Letter to the editor: Keep grassy median on Franklin Street
A Jan. 24 article on Franklin Street traffic improvements (Page B1) describes the long-term plan, which includes eliminating the grassy median. Eliminating the grassy median would be a mistake. Every spring, masses of pink and white flowering trees extend a beautiful welcome to people entering the city. They are already budding. We will all be […]

Letter to the editor: Carbon tax makes things more costly
The only thing any carbon tax is going to do is make everything more costly. Anyway, why must we pay the price when China and India are the ones that put more CO2 into the air, neutralizing anything Maine does? What good is cutting electrical costs when senior citizens freeze and go hungry because their […]

Letter to the editor: Heavily fine those who employ illegals
I am in complete disagreement with Sen. Susan Collins’ decision to support funding to build a wall to prevent illegal immigration. The way to prevent illegal immigration is for the government to heavily fine those who employ illegals. Sadly, the government has never done this, under either Republican or Democratic administrations. Instead of spending money […]

Letter to the editor: Kaepernick, his peers should join real world
I am somewhat amused by the outcry from people in the entertainment industry demanding that other entertainers boycott participation in the Super Bowl halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick. One such “entertainer,” comedian Amy Schumer, went as far as to say she would not appear in any Super Bowl commercials. How narcissistic and naïve […]

Letter to the editor: Hiding problem priests shows church’s failure
Both Cheverus High School in Portland and Scranton Prep in Pennsylvania, two relatively obscure Jesuit schools, served to house predatory men, as many as five at a time. When the Jesuits published the names, I knew several, including some who had been guests at my home. Bill Nemitz illustrates this point in his Jan. 20 […]

Letter to the editor: Kids need cursive skill to read historical texts
I read with interest your article concerning cursive writing (“In a digital world, cursive whooshes back into the classroom,” Jan. 6). When my son was a young student in the Portland school system, I began teaching him cursive. Subsequently, his teacher told me that students were not taught or encouraged to write or read in […]
