Letter to the editor: Misuse of verb in headline was a disappointing sign of the times
Re: “Loaded gun found laying in Bayside parking lot” (July 4, Page B1): What a saddening shock to see the misuse of the verb form in the Local & State headline about the weapon found in Bayside. A gun does not “lay,” it “lies.” Most verbs are transitive – they take direct objects, as in […]

Today’s political system is fundamentally broken. How can we make progress on issues if we can’t see past our political affiliations and start a dialogue?

Letter to the editor: Vote out legislators who try to stop assault-style gun sales by stores
Re: “Three lawmakers ask Kittery Trading Post to stop selling assault-style rifles” (July 3): I found it very distressing that state Reps. Patty Hymanson, Lydia Blume and Deane Rykerson would resort to threats of boycotts and pickets to try to gain control of what it is the Kittery Trading Post decides to sell. This interference […]

Letter to the editor: Delay vote on Supreme Court nominee while president investigated
Congress should delay a vote on Donald Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court appointment until after special counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his report to Congress or closed the investigation of the president.

Letter to the editor: Centrist Collins must reject extremism of Kavanaugh
Sen. Susan Collins is a centrist and a moderate. She is our senator from Maine, a moderate and centrist state, which is why she wins with 68 percent of the vote, as opposed to Gov. LePage, who won with 38 percent of the vote (in 2010) and 48 percent (in 2014). If she were a […]

Letter to the editor: Trump’s proposed gag rule threatens access to health care
With Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement, the right to access abortion safely and legally in this country is on the line. But we don’t need to wait for a Supreme Court ruling – reproductive rights are under threat right now with the Trump administration’s proposed gag rule. The gag rule would make it illegal for doctors, […]
