Letter to the editor: Flannel’s comeback in apparel also has fans in the canine world
We very much enjoyed Staff Writer Edward D. Murphy’s Nov. 26 article “Flannel’s back! Retailers feelin’ it” (Page A1). But we at Uncommon Paws on Exchange Street want to point out one oversight: You didn’t mention that flannel and the buffalo plaid pattern are also hot right now for dogs. This year we’ve designed and […]

Letter to the editor: Politicians should focus most on working together, not on getting elected
On Nov. 23, the morning after Thanksgiving, the lead story on the front page of the Portland Press Herald was about Republicans musing on how to win over Maine voters in 2020. Really? That’s what our lawmakers are musing on? Another front-page story that day: “Greenhouse gas levels 41% higher than in 1990.” How about […]

Letter to the editor: Injured newcomer gets a warm medical welcome in Maine
To most of you, my husband and I are not from here. But to the rest of the world we are, as of six weeks ago. And with what we’ve experienced so far, we’ll have to rise to our new reputation. I limped into Maine with a knee badly damaged from a bad fall in […]

Letter to the editor: Kill federal health insurance tax to protect small-business sector
Running a small business isn’t easy. Any additional costs can be devastating, and owners have to make up for them somewhere just to stay in business. That’s why it’s essential that Congress delay the health insurance tax until after 2020. Since this tax ends up harming small businesses while huge corporations can avoid its impact, […]

Letter to the editor: Former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler is wrong man for job as head of EPA
Andrew Wheeler, the current interim director of the Environmental Protection Agency, should not be confirmed to fill the vacancy left by the departure of embattled EPA director Scott Pruitt. Wheeler has a history of working for the interests of major polluters (namely, the coal lobby), which he became involved with after leaving his position as […]

Letter to the editor: Until 1976, Maine law made blasphemy against Christianity a crime
As we read about the fate of Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian who was convicted of blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad, we should realize that until 1976, blasphemy against Christianity was a crime in Maine (Public Law 1975, Chapter 499, section 5). In 1919, a freethinker named Michael X. Mockus was prosecuted and convicted of […]

With a critic of the investigation now running the Justice Department, she and other senators should pass protective legislation before there's a full-blown constitutional crisis.

Letter to the editor: Ugly fight over Kavanaugh nomination didn’t cost Democrats the Senate
I was amazed at Marc A. Thiessen’s Nov. 9 column, “Brett Kavanaugh debacle cost Democrats the Senate” (Page A7). Most political pundits predicted that the Republicans would retain control of the Senate. The accusation against Judge Brett Kavanaugh was made by a very credible witness, not by a radical Democratic mob. It is not surprising […]

Letter to the editor: CMP power corridor project does too much damage, should be rejected
The northwest mountains of Maine are one of the crown jewels of America, and the proposed Central Maine Power corridor would bisect them. I am a lifelong northern Mainer as well as a traveler and an environmentalist. I have seen the irreversible damage of industrialized environments and believe in renewable energy as well as climate […]
