Letter to the editor: ‘Red flag’ bill would help contain gun violence
I am writing this letter to show support of the “red flag” bill currently before the Maine Legislature’s Judiciary Committee. The number of gun homicides and suicides occurring each year in this country is astounding. Many of these acts could be contained with red flag protection orders for family members and others who are at […]

Letter to the editor: Open Maine’s primaries to all voters
According to the Maine secretary of state, roughly 280,000 people voted in Maine’s primary election last year. That may sound like a lot, but in fact it’s only 27 percent of our registered voters. In a state that prides itself on voter turnout, why is it that only a quarter of voters showed up to […]

I’m writing in support of L.D. 1313, the Maine Death with Dignity Act, under consideration in the Maine Legislature. Sadly, I have seen patients, many of them friends, unable to avail themselves of the option to choose to die with dignity. Passage of L.D. 1313 would allow for peace of mind and would eliminate the […]

Letter to the editor: Cleanup collaboration helped pave way for Biddeford’s revival
The story of Biddeford’s revitalization, as told in the March 10 article “Not your parents’ city anymore: Biddeford is now Maine’s youngest,” provides a model for how old mill towns around the region can become thriving, young cities.

Letter to the editor: Climate change issues transcend borders
I support Gov. Mills in the push forward she announced in her recent address (“Mills sets goal to fight climate change: 100% renewable electricity by 2050,” Feb. 28) to help Maine communities adapt to changes in the climate. She is right to work in concert with other states. As many people are aware, the problem […]

Letter to the editor: Market-driven health insurance reforms didn’t work for Mainers
In his recent guest editorial (Another View, March 17), Jonathan McKane, insurance industry ally and former Newcastle legislator, disagreed with Les Fossel (Maine Voices, March 11) that “we have tried everything else” to manage health care costs and should now embrace universal health care. McKane asserts that we should adopt a market-driven approach, as exemplified […]
