Letter to the editor: As women speak out, now is wrong time to coddle men’s feelings
I was dumbfounded to see this paper publish Frank E. Reilly’s op-ed (“Maine Voices: Despite bad behavior of some men, most of us are nice guys,” Oct. 15). At this particular moment in history, was his really the most vital voice to amplify? Women are exhausted. The Brett Kavanaugh hearings left every woman I know […]

Letter to the editor: Let citizens decide on using ranked-choice voting to elect governor
Ireland has a presidential election this month. As has been the case for decades, it will use ranked-choice voting. This gives citizens a wide range of freedom and individual choice in who to vote for, with everyone from the Labor Party-backed incumbent to three business people from the same TV show! The beauty is that […]

Letter to the editor: Short-term rents cause neighborhood unease
Do you know your neighbors? Some people rent out whole, unoccupied houses for short-term stays (like Airbnb). Unfortunately for the other residents of that street, what was once a possible neighbor becomes a steady stream of strangers. Please imagine a new batch of people arriving next door to you every few days. Those of us […]

Letter to the editor: Jonathan Sahrbeck perfectly suited to be county DA

Letter to the editor: Caron, Hayes should pull out of gubernatorial race – pronto
I am writing to suggest that Alan Caron is past his deadline for fulfilling his promise to his earliest supporters that he would withdraw from the 2018 governor’s race if his polling numbers were low. It might be a different story if ranked-choice voting were in place for the gubernatorial contest in the general election, […]
