Letter to the editor: Parking hub could make Portland commute easier
Portland’s parking is on the cusp of being completely out of control. The parking garage in Bayside owned by Unified Parking Partners increased their monthly rates by 40 percent, announcing this on the same day there was a stabbing just outside their door. If they can justify this increase, who’s next and what astronomical increase […]

Letter to the editor: Other faiths require head coverings – why single out Rep. Omar?
I respectfully disagree with my fellow South Portlander, Norma Stanley, regarding her March 28 letter about appropriate attire in Congress. It is easy, albeit unfair, to single out Rep. Ilhan Omar, who practices Islam. What about other faiths that require women to cover their hair? Orthodox Judaism, for example, requires married women to cover their […]

Letter to the editor: Water district customers should be alerted to Sebago threat
Kudos to Dan Kleban and the Maine Brewshed Alliance for supporting the protection of Maine’s waters, especially Sebago Lake (Maine Voices, March 27). We agree with the need to educate water consumers about the threats. The major threat to Sebago Lake is the proposed reversal of the Portland-to-Montreal pipeline, which would carry Alberta diluted bitumen […]

Letter to the editor: To move U.S. forward, look to candidates in the center
OK, folks. Here’s the way I see our country’s political and cultural debacle: We cannot continue to swing from the far right to the far left with every one or two election cycles. We cannot continue to have a situation where each administration focuses on undoing all of the policies of the previous administration. These […]

Letter to the editor: Real border crisis is how people are treated there
We do not hear of the many neighbors along the border helping immigrants. In El Paso, Texas, nearly 2,000 asylum seekers are released from federal processing each week. Shelters run by faith-based volunteers feed them, provide clothing, overnight accommodations, coloring books for the children and snacks to take on the bus to their next destination. […]

Letter to the editor: Rep. Omar welcome to wear hijab in Congress
In response to letter writer Norma Stanley’s admonition that U.S. Rep. Ilham Omar stop wearing her hijab “and starting acting the part of a member of Congress and a citizen of the USA” (March 28), I’d encourage Ms. Stanley to review the U.S. Constitution. There is no dress code mentioned anywhere in Article 1 (which […]
