As an environmental lawyer, a lifelong supporter of raising the minimum wage and an advocate for affordable housing as a Community Housing of Maine board member, it is hard for me to urge a “no” vote on exactly these issues. But I must. The concepts behind referendum questions A, C, D and E deserve thoughtful […]

There is a momentous opportunity before the American people in this coming election. Not only do we need to choose a president who will respect science and all people regardless of class and race and sex but we have the chance to have a woman of African and Indian heritage who will bring a unique […]

I support Anne Carney for Maine Senate and Sara Gideon for U.S. Senate. Anne has accomplished so much in the House, and has earned the respect and gratitude of her fellow legislators. Her progressive ideas on health care, environmental responsibility, women’s rights and fiscal responsibility will help to guide us past the pandemic, and will […]

Sen. Susan Collins called out Sara Gideon for being “from away.” She didn’t have the courage to call out Trump for his despicable behavior, behavior we don’t allow from our children. His false birtherism claims, tax cuts favoring the wealthiest, slandering veterans, his bullying disrespectful first debate, deception about the pandemic, telling the Proud Boys […]

I’m supporting Sara Gideon for U.S. Senate because she’s been endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign, the League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Maine AFL-CIO, Massachusetts and Northern New England Laborers, District Council, Painters and Allied Trades International Union District Council 35, […]

My thanks to Bill Nemitz for his Oct. 14 column on the Hoosier News Now invasion of the Harrison Town Office recently. It must be a great shock to be confronted by a gang of superannuated skinheads with their guardhouse law degrees and wacko knowledge of the Constitution. One hopes that Bill’s expose will help […]

Charles Todorich (Maine Voices, Oct. 18) parroted Donald Trump’s lies, divisive language and patriotic propaganda very well. That he even hinted that Democrats of today are the “willing heirs of the ignominy (of slavery)” was ridiculous. His “clear thinking” shows a willingness to promote division and accept inflammatory rhetoric. Mr. Todorich represents what is wrong […]
