Letter to the editor: Tax reform bill a rushed disaster, and Americans deserve better
The tax bill that Sen. Susan Collins supported is very bad in many ways and will hurt low- and middle-income taxpayers and nonprofits while rewarding corporations and the rich. To jam through such important legislation hastily put together without bipartisan participation and without thoughtful analysis of its effects is just plain wrong. So is including […]

Letter to the editor: Lower taxes, less regulation under Trump will help businesses, nation
It is sad that the Democrats promote over-regulation and overtaxation of domestic corporations, asserting that they are greedy, grasping and unresponsive entities that must be regulated. Of course, most of these elected officials have never met a payroll. President Barack Obama promoted open borders here but wanted American corporations to compete worldwide under different rules, […]

Letter to the editor: Trump’s anti-Muslim actions outrageous whether tweeted or stated aloud
Just because it is a tweet doesn’t make it small. Just because he tweets constantly doesn’t mean that this is not exceptionally outrageous. Just because it is a retweet doesn’t mean it does not fully represent him. When President Trump shared the racist, intentionally inflammatory anti-Muslim videos, we should be reacting to them in the […]

Letter to the editor: Rep. Poliquin and Sen. Collins turn their backs on constituents
I’m writing to express my disappointment with both Sen. Susan Collins and Rep. Bruce Poliquin for promoting and voting in favor of tax bills that ultimately will add $1.5 trillion to America’s debt. This debt will threaten Social Security and Medicaid eventually and threaten the fiscal welfare of Maine and the U.S. Both of these […]

Letter to the editor: Let’s hope harassment scandals reduce ‘boys will be boys’ conduct
All those guilty of sexual harassment in the past must be shaking and quaking in their skivvies, wondering if they will be inducted as a member of the elite “Boys Will Be Boys” Club, excusing all inappropriate behavior. Is it shocking news when another celebrity name slithers out? Not any more. We just like to […]

Letter to the editor: Many men generously mentor women and treat them with respect
In support of all the brave people speaking up about experiences with rude male behavior, I want to add a beacon of hope. That is, I want to mention three men who were wonderful mentors to me when I was a young woman. All three led very public lives, and they were gentlemen. One was […]

Letter to the editor: Ocean acidification bill gets Rep. Poliquin’s support
The Nov. 19 Maine Sunday Telegram article regarding ocean acidification draws attention to the quiet disaster that accompanies rapid warming in the Gulf of Maine. The excess carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere interacts chemically with other ocean components and prevents the formation of calcium carbonate needed for mollusks and other species to build strong […]

Letter to the editor: Tax policy and economic growth don’t always correlate
Regardless how the current debate on tax reform is ultimately resolved, all of us need to acknowledge that the relationship between tax policy and economic growth is not an absolute correlation, as Rick Duffy (Procter & Gamble plant manager in Auburn) wrote in his Nov. 30 letter. Without getting into the weeds of economic theory, […]
