Letter: Re-elect Rowan to Scarborough council
I am writing to share my support for the re-election of Robert “Will” Rowan to the Scarborough Town Council. I met Robert shortly after moving to Scarborough in 2011. His two daughters are close in age to my daughter and son. Robert was first elected to the Town Council in 2015 and is seeking re-election […]
Letter: Walter is the better candidate in S. Portland's House 32
I am supporting Tammy Walter for House representative for District 32. Tammy, who was the first female president in the club’s history, has shown her grit and determination in the Spurwink Rod and Gun Club’s permitting and licensing saga. There were constant challenges over four years and she stuck with it to resolution. We are […]

The council would benefit from Dan’s ongoing experience working for the […]
Letter: Added funding justified by Falmouth library leaders
If you’re like me, you are frugal and support your community. You may have received the library’s letter explaining how new tariffs and other macroeconomic factors and soil assessments led to needing an additional $500K to complete the library’s renovation. I was personally so confused and surprised that I asked for a meeting with the […]
Letter: Beem erred in reasoning behind Kavanaugh confirmation
In “Our not-so Supreme Court,” Oct. 10, Mr. Beem claims the “nefarious” reason Republicans wanted Justice Kavanaugh confirmed is to help decide Gamble v. United States, so that Trump could pardon “all the criminals in his campaign and administration, without having to worry that state courts would try them separately.” Mr. Beem’s cynical description of […]
Letter: Bath’s DeChant has proven track record

I know she is a hard-working, conscientious representative with a track record of being able to work across the aisle for bipartisan solutions to Maine’s issues. She […]
