Letter to the editor: Snyder will help resolve Portland City Hall conflicts
Observing the City Council over the past few years brings to mind a dysfunctional family, showing an inability to listen, or sometimes even to speak, to each other, and allowing petty grievances to dictate votes on policy. I suggest that the conflict that has been displayed before voters is more a result of a new […]

Letter to the editor: Strimling shrugs off concerns over essential city services
Mayor Ethan Strimling knocked on my door Thursday evening, seeking my vote. “No,” I said. “Why?” “Potholes.” His face registered confusion, flummoxed that anyone would care about potholed streets.

Letter to the editor: Teens, adults can combat climate change by limiting consumption
I don’t blame teenagers across the country being concerned about their lives as a result of climate change (“Most American teens are frightened by climate change, poll shows,” Sept. 16).
