I wonder if I am the only reader who experienced a strong cognitive dissonance while reading your July 8th edition? An article in the Business section, “King expects Bath-built warship cut from the budget will be restored,” was followed a few pages later with, “Study: Northwest heat wave not possible without climate change.” Unfortunately, we […]

Letter to the Editor: Constituent knocks Rep. Caiazzo’s support for CMP
I’m writing to express disappointment in my representative Chris Caiazzo (D-Scarborough) for voting in lock step with Central Maine Power during his first three years in the state Legislature. Rep. Caiazzo has gone out of his way to support CMP’s interest over the interests of his constituents. In 2019, Rep. Caiazzo voted against L.D. 640, […]

Letter to the editor: Maine insects’ disappearance strikes ominous note
When I was growing up in central Maine, in the 1950s, any time we filled the tank in the car with gas, we had to wash the windshield because it was covered with the remains of many moths and insects. As a kid, I delighted in going onto the front lawn and seeing many lightning […]

Letter to the editor: We’ve forgotten how to be friends
The country is slowly starting to open up after the COVID lockdowns. People are short-tempered and, like me, didn’t realize it. The lack of social interaction, combined with the financial strains, have tested everyone’s patience. I remember as a toddler, I was taught to how to respect others, how to not pick fights with anyone […]

Letter to the editor: Bishops trying to shut people out of the church
As a practicing Roman Catholic, do I accept all that is put forward by the leadership of our church? No, I do not. God has given us a conscience, intellect and free will. We can rationalize things for ourselves. I have attended Catholic schools K-12, as have all of my children. Unfortunately, none of them […]

Letter to the editor: Collins was wise to oppose misguided election bill
I have been dismayed by a number of recent letters criticizing Sen. Susan Collins’ vote against S.1, a bill that would have resulted in a federal takeover of the entire election system. Although it was branded a “voting rights bill,” it was actually a Trojan horse concealing a host of bad policies. One of the […]

Letter to the editor: With Pine Tree Power veto, Mills disregards Mainers’ energy future
A recent audit of Central Maine Power indicates that the utility and its parent are motivated not by customer service but by profit.

Letter to the editor: Former Maine legislator fails to substantiate criticism of voting rights law
In her July 15 letter to the editor, Amy Volk seems awfully confused. After boldly stating “the so-called ‘For the People’ Act is not what they (Democrats) claim,” she offers no proof. She cites an inequity in Delaware law that would be addressed in the legislation. Apparently, Volk thinks President Biden has some control over […]

Letter to the editor: Key questions need answers before Cape can act on housing proposal
As a resident of Cape Elizabeth who supports affordable housing, I was persuaded by the July 1 Press Herald editorial to support the proposed Town Center apartment development (“Our View: Every Maine community has to pitch in on affordable housing”). However, after reading several letters in our local Cape Courier, I realized it’s not so […]
