Letter to the editor: Collins should challenge baseless election fraud claims
According to a new Monmouth University poll, seven in 10 Republicans believe that Joe Biden won the presidential election only because of voter fraud. Last time I checked, Sen. Susan Collins was a Republican Party leader. I call on her to get up in front of the Senate and refute this claim. I also call […]
Letter to the editor: If we make sacrifices now, we can stop COVID
Forgoing the chance to introduce grandparents to their new great-grandson is painful. But holiday celebrations that don’t put anyone’s health at risk will be more enjoyable.
Letter to the editor: Watching the collapse of a dynasty built on sand
He sits at the Resolute Desk, wearing a red MAGA hat, as Fox News drones on in the background substituting for all the intelligence briefings shoved to a far corner of the desk. He’s planning a Rose Garden update on the COVID-19 virus, where he’ll again proclaim greatness in leadership while lashing out at “fake […]
Letter to the editor: Anti-Trump coverage ensured win for Biden
Joe Biden’s victory was not due to him. He stayed in the basement five days a week. The media did his work for him. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN – all anti-Trump coverage 24/7. All newspapers – large and small – including USA Today and the beloved Press Herald – as liberal and leftist as you […]

There may be ways to meet the People First Portland goals with fewer unintended side effects: • State-level hazard pay would protect small businesses and nonprofits and the jobs and services they supply. • Expanding rental assistance and first-time homebuyer programs would help keep Portland affordable and protect socioeconomic diversity. • The establishment of a […]
Letter to the editor: Munjoy Hill delay unfair to residents
City councilors’ decision to put off a vote on a proposed historic district designation denies the neighborhood protection from exploitation.
Letter to the editor: Want to open Maine? Wear a mask
Our neighbors have COVID. They are quarantined in their home and have had oxygen brought to them. They are scared. They text me that they’ve never been so sick. They tell me to be careful. We have set up a system where they will put their front lights on or text me if they need […]
Letter to the editor: Collins hides support for GOP extremists until after Nov. 3
I received an email from the moderate, independent, bipartisan Senator Susan Collins that has me confused. She asked me to contribute money to an extreme candidate for Senate in Georgia, who is endorsed by a QAnon-supporting Georgia member of Congress. Collins’ reason was that it was important to keep Mitch McConnell in control as the […]
