Letter to the editor: Maine constituents voice concerns about Collins vote
I understand that it is convenient for Sen. Susan Collins and her staff to perpetuate the idea that the calls, letters and visits and even the rallies outside her offices opposing Brett Kavanaugh are merely “out-of-state” efforts to be ignored, but we know this is a false characterization. I have personally been at her offices […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins should take strong stand for women
Sen. Susan Collins must realize that meeting with Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a good first step, but she should not be assured by his statement that Roe v. Wade is “settled law.” I used to take comfort in that, too. Then I discovered there are a thousand cuts, as there are in chipping away at […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Chenette scores win for all Mainers on naturopathic health care
In this political environment, it’s not easy to point to successes or to find bipartisan accomplishments. But state Sen. Justin Chenette, D-Saco, has a unique ability to passionately stand up for our values while being able to work with people across the aisle. A prime example is his health care reform legislation.

Letter to the editor: After honoring McCain, let’s hope Congress puts nation before politics as he did
As a lifelong Democrat, I, along with most other Americans, am saddened at the passing of Sen. John McCain. He was truly a man of strength, honor and duty to one’s country. To be shot down over North Vietnam, and then refuse an offer of freedom until his fellow captives were also released, was a […]

Letter to the editor: TV shows, films have gone too far with sex, killings and vulgarity
I was watching television the other night when a preview came on for a new 10-week show called “The Purge.” My daughter told me that they also have a movie called “The Purge.” All I could think was: “What has happened to us?” We complain about all the needless killings and riots that have been […]

Letter to the editor: Climate change does occur slowly – until human actions overpower nature
To say a vast majority of people won't be affected by warming overlooks recent distressing events and hampers recognition of the dangers we face.

Letter to the editor: Trump uses American flag to ‘take a knee’ on honoring John McCain
Didn’t Donald Trump just “take a knee” by not respectfully keeping the flag lowered for Sen. John McCain? Suzanne Randall Scarborough

Letter to the editor: Aurora Provisions closing after losing touch with its soul and community
Not only is the Aurora Provisions market and cafe closing (Aug. 22), but it intends to become a catering operation, making it doubtful that another cafe will rise in its location. This decision, I think, offers a clue to the mystery of how Aurora could, in roughly one year, go from extraordinarily popular to not […]

Letter to the editor: Pass Question 1 for home care that protects our independence as we age
My name is David Berry. I am a retired disabled veteran of the U.S. Army, in 2006, from the Iraq War (Operation Iraqi Freedom). I believe in making a better life for others. This belief propelled me to work in the home care industry for years before enlisting. Between three branches, I served 17 years […]
