Letter to the editor: It’s time to cut subsidies to booming defense industry
Regarding whether the state of Maine – we, the taxpayers – should agree to enlarge the wealth of an already wealthy defense contractor, General Dynamics, we need to look at the big picture. This is not 1997, when General Dynamics bought Bath Iron Works and was a much smaller company. It was then arguably sensible […]

Letter to the editor: Tax credits give BIW a chance to win more work
Bath Iron Works is part of a very competitive industry, much more competitive than it was in years past. We’re doing what we can to work smarter and become more efficient. We have a young workforce that is getting more talented and experienced with each passing month. We are investing more than $100 million in […]

Letter to the editor: Promoting Somali culture in Maine important, useful
I was very disappointed to learn about the cancellation of Tuesday’s visit to the World Affairs Council of Maine by His Excellency Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, former president of Somalia. This is yet another problem caused by the misguided immigration policies of President Trump. President Hassan was denied a visa under Executive Order 13769, “Protecting the […]

Letter to the editor: Why was Final Four favored over Frozen Four?
In Monday’s sports coverage, there was a lot about the Final Four (basketball) and nothing about the Frozen Four (hockey). So, my question is: Why would Kansas, Villanova, Loyola-Chicago and Michigan be more important to your readers than Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan and Minnesota-Duluth? Robert Woodbury Winslow

Letter to the editor: We should stop fiddling and demand an impeachment
Donald Trump is becoming even more impulsive and erratic as special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation knocks at his door. It must be getting harder and harder for Trump to resist firing Mueller. And the news of further evidence of collusion, corruption and obstruction of justice continues to mount. Increasingly, this corruption and collusion are endangering […]

Letter to the editor: Voting for Dr. Linda Sanborn would help bring back civil discourse, end divisiveness
I have watched with increasing dismay the negative trajectory of political dialogue in our country as it becomes ever more destructive with each passing day. I am old enough to remember when political parties observed some standards of decency in their campaign rhetoric. Starting this November, I want to see a return to civil discourse […]

Letter to the editor: Mass shootings preventable, but voters must demand it
Mass shootings were rare in our country before 1963, when the AR-15 was first introduced. Since the mid-1960s, we’ve seen 150 mass shootings. I expect we will always have guns in our society, but why do we need the guns that make it so easy to kill so many, so quickly? In 1986, Congress outlawed […]

Letter to the editor: Security at many Maine schools is still too lax, needs our attention
The March for Our Lives showed how our children were and are able to tackle issues that have gone unsolved as the National Rifle Association has maintained a stranglehold on many of our politicians through huge donations to their political campaigns. However, there are things we can do right now to keep our children safer […]

Letter to the editor: We accept reasonable limits on hunting guns, so why not others?
It makes no sense to have firearm rules for protecting wildlife but then oppose efforts to make changes that will protect our children.
