The proposed Clean Energy Corridor (NECEC) has certainly generated a massive amount of passionate debate. It makes complete sense to me and when I looked at it further it’s a project that I completely support. I did have one question: How could anyone NOT support the NECEC?

Letter to the editor: B&M plant closure is sad, but it could be worse
Like most people, I was sad to read the news about the closure of the B&M plant in Portland. To say it was a landmark is an understatement and the company will be missed. The good news is that there is a developer waiting to take over the closed plant immediately to save the area […]

Letter to the editor: When it comes to COVID, what happened to you, we and us?
The problem with the world today is that we lost a few pronouns in the English language. People only know me, myself and I. What happened to you, we and us? This is evident in the people who will not get the COVID vaccination. Why can’t they realize that the vaccination not only protects themselves […]

Letter to the editor: Portland council’s alternative shelter initiative could backfire
Ironically, the Portland City Council’s decision to place an alternative referendum question to the small shelter initiative on the November ballot may turn out to be an unwise decision. Portland voters now have three options: 1) The Riverton citizen’s referendum; 2) The council’s alternative; or 3) neither. But two of the options are essentially different […]
