Letter to the editor: Don’t look away when you suspect abuse
After reading all the articles about the beating death of little Marissa Kennedy, I felt urged to write. As I read these articles, with tear-filled eyes, I can’t help but wonder: Someone had to know that something was wrong! The social worker, a neighbor, a teacher, a friend or relative. Maybe it’s easier to look […]

Letter to the editor: Close look at Collins’ ties to Big Pharma donors appreciated
I was impressed by Victoria Hugo-Vidal’s Dec. 8 column. Impressed because she did what few people do: She looked into federal election records and found out, in a half hour, that Sen. Susan Collins received $40,000 from from the companies most responsible for the opioid crisis, and she knows there is much more. I was […]

Letter to the editor: Real issue with face-scanning software is ability to provide correct IDs
I read the Maine Voices column “Portland should ban face-scanning software – now” (Dec. 11) with many questions. I see that the problem is whether the software is good enough to give true identification and therefore be worth the price. As far as identifying someone in a particular place, that is their problem and responsibility. […]

Letter to the editor: With impeachment vote, senators should honor oath of office
I suspect there are several cases of colliding thoughts in the heads of many Republican senators as it relates to Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. With all of the testimony, most from credible witnesses, it is a little difficult not to think Trump committed an egregious act by engaging a foreign power in some form in […]

Letter to the editor: Impeachment process is alI about 2020, not 2016
A recurring argument touted by Republicans is that the Democrats have not gotten over Donald Trump’s 2016 victory and have been out to get him ever since. This argument is not only shallow but also is not in the national interest. Trump did, in fact, win the 2016 election. Also in 2016, it is now […]

Letter to the editor: President should back Maine lobstermen, halt whale rules
On Monday, I sent an urgent appeal to President Trump to personally intervene in the ongoing dispute between federal regulators and our lobstermen, which is threatening their livelihoods. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is considering a drastic 50 percent cut in the number of permitted vertical trap lines in hopes of reducing the number […]

Letter to the editor: Portland ceremony marking Pearl Harbor goes unacknowledged
I was very sad, to say the least, after learning from a Pearl Harbor survivor’s wife that there was no one from our government – Maine or Washington – or news media or television represented at the ceremony on Dec. 7 in Portland. Such a disgrace not to recognize this important event in our nation’s […]
