Todd Blanche does not belong in such a critical role | Letter
The attorney general is our nation’s top law enforcement position. The person in that role leads the Department of Justice, including the FBI, and is supposed to be an “independent” force for upholding the rule of law. Donald Trump clearly thinks otherwise, and once again, is attempting to place a non-credentialed person in a role […]
We’re skipping Maine because Maine supported Platner | Letter
My wife and I have been visiting Maine, leaf peeking, for 22 years. We spend a great deal of money and eat lots of lobster. Red’s Eats in Wiscasset and Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster in Freeport are among our favorites. This year we rented a cottage near Harraseeket, as it is short drive to L.L. […]
Patients mourn loss of Fairfield eye center | Letter

As a now former volunteer leader with the Graham Platner campaign and former state convention delegate, this month has been filled with immeasurable disappointment.

The contempt from the Maine Democrats and self-proclaimed moderates in the party has been […]
We must return to decency and civility in politics | Letter
Enough swearing, enough insulting others.
With Trump’s record, no other president would still be in office | Letter
In the 1788 Federalist No. 47, James Madison wrote, “… the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands … may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” Because our Supreme Court and Congress refuse to hold Trump accountable for his actions, this country has devolved into tyranny. The glue that has held […]
The senator Patrick Dempsey seems to want is Susan Collins | Letter
Empathy, dignity and leadership? I know where to look.
