Letter to the editor: Provisions in federal tax measure will hurt tourism in Maine
My wife and I loved our six-day trip to Maine in 2016. We’d love to come back, but that won’t be happening now that the Republican tax bill appears likely to pass. The many anti-Northeast provisions in the bill (the non-deductibility of state taxes and second-home mortgage interest, limited deductibility of property taxes and taxes […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins poses as a moderate while serving the wealthy
In recent years I have written letters published here strongly criticizing Sen. Susan Collins for posturing as a moderate. In virtually every case involving protect-the-rich, conservative Republican values, she would side with the rich. And every time, this came after she transparently postured as struggling mightily to determine the right thing to do for the […]

Letter to the editor: Senator shows her true colors – thoroughly Republican red
Now that Sen. Susan Collins has once again shown her true colors, can we please not see the words “moderate” and “Collins” in the same sentence again? Steve Champagne Portland

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: Sen. Collins inexplicably backs tax bill that hurts many Mainers
Let's urge the Maine senator to have a change of heart and fight once again for her true constituents, not the wealthy.

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 […]
