Letter to the editor: People should lead Senate on impeachment

I appreciated the outrage of the Democratic candidates for president speaking at the debate Oct. 15 about the need to impeach President Trump and remove him from office. But I longed for and did not hear any of them say something like this: “More than half the American people now support removal from office and […]

Letter to the editor: Susan Collins is a true conservative, not a moderate

Our Senator Susan Collins apparently wishes to be known as a “moderate.” I recently received a campaign fundraising letter signed by her addressed to “Fellow Conservative” which said: “Fellow Conservative, join me in this fight today.” It also referred to those who oppose her reelection as the “Radical left”. This will come as a big […]

Letter to the editor: Nemitz implies Collins deserves ill treatment

Re: “Bill Nemitz: A Maine senator, a constituent and a failure to communicate” (Oct. 18): Bill Nemitz’s snide response to Sen. Susan Collins’ spokeswoman Annie Clark’s statement, in his recent column, was unbelievable. “Maybe it’s just me,” he wrote, “but if I was experiencing all of those things, I’d start wondering what in the heck […]

Letter to the editor: Constituent offers false account of conversation with Sen. Collins

On Oct. 13, this newspaper ran a full-page ad on Page A3 from Erik Mercer, attacking Sen. Susan Collins for allegedly saying that he was rude in an airport conversation.

Letter to the editor: Negative Yelp reviews do a disservice to DiMillo’s

This is in response to the article on Steve DiMillo having to escort drunk, disorderly heart surgeons from his family’s restaurant, the extremely belligerent comment directed at Steve by one of the surgeons and the negative Yelp reviews DiMillo’s and other restaurants receive (Oct. 20). My husband and I have dined at DiMillo’s for years […]

Letter to the editor: Trump has continued our nation’s ‘endless wars’

I am addressing Benjamin Holmes’ claim made in his letter of Oct. 20 (“Syria pullout defies military-industrial complex”). I do not dispute cautioning against the military-industrial complex. I do dispute his claim that our current president is challenging it. This year’s military budget is slated to be one of the largest ever, which will not […]
