Letter to the editor: Sen. King favors unconstitutional limits on presidential powers
Re: “Sen. King: Impeachment acquittal would shift power to White House” (Jan. 27, Page B4): While not surprised that the “independent” Sen.

To suggest that a president utilizing his […]

Letter to the editor: Misleading signs ignore public health risk of vaccine law repeal
The risk of a viral pandemic, as is occurring in Wuhan, China, points to the fundamental reason that immunizations against communicable diseases are essential to protect our children from preventable infectious illnesses. And yet, proponents of the outrageous effort to negate the mandatory school vaccination law passed by the Maine Legislature last year close their […]

Letter to the editor: Rebuke of ‘sloppy gun owners’ not grounded in reality

Something else should be done right now: Direct Maine’s Department of Education to get serious about its responsibility toward children who walk or bike to school. In two recent school construction projects […]

Letter to the editor: Right path forward for Bayside is forward

Letter to the editor: Anti-vax referendum a threat to public health
The deliberate distribution of false information is relentless these days. Close to home the anti-vaccine campaigners are recklessly – and knowingly -– endangering the lives of children, newborns, elders, and people with weakened immune systems and chronic medical conditions. Their sermons use baseless sources to scare people about the supposed dangers of vaccines, encouraging them […]

Letter to the editor: Let Maine citizens decide fate of CMP’s controversial project
Since a vast majority of Mainers are voicing opposition to Central Maine Power Company’s controversial proposed 145-mile transmission line, why have the state’s Land Use Planning Commission and the Public Utilities Commission given a green light to the project?
