Letter to the editor: Andrew Zarro should be Portland’s next mayor
On a recent September evening, mayoral candidate Andrew Zarro took the time to talk to my family, friends and neighbors about some of his priorities: making Portland an affordable place to live, tackling the homelessness problem and leading the fight against climate change. It is evident from the moment one meets Andrew that he is […]

Letter to the editor: Pine Tree Power is a radical and costly experiment
Question 3 (Pine Tree Power) in the upcoming election is a shaky proposition that raises more questions than it answers. Nobody knows exactly how much it will cost. Most agree it will take billions of dollars to buy out the electric utilities. If adopted, it will likely take between five and 10 years of litigation […]

Letter to the editor: Courage needed to elect moderate House speaker
It is time for extraordinary courage among moderate Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives. They could join with Democrats and elect a moderate speaker, thereby breaking the power of the Trumpist, extremist right. Shockingly, they would have to negotiate security for themselves to protect from the onslaught of former President Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric […]

Letter to the editor: Where are the moderate Republicans?
It’s unclear why the Republicans who don’t belong to the Freedom Caucus can’t find a compromise House speaker candidate.

Letter to the editor: Let’s dig deeper on the question of addiction
I appreciated the recent call to acknowledge Portland’s “addiction problem” (“Maine Voices: Portland needs to admit that it has an addiction problem,” Oct. 10). But I’d like to invite the author and other community members to dig one layer deeper. Addiction is a viable solution to a bigger problem: deep pain and suffering. While we definitely […]

Letter to the editor: Advertising should not dictate Maine’s energy future
Why should we trust a utility company ranked at the bottom of the heap by a nationally recognized rating organization? Why trust the same for spending millions for subverting the electoral will of Mainers? Maine voters should wake up to the fact that whatever their energy future could be, it is being bought by investors […]

Having known Mark personally for several years, I can attest to his unwavering dedication to our community and his outstanding leadership qualities. Mark’s extensive experience as a former state representative and senator, as well as his time serving […]

Letter to the editor: Let’s show CMP we’re paying attention
How dumb does Central Maine Power think we are? It’s spending millions on ads that try to scare us with dire predictions about how Pine Tree Power wouldn’t work. It’s trying to confuse us with an inflated purchase cost and suggestions that “politicians” would be running the new company. It thinks we don’t remember living […]

Letter to the editor: Car dealerships don’t deserve special privilege
When one buys a vehicle, they own it. Car dealerships are attempting to control repairs, which will eventually put car-part companies out of business. Instead of buying a part for $50 and fixing it yourself, you’ll be required to pay $500 at a dealership. I highly recommend voting “yes” on Question 4, the right-to-repair law. […]
