Letter: Keep big money out of Maine politics
I am writing to voice my support for voting Yes on 1, a crucial measure that will help get big money out of politics and put more power in the hands of Maine voters. It is time to end the corrosive influence of big money in our elections and ensure that our democracy is protected […]
Letter: Keep existing flag
Our present flag does a better job representing what a unique state Maine is.
Letter: Home ‘commodification’ continues unabated
Housing was discussed at the vice presidential debate. My parents provided a teacher, a hospice social worker and a nurse practitioner to this state, yet housing remains a pressing concern for my parents as they age, and for many others throughout the state, myself included. Immigrants may affect the equation (I’m no expert). However, a […]

I respect every American’s right to voice their opinions at lawful demonstrations and venues. What I don’t respect are people using their elected positions as vehicles to air their personal perspectives and agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with their elected positions. There are many crisis level issues facing Portland. These issues could not […]
Letter: Mayor Dion needs to read up on needle waste data
Research suggests that restrictive policies are not effective.
Letter: Harris is unfit for the presidency
The Democratic Party, abetted by the liberal media, is in the process of perpetrating the most desperate scam on the American public in recorded history. Kamala Harris’ unfitness to be president of the United States is of epic proportions. Harris has zero credibility, is a radical extremist, is wildly inconsistent in her statements and positions, […]
