Letter to the editor: Politicians play games as deficit increases
We the people don’t agree on what government should do. Democrats push, Republicans pull, add in other interest groups and well – it’s complicated. Perhaps the best indicator of what we want federal government to do is its budget. Don’t look for an actual federal budget – parties haven’t been able to agree on one […]

Letter to the editor: Maine workers deserve to have option of paid family medical leave
A bill recently before the Maine Legislature would have created a paid family medical leave system.

Letter to the editor: Fox News, Sean Hannity push politics into land of the bizarre
Let’s hope and pray that the Supreme Court justices remain healthy and committed for three or more years, in case Sean Hannity is enrolled in some online law school. Of course, there is always Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano standing in the wings. I’ve observed presidential politics since Herbert Hoover defeated Al Smith in 1928, […]

Letter to the editor: Conscientious consumers can reduce plastic waste in our oceans
Nearly 9 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean from coastlines every year, scientists say, or a truckload per minute. Marine life and birds consume it as microplastics, and in turn so do we; and they consume it whole and are killed. On land, plastic trash litters our roads and fields and fills up […]

Letter to the editor: Gov. LePage must end cruel crusade against Medicaid expansion
Imagine that you don’t have access to health insurance. How would you manage if, every day, you worried about affording your medication for chronic pain, or a congenital condition? What if you worked more than one job, struggling to put food on the table for your family, but couldn’t afford to see a doctor when […]

Letter to the editor: Scarborough recall group should make clear who it supports for school board seats
A small but vocal group of Scarborough High School parents is working toward a recall of three members of our Board of Education, in an effort to sway votes during a dispute between the school principal and the superintendent.

Letter to the editor: A desperate Trump who ignores his advisers poses danger to the world
We have much to fear. Our president has demonstrated he has the morality of a barnyard rooster, the maturity of a child, the intellectual honesty of a self-indulged narcissist and the emotional stability of a playground bully.

Letter to the editor: Make your voice heard on funding for bills to treat opioid users
Maine has set a precedent by finally recognizing that something needs to be done about the epidemic of drug poisonings in our communities, which resulted in 418 deaths in 2017. The Maine House and Senate have passed several measures over the last month that meaningfully address this issue, including L.D. 1711, which looks at the […]
