Letter to the editor: Fossel overlooks value of public ownership
It is a good thing we don’t have columnist Jim Fossel calling the plays (Oct. 1, “Pine Tree Power is a risky scheme with disastrous potential”). Republicans have a knack for making common sense a lot harder than it used to be. He said, “Entrusting politicians to run our electric utilities makes about as much […]

Letter to the editor: Maine needs to update voter records to ensure election integrity
There was a quote from Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows in an Oct. 5 article headlined “Voter rolls become new battleground over secure elections as amateur sleuths hunt fraud.” I found this quote to be quite amusing as Secretary of State Bellows states: “In an era of conspiracies and lies about our elections, integrity […]

Letter to the editor: Portland District 5 candidate Sykes is right to prioritize child care
In 2015, my partner and I moved back to Maine and chose the Riverton neighborhood of Portland to raise our kids in an economically and ethnically diverse community.

Letter to the editor: In Portland’s District 5, Sykes is passionate, hardworking
As I looked into moving back to the Portland area in 2018, Kate Sykes was one of the first and friendliest faces to welcome me. The more I’ve gotten to know Kate, the more I’ve come to appreciate her passion or improving the living conditions of Portland residents and her dogged work ethic, especially when […]

Letter to the editor: Question 2 will send us down the right path
We need the Republican Party to help solve the climate crisis because only a bipartisan solution can be enacted quickly, without danger of being undone after the next election. We saw climate change with our own eyes this summer, and yet the Republican Party now plans to reverse the progress President Biden has made on […]

Letter to the editor: Scary Pine Tree Power proposal stands to harm business
As a longtime advocate for employers and a healthy Maine economy, the Pine Tree Power proposal frightens me. The idea of the government taking over any private company smacks of developing countries nationalizing their industries. It also smells like there’s more to this agenda. What next? Imagine politicians taking over FedEx because a small group […]
