Letter to the editor: Systemic racism at heart of vast disparity in Maine COVID cases
Per the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention website, as of June 14, Black Mainers’ rate of COVID-19 infection is an astonishing 22 times the rate of white Mainers. Per 100,000 population, 2,943 black Mainers get COVID-19, versus 133 whites. No other state approaches this level of discrepancy. Where is the outrage? Blacks who […]

Letter to the editor: ‘On this date’ Maine history feature both edifying, captivating
There’s at least one article I always look forward to when I pick up your newspaper. It’s “On this date,” written by retired newspaper editor Joseph Owen. Unlike most bicentennial events and activities that were planned to celebrate Maine’s 200th anniversary, it’s one that hasn’t been put off until next year. I especially enjoyed his […]

Letter to the editor: Pro-power line op-ed enables CMP’s greenwashing

Starting with black-and-white photography and moving on to all the other shades, hues, nuances, excitements. So, when I read the commentary by Rachel Talbot Ross and […]

Letter to the editor: Media ignore thousands of peaceful protesters
Ten thousand peaceful protesters and 10 rowdy criminals, looting and rioting, and the press only concentrates on the criminals. No wonder that people are turned off by the national media! We peaceful people learned a lot during the Vietnam War. Ron Coles Alfred

Letter to the editor: Industry should aim to close racial homeownership gap
I want to talk about real estate and racism. I’ve been listening, reading and thinking about what real estate professionals can do. I don’t have all the answers and I will make mistakes along the way, but I’m committed to help close the racial divide in homeownership. Ours is an industry whose past is rooted […]

Letter to the editor: Radio host’s criticism of Mills misplaced
I have great sympathy for what restaurateurs are going through. I don’t want to see Willows fail after 31 years, nor Becky’s, The Great Lost Bear, Jonesy’s or any other of my personal favorites. As to the newer establishments, it’s any guess how many would have survived the first critical five-year period if the virus […]
