Corporate attacks on ’60 Minutes’ threaten an informed public | Letter
I have been listening to and watching CBS News for decades and associate it with legendary broadcasters like Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace. I was saddened when its new leadership eliminated the CBS Radio news broadcasts. Today, I’m outraged by its treatment of “60 Minutes,” the most prestigious, respected news show on television. New management […]

Inspired by report on Gen Z homeowners | Letter
I noticed that in a recent Associated Press report about Single Gen Z women homeowners (“Single Gen Z women outpace Gen Z men to homeownership despite overall decline in first-time buyers,” May 20), two out of the two examples of Gen Z women homeowners were content creators. Guess I’d better start a Twitch. Erik SvetlichnyCape […]

Ranked-choice voting encourages collaboration building | Letter
In accusing three Democratic candidates of “cronyism” and “gaming” the system, by sharing their preferences with each other, Moriah Freeman (“In Maine governor’s race, connection is preferable to cronyism,” May 31) mistakes the point of ranked-choice voting (RCV). The aim of RCV is to ensure that the winner has the support of a majority of […]

Support Joe Baldacci for Congress | Letter
I urge Democrats and independents participating in the June 9 Democratic primary to rank Joe Baldacci first as a candidate for U.S. representative in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. His knowledge of the issues is detailed and substantive and second to none. In talking to him and seeing his messaging, it is clear Baldacci is motivated […]

Traitor Platner has no business serving in the Senate | Letter
I hunted deer in the “Big Woods” in Maine while staying at my uncle’s hunting lodge after I returned from Vietnam serving with the Marines, which brings me to senatorial candidate Graham Platner. Marine Platner is a disloyal disgrace to the Corps who violated his sworn oath to defend the United States. He and his […]

Remember that Janet Mills is still on the ballot | Letter
Lead-ins to Press Herald columnists’ remarks seem pretty sexist these days. “Controversies aside,” Douglas Rooks says, “Graham Platner’s message threatens everything the ruling class has foisted…” Then there’s Steve Collins, “Unfortunately for Graham Platner, he needs women on his side to win….” Reducing Graham Platner’s character flaws to “controversies” — the Nazi tattoo, his false […]

Waiting for the pipe to burst on Graham Platner | Letter
Drip by drip the stories come out about Graham Platner. Are we waiting for the pipe to burst and flood the hold before we come to our senses? If we think all the negative stories are out there, just wait until the biggest guns of the Republican Party take aim on the oyster farmer. They’ll […]

Reelect Jackie Sartoris as Cumberland County DA | Letter
Cumberland County is safer today because Jackie Sartoris is our district attorney, and I want to keep it that way. I’ve known Sartoris since our early days working on environmental policy in Augusta. Even then, she brought the same mix of backbone and practicality she now brings to the DA’s office. In her first term, […]
