Letter to the editor: The simple approach: Just take the check and cash it
I am admittedly politically naive and perhaps a little slow, but I do not understand why our president, Donald John Trump, is wasting time talking with Sen. Chuck Schumer about funding a border wall. Simply cash the check that came from Mexico. Paul L. Beach Kennebunk

Letter to the editor: Lawmakers urged to vote no on tax credit for General Dynamics
As the 128th Maine Legislature considers the merits of L.D. 1781, I urge all legislators to vote no on this $60 million give-away to a company whose revenue for 2017 is projected to be between $31.35 billion and $31.4 billion. General Dynamics pays its CEO over $20 million a year. It does not need the […]

Letter to the editor: Legislature needs to stop ignoring will of the people
I’m a person who collected many signatures to put ranked-choice voting on the ballot in 2016 and who is still collecting signatures for a people’s veto of the actions of the Legislature to ignore the will of the people when the people passed the ranked-choice voting law. One of the more interesting experiences I have […]

Letter to the editor: Human trafficking deserves more attention from lawmakers
I’m writing today to raise awareness of human trafficking, which is prevalent in our state and nation. Numerous individuals are being held captive for slave labor, sex, drug proliferation and other problematic purposes.

Letter to the editor: Gov. LePage should address the effects of net neutrality on businesses
For a governor who is supposedly pro-business, Paul LePage is uncharacteristically quiet on the Federal Communications Commission’s recent repeal of net neutrality regulations. Eliminating net neutrality rules so that broadband providers can block sites that do not pay them more for the privilege is just like asking those who drive on our highways to pay […]

Letter to the editor: ‘Patriotic decency’ will stop Trump and the elected officials who choose ignorance
Donald Trump is a dangerous, self-serving, narcissistic nightmare for this country and the world. The real source of disgust, however, is those flag-waving elected officials from the “law and order” party who are ignoring the clear and present danger of foreign interference in our elections and simultaneously trashing our institutions and truly patriotic men and […]

Letter to the editor: New tax law bonus is nice but likely lacks longevity
President Trump has been crowing incessantly about the rise in the stock markets. Hasn’t anyone told him than many of us simply don’t hold portfolios that reflect the gains? With salaries of $15 per hour, which is high for many sectors, families don’t have much left over to put into individual retirement accounts or to […]

Letter to the editor: Gov. LePage values state’s beauty – when it fits with his agenda
I’m confused as to where Gov. Le-Page stands on the environment. Let me explain my dilemma. Not too long ago, LePage was practically the only governor on the Eastern Seaboard who was in favor of oil exploration along the East Coast all the way from Florida to our pristine Gulf of Maine waters. He wasn’t […]

Letter to the editor: Courageous gymnasts offer hope to sexual assault survivors
Light must be shed on the patterns that have led institutional leaders to turn a blind eye to abuse, making it harder for victims to come forward.
