Letter to the editor: USM president was wrong to have 3 paintings removed from exhibit
I am an exhibiting artist in the show currently at the Atrium Gallery at the University of Southern Maine Lewiston-Auburn College. I have told the show’s curator, Janice Moore, that I oppose USM President Glenn Cummings’ decision to remove three paintings from the exhibit. I therefore told her to remove my painting as my protest […]

Letter to the editor: CMP now acts in its own self-interest, not for the benefit of Mainers
Few things are more “Maine” than Central Maine Power. The orange trucks, the heroic efforts of line workers striving 24/7 to get us back online during blizzards and nor’easters and, yes, safety commercials warning that “no line is safe to touch, evah.” However, as a company, CMP has proven itself entirely uninterested in the needs […]

Letter to the editor: For his leadership, vision and sensibility, put Adam Cote on path to governorship
The people of Maine need Democrat Adam Cote as our next governor. Our state possesses abundant natural and human resources and the capacity to attract people, enterprises and investment to propel us into the 21st century. To achieve all this, we need proven leadership, demonstrated understanding of Maine and our potential, and a capacity to […]

Letter to the editor: At dog shelters, decisions on adoptability, euthanasia are not clear-cut
Shelter staff and the canine's history play roles, but temperament tests are unreliable and it's often hard to distinguish animals that are adoptable from ones that are not.

Letter to the editor: Richard Rottkov has earned your vote for the House District 32 seat
As we get closer and closer to the June 12 primary, I can’t help but think about Maine and the amazing experience I had when I served in the House and the Senate representing the people of South Portland and Cape Elizabeth. I loved that you were willing to stop and talk with me in […]

Letter to the editor: Maine bill to restrict food stamps both harmful to poor and expensive
I applaud the Portland Press Herald for its recent editorial “Our View: On food stamps, don’t follow Maine’s example” (April 30). The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program restrictions proposed in the House’s Farm Bill would harm Maine families. I urge Maine’s congressional delegation to reject these changes. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, about 200,000 […]

Letter to the editor: Experienced, tough Janet Mills would make an excellent governor
Janet Mills, candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, has an incredible background and has served the state of Maine in countless ways. I met her for the very first time when I was running for the Legislature; she volunteered to be my driver when I was knocking on doors to introduce myself to voters. […]

When scrutiny of care was warranted, her budget slashed it.

Letter to the editor: King does the right thing, but only half of the time
Upon first glance, Sen. Angus King made a moral decision by not supporting Gina Haspel to be director of the CIA. Ms. Haspel’s history of destroying waterboarding evidence is more than disqualifying, especially given the current administration’s stance on torture. However, what appears to be basic common sense from Maine’s junior senator is, unfortunately, far […]

Letter to the editor: Congratulations to Mainers on abysmal voting record
Well, I would say congratulations are in order. First, to the people of Maine for giving us eight years of a governor who doesn’t care about the most vulnerable among us, just the rich and big business. Second, to the people of Maine for giving us Republican “leaders” in the Legislature who obstruct and delay […]
