Letter to the editor: Hamas has no regard for human life
On Oct. 7, Hamas launched a savage and cruel attack on Israeli civilians. Hamas barbarians slaughtered unarmed concertgoers. At point-blank range, they murdered men, women and children in their homes and on the streets. They kidnapped hundreds of men and women, some of whom are elderly and infirm, and also children. They have raped and […]

Letter to the editor: Attack on Gaza an attempt to eradicate its people
The Hamas attack does not justify Israel’s brutal retaliation – but Israel has been enforcing a policy of apartheid and human rights violations for decades. Are the Palestinians just supposed to lie down and take it in that open-air prison called Gaza until they are all crushed out of existence? Israel’s policies toward Palestinians are […]

Letter to the editor: Scarborough kids deserve consolidated school
On Sept. 2, 2023, I landed what will undoubtedly be the best job I will ever have: motherhood. The last five weeks have been a whirlwind, but what has resonated with me the most is how thankful I am to have moved back to Scarborough to be surrounded by family and friends. I have been […]

Letter to the editor: Legislator pays lip service to bipartisanship in Augusta
I read with interest Rep. Sally Cluchey’s recent column (Sept. 24). She expresses her disappointment for a lack of recognition of bipartisan accomplishments during the last legislative session. Bipartisanship is undoubtedly something to celebrate, but it’s equally important to scrutinize the actions behind the words. As a constituent, I wish to focus on some inconsistencies […]

Letter to the editor: Scarborough school proposal as good as it gets
I am writing in support of the unified school project in Scarborough. I recently came across a letter to the editor that suggested that temporary solutions, while not perfect, would “buy us a year while we figure out a better solution.” It’s important to note that this school project was originally conceived in 2014 and […]

Letter to the editor: Benefits of the beach belong to all
In a recent letter to the editor (“Make room on Moody Beach for all,” Oct. 8), the writer urged local and state governments to reclaim the public access to beaches that was taken away by a shortsighted Maine Supreme Judicial Court decision in 1989. I agree. Beaches are a rare commodity – less than 1% […]

Letter to the editor: Tired of scaremongering over cost of Pine Tree Power
The initial investment will be more than covered by the ratepayer savings over the next three decades.

Letter to the editor: Andrew Zarro should be Portland’s next mayor
On a recent September evening, mayoral candidate Andrew Zarro took the time to talk to my family, friends and neighbors about some of his priorities: making Portland an affordable place to live, tackling the homelessness problem and leading the fight against climate change. It is evident from the moment one meets Andrew that he is […]

Letter to the editor: Pine Tree Power is a radical and costly experiment
Question 3 (Pine Tree Power) in the upcoming election is a shaky proposition that raises more questions than it answers. Nobody knows exactly how much it will cost. Most agree it will take billions of dollars to buy out the electric utilities. If adopted, it will likely take between five and 10 years of litigation […]

Letter to the editor: Courage needed to elect moderate House speaker
It is time for extraordinary courage among moderate Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives. They could join with Democrats and elect a moderate speaker, thereby breaking the power of the Trumpist, extremist right. Shockingly, they would have to negotiate security for themselves to protect from the onslaught of former President Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric […]
