Letter to the editor: Collins deserves credit for Waterville grant
There are moments when elected leaders make extraordinary efforts to support their local communities, and it is important that we recognize that good work. Last week, the city of Waterville received notice that it had won a $7.3 million grant to improve the transportation infrastructure and pedestrian experience downtown. This is an exciting time in […]

Letter to the editor: Spectrum’s new charge puts viewers in a box
I am writing about another (what I call) scam in our midst. It’s Spectrum’s newest charge – for digital boxes, which allow you to continue watching TV. Otherwise, you’ll have no TV. We have had television for over 70 years. I was around when we first received black and white TV. What an invention! Now, […]

Letter to the editor: Let’s not forget the Bush presidents’ involvement with the Carlyle Group
As the Republican Party and the media beatify George H.W. Bush and the Bush family, my heart grows heavy at the thought of the thousands of men, women and children who have died in the two Gulf wars initiated by the two Bush presidents. I get angry at the thought of the Bush presidents’ involvement […]

Letter to the editor: Spectrum’s digital conversion adds costs, skimps on value
This letter is in regards to Spectrum and their supposed improvement to digital cable. I have so far failed to see any improvement to the customer. In fact, it is now costing me $35.37 per month more for less service. They have made it impossible for my second television to work unless I get another […]

Letter to the editor: Hyperbole fuels Ogunquit’s misguided recall effort
As an Ogunquit voter, I believe that Gillian Graham’s misleading Dec. 10 article regarding the recall of three Select Board members needs a response. She cites 900 petition signatures and mentions that there are 1,216 registered voters in Ogunquit, as if 75 percent of all Ogunquit voters support the recall. Fact: If verified, 250 voters […]

Letter to the editor: Why are Massachusetts power needs prioritized over Maine’s?
Even as Maine’s Public Utilities Commission approves an electricity price increase for Central Maine Power’s customers, CMP is seeking approval to build new power lines through Maine to Massachusetts – a state which, because it is holding up the construction of a larger gas pipeline to Maine, is helping to keep electricity rates higher for […]

Letter to the editor: Why is only one major political party willing to honor democratic norms?
The efforts last week in Wisconsin and Michigan and, earlier, in North Carolina to limit the powers of incoming Democratic governors (not to speak of the attempts by Gov. LePage and the legislative Republicans in Maine to reverse the results of popular referendums) are merely the latest episodes in the assault by Republicans on democratic […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t deny science of substance abuse – it’s a treatable disease, not a stupid choice
The fact is that one in 10 of us has the propensity to get hooked on a mind-altering substance, and those who deny that truth make it harder for others to deal with addiction.

Letter to the editor: Thanks to special bipartisan group for introducing Carbon Dividend Act
I would like to simply state my gratitude to U.S. Rep. Theodore Deutch for introducing and three Republican and three Democratic representatives for co-sponsoring the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Amazing things can happen when we put politics aside and come together to look for solutions to problems! This bill promotes innovation, promotes job […]
