Letter to the editor: God bless the next mayor of Portland
My wife and I attended the home of a friend, whose relative is running for mayor; an opportunity for the candidate to present his position and us to become better acquainted. Listening to him sincerely express his position on current matters it dawned on me that, yes, Portland is in a crisis mode: encampments, homeless, […]

Letter to the editor: Barriers to home building must be removed
This newspaper’s Oct. 8 editorial highlighted the recent report on the lack of housing for Mainers: “The housing shortage is hurting nearly everyone in Maine, holding back an economy and a state that is otherwise ready to grow and prosper. Community leaders can’t sit back and let this happen. If they don’t act in a […]

Letter to the editor: Hunter Biden story given too big a billing
The oversized headline on page A3 of the Oct. 15 Sunday Telegram read: “Investigation into Hunter Biden leading to ethical concerns about president, poll shows.” The very size of the headline, along with the placement of the article in Sunday’s paper, provided unjustifiable credibility to “concerns” about President Biden.

Letter to the editor: Freight rail disaster is not an inevitability

Just go north to Jackman or Holeb, and you will see railroad tracks in fantastic shape, owned by Canadian Pacific Railway. Those tracks […]

Letter to the editor: Unconvinced by concept of public power
The Maine Public Utilities Commission is set up to oversee and regulate utilities. If our utilities are out of control, who is to blame? One obvious answer is elected officials, the same folks we’re being asked to hand total control of the power grid. It’s ridiculous to think that government can effectively oversee and regulate […]

Letter to the editor: An economy can’t prosper without investment
A recent letter to the editor was off the mark in denigrating “Bidenomics,” Roosevelt’s New Deal and Johnson’s “Great Society” efforts (“Letter to the editor: ‘Bidenomics’ has learned nothing from past failures,” Oct. 11). All three initiatives involved investing in the American people or in the underpinnings of a robust economy. The Great Depression saw […]

Letter to the editor: Stop looking for reasons for conflict; stop the conflict
Can we just stop? Can we please stop the killing? Can we please stop trying to find a good reason to back Israel? Can we please stop trying to find a good reason to back the Palestinians? Those are not Israeli babies. They are not Palestinian babies. They are babies. They are innocent babies who […]
