I’m writing to endorse Chris Kessler as Maine state representative for House District 32 in the June 12 Democratic primary. Chris has been a resident of South Portland for over 10 years. Throughout that time I have witnessed him tackle difficult local issues. Without any outside impetus, Chris founded the South Portland Tenants Association. Through […]

Letter to the editor: Press Herald has a problem to fix: Sporadic delivery of newspaper
Local newspapers are going out of business or laying off their reporters, photographers and other staff. On the very page on which I am composing this message, you proclaim “Wake up to the local news you need.” However, there is no need for me to be rallying for the print media if my local newspaper […]

Letter to the editor: Candidate Adam Cote gets things done, wants to make a difference in state he loves
In the upcoming election, voters have a unique opportunity to choose a governor who will build the kind of future that Mainers deserve.

Letter to the editor: If you want the best among us to be the next governor, vote for Adam Cote
In the Democratic primary for governor on June 12, I will be voting for Adam Cote. I first met Adam as a young man 25 years ago. It was easy even then to discern in him the virtues that have marked his adult life. He has keen intelligence. He is a great listener. His approach […]

Letter to the editor: Town of Denmark, state officials letting public safety problem fester
I have lived in Denmark, a beautiful community, since 1985. At the end of my road, in place since 1963 (by a subdivision plan submitted to Oxford County and approved by the town in 1963), there was a cul-de-sac. My house is the next to the last on Shore Road. Two years ago, a neighbor […]

Letter to the editor: Wait for decision on H-2B worker visas leaves Maine businesses in limbo
With record-low unemployment in Maine, many seasonal businesses are struggling to know how to staff for the summer because of the lack of temporary seasonal workers. In past years, the H-2B seasonal temporary worker program has allowed businesses to fill vacant peak-season jobs if local workers were not available. Because of an outdated and arbitrary […]

Letter to the editor: Accomplished Kelcy McNamara deserves your vote in House District 21
As a constituent of the 21st District, I write to endorse Democrat Kelcy McNamara for the Maine House of Representatives in the June 12 primary. I have known Kelcy McNamara for almost 20 years, and in that time, she has proven herself to be driven, community-oriented and civic-minded. Many of us see great need in […]

Letter to the editor: Development is harming character, historical legacy of Munjoy Hill
The 2015 changes to zoning, meant to encourage much-needed housing development on Munjoy Hill, are changing the neighborhood in ways that undermine community and destroy the historical legacy embedded in the Hill and its buildings. Too many working-class homes and multi-units with affordable rentals are being torn down and replaced with high-priced condos or single-family […]
