Letter to the editor: Trump policies jeopardize his supporters and others
It is understandable that many voters chose Donald Trump because they felt shut out of a culture that did not respect their work or aspirations. However, the Trump administration has consistently promoted policies that jeopardize the welfare of both its supporters and others. Loss of environmental protections, of affordable health care and of access to […]

Letter to the editor: Good fortune and the right connection can go a long way
As an immigrant engineer with foreign credentials, I could empathize with the panelists at the recent Startup Maine conference who described how intimidating it can be for us to seek professional-level work in Maine (June 22). When I arrived in Maine, I was fortunate enough to meet recruiters like Stefanie Trice Gill at IntWork (who […]

Letter to the editor: Neighborhood crime rates are hot air without analysis
If the Portland Press Herald is to be believed, the citizens of Bayside are cowering in doorways, fearful of walking on the streets because of the horrendous crime wave. In fact, we are going about our business much as usual. I’m not impressed with the fearmongering and bashing of my neighborhood. Yes, we have a […]

Letter to the editor: Discharging immigrants from the Army is callous
Re: “U.S. Army quietly discharging immigrant recruits” (July 6, Page A5): It was with utter disgust that I read the Associated Press story on the Army’s attempt to surreptitiously discharge immigrant recruits under the guise of weeding out “security risks.” The xenophobic hysteria fomented by the titular commander in chief continues to undermine our collective […]

Letter to the editor: Family separations unnecessary in enforcement of immigration law
As I hear the news about the family separations going on down at the border, I am shocked to find out that President Trump, whom I supported in the election, is defending such inhumane treatment of children. To me, the solution is simple: Keep the family together by deporting them together. If going back to […]

Letter to the editor: Insist that next EPA administrator puts people before polluters
The man in line to replace the corrupt Scott Pruitt will continue the attack on the environment unless the public demands better.

Letter to the editor: Neighbors of Barron Center should welcome new homeless shelter
I am writing in support of plans to build a new homeless shelter on the grounds of the Barron Center on Brighton Avenue, located in the Nason’s Corner neighborhood of Portland.

Letter to the editor: Fourth of July fireworks first-rate, but PSO was sorely missed
As a proud Portlander who often brags to out-of-state friends about all of the wonderful things this city has to offer, I have to say that I was terribly disappointed with the sad, lackluster event that took place on the Eastern Prom on the evening of July Fourth. Leaving the issue of corporate vs. city […]

Letter to the editor: Block any Supreme Court nomination while there’s a cloud over Trump
I urge Sen. Susan Collins to join with Democrats and block any Supreme Court justice nomination until the Russian investigation is complete. President Trump has refused to use his power to protect our country from Russian interference in our elections. Instead he attacks our judiciary, our intelligence community and our free press, while consistently stating […]
