Letter to the editor: Popular-vote bill would cost Mainers their independent voices
Maine has always thought of itself as an independent state, whose citizens can decide what is best for Maine and its citizens.

Letter to the editor: Portland needs money for pothole fixes, not public art
When I noticed the headline about art for the new Brighton Avenue roundabout (“Panel listens to input on art for new Brighton Ave. roundabout,” March 22, Page B1), my first thought was that there must be something more worthwhile for Portland’s mayor and City Council to approve monies for.

Letter to the editor: Hijab is not proper attire for U.S. citizen in Congress
I agree with “Judge Jeanine” Pirro regarding Rep. Ilhan Omar’s wearing of head apparel commonly seen in her home country. Omar should discard her hijab and start acting the part of a member of Congress and a citizen of the USA. Norma Stanley South Portland
