As a voter in Maine House District 51, I would like to publicly support the re-election of Joyce “Jay” McCreight to the Maine House of Representatives. We moved to the area four years ago and one of the first things I did was to contact my elected officials so I could get to know them. […]

Maine voters have an important new opportunity. Because Maine has ranked-choice voting in place, we are freed from choosing between the corporate funded candidates for U.S. Senate. Now we can vote for the candidate who speaks to our beliefs. Consider this: Lisa Savage is running as a progressive independent candidate, the only one who stands […]

The Another View guest editorial suggesting the Press Herald “overstates” the student loan crisis just proves that there is a crisis. The author states that students should pay no more than $22,000 for a four-year degree. If they do so, they can easily repay their loans. The problem is, that’s impossible for most people. Take, […]

I spent three evenings last week watching the Republican National Convention, part of being a well-informed citizen. In November, I will vote for the Biden/Harris ticket, the only honest and ethical choice I have. The White House, which is the house of the American people, has been degraded. Very sad to see a partisan, divisive […]
