Letter to the editor: Nemitz marks inauguration by blaming Trump voters for nation’s faults
I find Bill Nemitz’s opinion pieces in the Press Herald rather delusional most times and incoherent at best.

Letter to the editor: Trump could be facing far worse fate
I agree with the Republicans who say that holding an impeachment trial for former President Donald Trump will not unify the country! However, the fact that he absolutely did incite an insurrection to overthrow the government and refused to follow the lead of every president before him with a peaceful transfer of power begs for […]

Letter to the editor: Too few resources go to Maine Med nurses
While the nursing staff of Maine Medical Center struggle to provide the best service they can with limited resources, the hospital administration is spending tens of thousands of dollars on anti-union consultants to thwart their cause. These essential workers have earned their place at the table and deserve to be heard by the hospital administration. […]
