Letter to the editor: Emily Figdor would be a great asset to Portland school board

I would strongly support Emily Figdor for the Portland Board of Public Education in District 2. I worked with Emily when she was the director of Environment Maine, in a collaboration of grass-roots residents and environmental organizations working to protect the residents of South Portland from the health and environmental threat of tar sands oil. […]

Letter to the editor: Sahrbeck has experience, intelligence, compassion to lead Cumberland DA’s Office

This letter is to endorse independent Jonathan Sahrbeck for Cumberland County district attorney in the Nov. 6 election. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Jonathan Sahrbeck on a professional level as a police detective, as well as personally. I believe he is the only choice for Cumberland County district attorney. Jonathan Sahrbeck […]

Letter to the editor: Maine can’t afford Moody’s austerity

Republican Shawn Moody’s website reflects an austerity mindset, yet cutting taxes and spending is not the formula for moving Maine forward. Just ask Kansas. Shared prosperity will be ours when we learn that we have to invest – in our citizens’ well-being, our infrastructure, our education systems, etc. You’d think a businessman like Moody would […]

Letter to the editor: Mills has track record of taking positive action

As a public health professional, I’m prevention-oriented, and I know Janet Mills is as well. Prevention saves money and will be best served by strengthening Maine’s economy so everyone who wants a job can get one, working to ensure access to health care for all Mainers, strengthening Maine schools so that every child gets an […]

Letter to the editor: Yes on Question 4 will improve USM, region

While our restaurant scene makes national news, the turnaround at the University of Southern Maine is also reason for the region’s rising reputation. It’s also why I invested on Deering Avenue, where last month Domaine Real Estate opened its offices next to the university’s increasingly vibrant Portland campus. USM has a unique ability to attract […]

Letter to the editor: Mills will continue to fight addiction crisis

I support Democrat Janet Mills for governor. As many Mainers have struggled with addiction over the past years, she’s led the fight for providing the lifesaving drug Narcan to law enforcement agencies, saving 500 lives in the past two years. She will save more lives once elected through her commitment to expanding MaineCare, lifting the […]

Letter to the editor: Yes on 1 will help elderly, disabled

A Sept. 26 letter regarding Question 1 is deceptive and reeks of rhetoric. Those earning over $128,400 in wages would be taxed 1.9 percent, not 3.8 percent. Those exceeding $128,400 in non-wage income would be taxed 3.8 percent. Because of federal HIPAA laws, this proposal cannot violate privacy any more than physicians can. Caregivers might […]
