Letter to the Editor: Collins’ votes are not ‘profiles in courage’
Jim Fossel writes in his Sept. 6 column that Sen. Susan Collins “firmly occupies the center lane,” noting that she “votes with [the president] less often than any other Senate Republican.” This statement misses the point. Collins creates the illusion of being a moderate, generally by being “concerned” about the important issues of the day; […]

Letter to the Editor: Cartoon distorted good economic news
Once again, the Press Herald is publishing an irresponsible and inflammatory post – this time a cartoon by Dave Granlund. On a week when unemployment dropped to 8.4 percent, Mr. Granlund depicts 30 Million people having lost their jobs. A quick look at the stats shows that there currently are 13.6 million Americans unemployed at […]

Letter to the Editor: Re-electing Collins would be best for Maine

Gradually, our system of checks and balances and institutions such as the press and public health agencies are being weakened and rendered ineffective. Donald Trump’s campaign has used lies, misinformation […]

Letter to the editor: Trump bumper stickers foster feelings of rage
Maintaining my composure when I see a “Trump – No more (expletive)” bumper sticker is difficult. Trump has told over 20,000 “misleading or unable to be substantiated statements,” otherwise known as lies, while standing at the podium. These lies are not without serious consequences. Trump doesn’t care. His ‘misstatements’ about the coronavirus, calling COVID-19 a […]

Letter to the editor: The ‘new’ Susan Collins looks awfully familiar
Susan Collins again. Isn’t this the same Susan Collins who pledged to voters on her first run that she would stand for only two terms? Isn’t this the same Susan Collins who insisted on starting at the top, running for governor and then for Senate? No school board. No town council. No state legislature. Just […]
