I read Jim Fossel’s Jan. 17 column about impeachment with interest since Fossel is an articulate advocate for conservative politics. Like Mr. Fossel, I am concerned that a second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will divert attention and energy from the Biden-Harris plans for recovering from the pandemic and rebuilding our economy. But I reached […]

Sen. Susan Collins’ insistence that she has no position on the pending impeachment trial until she hears all the evidence is ludicrous on its face. This is probably the only time in the history of the American judicial system that the jury in a case is made up entirely of victims of the crime. All of […]

We are now facing a crisis of divisions I have never before seen in our country: Republican against Democrat, Democrat against Republican, family against family, and neighbor against neighbor. Geez! Enough! We must unite as a people and a living community. I have protested the war in Vietnam, and I became a disaster relief volunteer […]

The Maine vaccination plan being presented on the governor’s website is grossly unfair to the residents of York County and needs to be addressed immediately. As of Jan. 20, Aroostook County, with a population of 67,000, has five – count them – five vaccination sites while York County has just one – that is correct, […]

I am writing to express my concern about the fairness of immunization delivery. I am not part of the MaineHealth system of hospitals and medical practices, though many of my friends are.

“ ‘Troubled’ by Maine Capitol Police chief’s social media posts, Mills calls for review,” so reads the Jan. 15 headline on the Press Herald’s website. I hope that, in fact, our governor, Janet Mills, was more than just “troubled” by the revelation that Chief Russell Gauvin embraced and promoted the delusionally seditious and public health-corrosive […]

Well, a phone number for making an appointment to get a COVID vaccine has become available. (Those 70 and older can call for an appointment at 877-780-7545.) I’m 83, so, I am in the 1B category. But just try to get through on that phone number! Busy, busy, busy, and then they automatically end the […]

The public needs to hear from Sen. Susan Collins that the presidential election of Nov. 3, 2020, was fair. It was not rigged. She needs to explain to the public that Donald Trump lost the election fair and square. Joe Biden is the new president. Trump’s sick behavior in failing to accept loss has split […]
