Letter to the editor: Linnell’s qualities will enrich Portland City Council
Do you want a hard-working, capable, experienced Portlander representing you on the City Council? Let me tell you about Bill Linnell. He’s a worker. After graduating from Colby, he immediately began to diverge from his father and grandfather’s career paths, both lawyers. He became a lobsterman, teacher, mentor for at-risk youth, town councilor in Cape […]

Letter to the editor: Why is Maine’s governor opposed to Pine Tree Power?
I do not understand why Gov. Mills felt it necessary to urge citizens to vote against Pine Tree Power in this upcoming election (Sept. 20). It is difficult for me to comprehend her new stance. In 2021, the governor criticized the performance of Maine’s two largest utilities as “abysmal,” citing, in the Press Herald’s paraphrase, […]

Letter to the editor: Come October, remember that human life is sacred
As October dawns, the Catholic Church marks “Respect Life Month,” a time to reflect on the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. This isn’t merely a religious tenet, but a profound recognition of the inherent dignity of every human being. In an age of rapid technological advancement, it’s tempting to redefine life’s boundaries. […]

Letter to the editor: A mayor can only be as good as their council
I watched one of the Portland mayoral debates last week and came to this conclusion: Candidates Dylan Pugh, Pious Ali, Justin Costa and Andrew Zarro are progressive Marxists who have created many of the problems then tell us this is how to solve them – but, in the meantime, move on to create more unsolvable […]

There’s little reason to trust Wolfden Resources, which has applied to rezone nearly 400 acres in northern Penobscot County for a metallic mining operation.

Letter to the editor: Proactive approach key to fighting prostate cancer
As a prostate cancer survivor, I was buoyed by the Sept. 15 Maine Voices column (“Prostate cancer is ‘the good cancer’ – or is it?”). No cancer is good, least of all prostate cancer, whose treatment can be speciously delayed by the old chestnut that a man will die of old age before he dies […]

Letter to the editor: Teachers never know who’s really listening
As a retired teacher (Thornton Academy, 1975 to 2007, and University of Southern Maine’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, 2010 to 2020), I enjoyed reading about a Sanford teacher – Bill Ferguson – who turned a student on to poetry and changed that student’s life by enriching it (“Maine Voices: Remember the inestimable power of a […]

Letter to the editor: Voter registration coverage overlooks citizenship verification
While the Sept. 16 article “Groups hope to lift Muslim voter registration with events in Portland and Lewiston” mentioned two times that only American citizens are permitted to vote, it made me curious as to how these voter registration groups establish the citizenship status of the people they register. At the risk of being called […]

Letter to the editor: My path to surviving aggressive prostate cancer
Prostate cancer PSA tests are not obsolete (Maine Voices, Sept. 15). I’m alive because our Brunswick hospital lab made an error. At every annual examination before 1994, my prostate-specific antigen blood test was 3.5. My doctor said that was OK. Then the lab lost my PSA sample, so another was submitted. The lab found the […]
