Letter to the editor: CMP corridor will bring more good-paying jobs to Maine
I am writing about the Clean Energy Corridor. Maine is a poor state with not enough capital investment and not enough good-paying jobs. I’d be real interested to know who is trying to capitalize on prejudice against Central Maine Power and bankrolling the opposition to jobs in Maine. Banning the corridor is as silly and […]

Letter to the editor: NECEC is about profit, not about helping environment
Hydro-Quebec and CMP tout the project’s positive impact, so why was there no study?

Letter to the editor: Mainers got it right on fighting COVID
We should all celebrate the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention report that two-thirds of all Mainers have received full COVID vaccination.

Letter to the editor: Plastic newspaper bags have many other uses
On Oct. 19, a letter deemed the plastic bags in which newspapers are delivered a problem. Well, as a subscriber, I find wet papers a problem. That includes heavy dew. So let me suggest that people give their newspaper bags to neighbors who need bags for dog waste. If there are no such neighbors, save […]

Letter to the editor: Build Back Better must do more to address inequities
Build Back Better addresses some economic and social inequities. America’s capitalism defies gravity. The wealth it produces trickles up and market failure is endemic. The myth that we are the richest, most democratic country in the world is perpetuated by a misrepresentation of history. We didn’t create wealth: We took rich natural resources from Indigenous […]
