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 […]

Letter to the editor: Lousy stewardship of Earth has led to plagues like ticks
Another year has come and gone, or should I say “another tick season”? Well, not really. You see, in the last few weeks we have pulled at least four deer ticks off my husband, and the snow has already fallen once. Living on doxycycline is not a natural thing, although it is becoming more the […]

Letter to the editor: Letter writer perpetuated Trump’s tax-bill lies
Re: “Letter to the editor: Lower taxes, less regulation under Trump will help businesses, nation” (Dec. 6), by Nick Pappas: Mr. Pappas is mistaken on several accounts. It is a frequent lie of the Trump team that U.S. corporations are taxed the highest in the world. According to the Tax Foundation’s 2017 report, while U.S. […]

Letter to the editor: Pups’ visit to UMF more than ‘coddling’
A column chiding the University of Maine at Farmington for targeting student stress was narrow-minded.

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins betrayed us with vote for misguided tax bill
I was disappointed to learn that our senior senator, Susan Collins, cast a key vote in favor of a tax plan that gives massive tax cuts to the wealthy and large corporations, paid for on the backs of small-business owners and the middle class. Sen. Collins claims to be a champion of small businesses, yet […]
