While it may be exciting that the nation’s eyes are on Maine, out-of-state readers should take their wild accusations and baseless lies to their local papers.

Not in Maine? Stay out of our politics. | Letter
It amazes me how many people from other states have an opinion on Maine’s senatorial race. And it seems that they all have something negative to say about Graham Platner, while missing the important point that Sen. Susan Collins is in President Trump’s back pocket on nearly every vote, except when her vote makes no […]

The events of last week exposed the extent to which this system is broken.

This election year needs to be about care | Letter
I thank James Doyle for his June 15 op-ed (“Do Trump and Susan Collins share Frances Perkins’ vision of society?”), reminding us of Frances Perkins and her belief that we have a responsibility to care for one another. Perkins, in her work with New York Mayor Al Smith and later as Franklin Roosevelt’s chief lieutenant, […]

Delegation must oppose changes to US Department of Education | Letter
I am outraged by the proposal to move the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and the Rehabilitation Services Administration from the Department of Education to Health and Human Services, and to shift the Office for Civil Rights to the Department of Justice.

Universal healthcare is a no-brainer | Letter
Can Maine afford universal healthcare? Can we afford not to have it? My dad in England had a heart attack in his 40s. His care was fully covered by the National Health Service. He made a full recovery. He didn’t have to worry about whether he could afford treatment, nobody went into debt and my […]

Platner is a product of the Democrats’ demise | Letter
I think Sherlock Holmes would easily have described the ascendancy of Graham Platner as a major Democrat candidate. When a political party eliminates all viable white men, all that remains are unviable white men. Following decades of stereotypical labeling — through phrases like “white fragility,” “toxic masculinity,” “gestating and non-gestating adults” and “cisgender” nonsense — […]
