Letter to the editor: Trump’s refusal to release tax returns speaks volumes
Given all of the gyrations that Donald Trump has been doing regarding his tax returns, one can legitimately wonder what he has to hide by refusing to release them. Perhaps, if nothing else, it will show his dishonesty in trying to evade his responsibility to pay taxes as the rest of us have to do. […]

Letter to the editor: Use of location data to track Maine traffic raises privacy issues
I have had to stand in a busy road all day, stopping cars to gain origin and destination data for a transportation computer model, and I understand why state and local transportation planners in Maine want the Streetlight system (April 1). But it comes at a potentially very high price, especially if linked to other […]

John Lawrence, Winslow: Hiding out from Mom and Dad
In 1950, when I was 4 and my sister was 3, we were in the Ben Franklin Store on Main Street in Madison, Maine. Our mother had taken us there on a fine fall afternoon while our father was out deer hunting. For little kids, it was a pretty good walk from Nichols Street and […]

Letter to the editor: Resist efforts to roll back protections for clean water
Clean water. It’s an essential need for people as well as fish and wildlife. Here in Maine, clean water is also essential to our economy and our way of life. We have been asked by our God to protect all of Creation, and water is the essential source of all life. That’s why I was […]

Letter to the editor: Ensemble’s performance spurs reflection on a tragedy
My wife and I had the pleasure of attending the April 6 performance of the Casco Bay Wind Symphony. One of the pieces presented, “Into the Silent Land,” was a memorial ode to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting by Steve Danyew (who attended Sandy Hook as a child). It is an […]

Letter to the editor: Park Avenue traffic woes only getting worse
The Park Avenue traffic nightmare continues: • Single-lane traffic, backed up in both directions between Forest Avenue and The Expo – and not just during rush hour. • “No Turn on Red” signs at every corner, which are difficult to see during the day and impossible at night, though most people driving in the area […]

Letter to the editor: Congress to be commended for finally challenging war in Yemen
There is hope in what is a polarized Washington. Last week, Congress made use of their war powers authority for the first time in many years. For too long we have seen the executive branch in both parties arbitrarily make military decisions without consulting with Congress. Finally our elected representatives and senators came together, in […]

Letter to the editor: Collins stopped court from turning conservative
The rejection of Brett Kavanaugh, who seems to be a relative moderate, would have paved the way for a nominee far more to the right.

Letter to the editor: Voters’ discernment cost Poliquin his job
The characterless Bruce Poliquin has shared (April 2) that all Maine voters have been scammed by or have been a part of the scam of ranked-choice voting. His undoing and, apparently, our duplicity. This from a politician! Political incumbents rely on indifference, ignorance of the representative’s real job performance and voter inertia. The 2nd Congressional […]

Letter to the editor: By destroying forest, CMP project would aggravate climate change
Thousands of acres of carbon-sequestering Maine forest would be destroyed if the proposed 145-mile Iberdrola-Central Maine Power power line is approved. Forest and undisturbed soil are the best carbon-sequestering agents known, so their removal would be extremely counterproductive. To make matters worse, just imagine the carbon emitted by all the diesel engine equipment used while […]
