Letters to the editor: Replies to the 47 percent comment
“Presidential candidate Mitt Romney told donors Wednesday that he cares about the poor and middle class” (“Romney: I care about the poor and middle class,” Sept. 19), but his obvious disdain for the 47 percent of American citizens who “are dependent upon government … for food, housing, you-name-it” sounds remarkably similar to the policy of […]

Letters to the editor: Readers tread on E-ZPass ease, fees
Every weekend, I travel from Westbrook to Bangor to visit my elderly mother. I enter the turnpike at exit 48, take the Falmouth spur to I-295 and re-enter the turnpike at the Gardiner barrier. I return via 295 and take the Falmouth spur back to the turnpike. The round trip costs me $5 in tolls, […]

Letters to the editor: Some men still deny women’s rights
Responding to a commentary by Richard Traynor in the Portland Press Herald on Sept. 4: Another View, “U.S. will eventually restore right to life for the unborn.” I am not a woman, but it is sad to think that men like Mr. Traynor not only wish to take away all women’s rights achieved since the […]

More letters to the editorKing in Congress would be a blow to partisan logjam
I sometimes feel like, as a political science major at the University of Maine at Farmington, it is a real lousy time to get into politics. For the past couple years, our government, both at national and state levels, has been inflicted with a bitterly partisan atmosphere that has done more harm than good. In […]

Letters to the editorAd inaccurate on state credit rating
As state treasurer, my job does not include commenting on political advertisements. However, it does require that I defend and help enhance Maine state government’s vitally important credit rating. Entrepreneurs use these objective measurements to help assess state business climates in deciding where to start/expand their companies, and to create jobs. Investors rely on credit […]

More letters to the editor: Candidates, ballot question elicit range of opinions
The Portland Press Herald got it right on the Sept. 7 front page: “Obama: ‘I’ll get us to a better place.'” Gee, isn’t that what religious people say when someone dies? “He’s in a better place now.” And Obama’s just the person to carry out the execution. Obama finally got something right, too — in […]

Letters to the editor: Turnpike drivers fume at jump in tolls
What in the world is the Maine Turnpike thinking? I received a letter from them today saying they are doing away with the commuter program and replacing it with a “discount” program. In my situation, it increases my cost by almost $200 per quarter. I was paying $100 per quarter to use the turnpike from […]

Letters to the editor: School probe raises key questions
Kudos to the Maine Sunday Telegram and Colin Woodard for the report on the forces trying to bring digital education to Maine (“The profit motive behind virtual schools in Maine,” Sept. 2). This is a great bit of reporting, and I hope to see more such in-depth stories down the road. I am very concerned […]
