Letter to the editor: Tax bill will create more debt and burden students
The current tax bill is a smorgasbord of horrendous ideas. One such horrendous idea is that graduate students should report tuition waivers as income. This is absurd: I am a doctoral student, and I receive a stipend – in exchange for work as a teaching assistant – of $21,000. The college I attend waives my […]

Letter to the editor: Time was when a slap would befit a harasser
As more and more women seem to muster the courage to share their stories of being the targets of unwanted, uninvited and deeply distressing sexually motivated behavior, I can’t help but wonder what ever happened to the good old-fashioned sharp slap to the face.

Letter to the editor: Wells High School could be the Roman Warriors
There’s nothing at all wrong with the team name Warriors (at Wells High School). All you need to do is change the logo. Roman warriors? Greek warriors? Anglo-Saxon warriors? Norman warriors? (You could lift an image from the Bayeux Tapestry!) Jo Cameron Edgecomb

Letter to the editor: Collins must reject ‘reform’ that most benefits wealthy
I urge Sen. Susan Collins to say “no” to the Republican tax proposal. It cannot be justified unless gaining “a” political victory for the president and the Republican-led Congress is more important than any reasonable, rational, thoughtful debate. This tax plan process runs counter to her stated, principled philosophy as a senator: senatorial debate through […]
