Letter to the editor: L.D. 820 will close coverage gap faced by low-income Maine women
L.D. 820 is a bill that would end the economically discriminatory practice of insurance companies and MaineCare denying coverage of abortion to those women who are often the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in Maine. To be clear, this bill is not about the right to an established, legal and safe procedure. L.D. 820 is about […]

Letter to the editor: Trump’s refusal to release tax returns speaks volumes
Given all of the gyrations that Donald Trump has been doing regarding his tax returns, one can legitimately wonder what he has to hide by refusing to release them.

Letter to the editor: Park Avenue traffic woes only getting worse
The Park Avenue traffic nightmare continues: • Single-lane traffic, backed up in both directions between Forest Avenue and The Expo – and not just during rush hour. • “No Turn on Red” signs at every corner, which are difficult to see during the day and impossible at night, though most people driving in the area […]

Letter to the editor: Congress to be commended for finally challenging war in Yemen
There is hope in what is a polarized Washington. Last week, Congress made use of their war powers authority for the first time in many years. For too long we have seen the executive branch in both parties arbitrarily make military decisions without consulting with Congress.
