Letter to the editor: Maine’s Collins, King urged to buck Senate leadership on trumped-up ’emergency’
President Trump has declared a national emergency to get the funds to build his southern border wall. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated he will support it. This is executive overreach, abuse of the power of the presidency and unilateral usurpation of the powers of Congress. It is also very likely unconstitutional. This sets […]

Letter to the editor: Proposed teacher pay hike should include community college, UMaine System adjuncts
Recently, Gov. Mills proposed a minimum salary of $40,000 for Maine teachers. Though I applaud the proposal, I think Mainers need to know that full-time adjunct professors with the Community College System and the University of Maine System earn less than that amount. In short, adjunct professors earn around $2,100 to $2,300 per course with […]

Letter to the editor: Headline’s description of Episcopal cleric leaves reader puzzled
Thank you for publishing public free speech. Thank you for all your hard work to publish. All of us say things that at times aren’t truly correct. You have corrections for known errors. But at times we don’t know that we could do better. As I read one of your headlines in last Sunday’s paper […]

Letter to the editor: Reusable containers, bags will help stem tide of plastic waste
I am a middle school student and a big believer in ending climate change. One piece of climate change that gets less attention, but I think is important for everyone to know about, is the danger of plastic waste.

Letter to the editor: Illumination fails to show Portland City Hall in its best light
There are several possibilities to explain the lighting on City Hall in Portland: bribery, a desire to make a classically designed building look like a carnival sideshow reject or that the city is hoping to make the finals in an Ugliest City Hall contest. I chose to live in a building that has a view […]
