Letters to the editor, April 4, 2001:Blodgett couldn’t teach greatness
So, Cindy Blodgett is gone – gone from her alma mater, fired from her job as head coach of the University of Maine women’s basketball team. The greatest female basketball player that Maine has ever had – and one of the greatest players in any sport ever produced by the state of Maine – discovered […]

Letters to the editor, April 3, 2001:Nuclear power too dangerous
Are we still thinking of continuing with nuclear power? It routinely emits harmful and unnatural radioactive elements — not to mention accidents! As a former state representative and member of the Utilities Committee, I am aware that on our coast we must keep watch over Maine Yankee’s high-level waste. Worldwide, there’s no safe place to […]

Letters to the editor, April 2, 2011This Democrat unhappy with Obama
Barack Obama is not the person who is going to bring the change this country so badly needs. There is anger from the tea party, but there is also anger from Democrats like myself who feel betrayed. As long as both major parties are successful at keeping the tea partiers and the progressives railing against […]

More letters to the editor, April 2, 2011Rail or trail best use for Mountain Division line?
Having read Joan B. Saxe’s letter of March 28, “Mountain Division best used for trains,” I must say that I agree for the most part in what the Sierra Club of Maine advocates.

Letters to the editor:LePage’s critics go over the top
OK, I get it. After reading your paper for the past 40 years, I understand the press has very little good to say about any Republicans. I also understand that Bill Nemitz is your “in-house, left wing liberal provocateur.” It is clear that Mr. Nemitz has an agenda and promotes it while getting paid as […]

Letters to the Editor: Mural’s dismantling causes readers pain
The ordered removal from state's Department of Labor lobby of the mural about the history of working people in Maine is startling. So is the changing the names of rooms honoring a good diversity of important figures in Maine history. The building concerned is the Department of Labor, not the Department of Commerce or Management.

Letters to the editor, March 30, 2011:Passionate reactions to Maine mural removal
The LePage administration's action to remove the Labor Department mural and replace the names on some doors is anti-labor, plain and simple.<br><br> To defend the action by claiming that a "balanced" approach is needed is hogwash. The name of the department is not the "Labor and Business" Department.<br><br> From Wikipedia: "The purpose of the Department of Labor (DOL) is to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.

Letters to the editor, March 29, 2011Protect students from spending cuts
Both articles and letters written by many on all sides of the political spectrum seem to be misinformed about how to cut, tighten or even change how much money is spent by government at all levels. From school administrators to state lawmakers to senators in Washington, most Americans believe that we must expand in all […]

Letters to the editor, March 28, 2011:Mountain Division best used for trains
The current controversy over the Mountain Division railroad upgrade and putting funding for it on hold so a trail could be finished raises questions, as The Press Herald has pointed out, about the importance of “boosting our economy,” the need for alternative methods of transportation and the compatibility of trails and rails now and in […]
