’ she’s acting as if she has no clout.

Letter to the editor: Swamped Presumpscot canoeists grateful for anglers’ help
My grandmother and I were canoeing down the Presumpscot River. Last year, I did the same thing with my dad and the rapids were a lot smaller. So, when we went down what was just ripples last year, we hit a wave that started to fill our canoe. I knew what was happening, so I […]

Letter to the editor: Manager’s proposed budget would leave vulnerable Portlanders behind
On April 8, Portland City Manager Jon Jennings gave a public presentation about his proposed fiscal year 2020 city budget. I say “his” budget, because he is responsible for drafting the budget that is reviewed by the City Council and the public. This is a tremendous amount of power for one unelected official to hold […]

Letter to the editor: Democrats, independents should now look toward recapturing White House
I state up front that I’m a Democrat, but I’m an independent thinker and voter. This is directed to our Maine Democratic and independent elected officials. The Mueller report is in and the results are mixed. I’m glad there was no criminal conspiracy! The non-decision by Robert Mueller about obstruction will be debated for decades. […]
