Letter to the editor: City ignores residents’ concerns in approving large restaurant on pier
As a resident of 40 Portland Pier, a 20-unit condominium complex that has been on the pier for 30 years, I would like to express my bafflement at the process used to approve the 160-plus-seat restaurant proposed by the owners of Luke’s Lobster.

Letter to the editor: Elements of Constitution at root of opposition to Obamacare
Re: “Our View: Republicans should end their war on Obamacare” (Dec. 18): For those of us who grew up in a free country, it is disheartening how many, including the Editorial Board of this newspaper, have no concept of our federal government.

Letter to the editor: Town of York should buy Davis land to avoid harmful development
Approval of the Mary McIntire Davis Trust’s development proposal in the town of York would affect the entire state.

Letter to the editor: Collins should stop voting for disgraceful nominees
When are Sen. Susan Collins’ votes going to start aligning with her rhetoric? She presents herself as a moderate yet keeps voting for disgraceful nominees for judgeships and administrative positions.

Letter to the editor: It took losing midterm for Poliquin to finally weigh in
I guess that after losing the midterm election, Bruce Poliquin decided it was finally time to share his thoughts. Before losing, he didn’t tell us much: He wouldn’t tell us which candidate got his vote for president; he hid in a restroom rather than answer a reporter’s questions, and he walked out of a meeting […]
