Letter to the editor: Reported impact of ending ACA mandate was misleading
Halting the penalties for those who don't sign up for health insurance and giving 13 million Americans a free choice to buy it is not the same as 'losing' coverage.

Letter to the editor: Outside political money paying for misleading pro-Collins ads
Dark money is sponsoring the ads you see thanking Sen. Susan Collins in the papers and on TV. Some of the TV ads are being paid for by America First Policies. This group is made up of six of Donald Trump’s campaign aides, including Brad Parscale, Trump’s digital and data director; Rick Gates and David […]

Letter to the editor: Many thanks, Sen. Collins, for giving the rich a much-needed boost
As one of the few Mainers who will benefit from her vote in favor of the new tax bill, which includes repeal of mandatory health care, I wish to heartily thank Sen. Susan Collins. I am one of the 10 percent who have concrete investments in the stock market ($969,000 on average, according to the […]

Letter to the editor: Forget big tax cuts, improve country’s health safety net instead
I am writing, as a constituent from Scarborough, to ask that Sen. Susan Collins reconsider her support for the current tax bill. I strongly urge her to vote “no.” While the amendments and changes Sen. Collins achieved were admirable, I fear they were nothing more than lipstick on a pig. Furthermore, it is already quite […]

Letter to the editor: Shame on Sen. Collins for abandoning her constituents
I hope there are more millionaires and Fortune 500 companies in Maine than I am aware of, at least for Sen. Susan Collins’ election future. I think she has made it clear that this is her constituency, rather than us rank-and-file Mainers. She has managed to abandon all of us in the middle class, whose […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins better be ready for blowback from tax bill vote
About two weeks ago, my wife and I were visiting Portland for our anniversary. I was up early on Sunday morning, so I ambled down Exchange Street to a local shop for a coffee. A bit later, I was standing next to a complete stranger, passing the milk and sugar. Unlike me, he was on […]

Letter to the editor: Save praise for men working to erase gender disparity
Many recent opinion pieces about sexual harassment and assault contain statements of gratitude to the men who respect women and treat them as equals. But we need to hold men to a higher standard than that. We don’t thank people for not committing murder. You don’t get bonus points for not running red lights. We […]

Arctic cold is fast approaching our city, and it’s time for dog guardians to ensure their animals are safe. Please consider the following to keep Fido safe, warm and dry this winter: • Keep your dog inside as much as possible. After their walk, be sure to clean their paws of snow, ice and salt. […]
