Letter to the editor: Letter writer’s notion about Muslims raises questions
In his Sept. 27 letter to the editor (“Secular democracy won’t work with Muslim leader”), Mr. Walter J. Eno avers that believing Muslims are disqualified from “the essentially secular office of the presidency” because “he or she would be obligated to adhere to the eternal, divine and immutable teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.” Would a […]

Letter to the editor: Lyons would bring modern approach to Portland City Council
I support Wells Lyons for City Council to help Portland navigate its current challenges, starting with the spike in opiate addiction and overdoses. Even those unsympathetic to addicts see the urgency of minimizing the costs of crime, expensive ER visits, and drug-exposed babies. Reduce harm, save lives, and preserve our reputation as a safe city […]

Letter to the editor: Mayor of Lewiston intends to shame public assistance recipients
How appalling to see the Lewiston mayor’s proposal to publicly list public assistance recipients with the obvious intent to shame them. (If it were really to see where our tax dollars go, we could be listing all the people with property tax abatements, or a home mortgage interest deduction!) He thinks nothing of the harm […]

Letter to the editor: Lewiston mayor hard-hearted toward the needy
Your article on the mayor of Lewiston was quite upsetting. The mayor wants to put the “mark of Cain” on the poor. Isn’t it ironic that in the middle of the visit of Pope Francis – an advocate for the underclasses and refugees – has the mayor turning a deaf ear and hard heart to […]

Letter to the editor: Newspaper should also have focused on Jewish holidays
As a subscriber and daily reader of your newspaper. I was dismayed that there was not a single mention much less a photograph of the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur in the paper. At the same time I noticed plenty of coverage of the pope’s visit to this country, which is as […]

Letter to the editor: Bernie Sanders addresses issues raised by pope
One of the lessons we can take away from the visit of Pope Francis is that it shows the stark contrast between his humility and caring for the poor to that of most of our politicians running for the presidency. They display their pettiness by exchanging insults and by their support of income inequality, opposing […]
