It’s not hard to see the irony of an intelligent, nonwhite daughter of immigrants running for president against an old, misogynistic man with a platform that spews hatred toward immigrants and a sexist man who thinks a woman’s value is to produce and raise children. Project 2025/Agenda 47 details in 900 pages how white men […]

Let’s address the elephant in the school board room. Cape Elizabeth schools are in desperate shape, and yet the Town Council has ignored the majority of its constituents, who recognize the urgent need and long-term value of investing in our school facilities.

I’ve had several opportunities to interact with Maine agency employees over the years and, without exception, have received timely and helpful advice. Here’s a recent example: I recently emailed the Department of Marine Resources with a couple of health-related questions about oyster harvesting.

The Prosecutor and the Felon … sounds a little like an old Warner Bros. cartoon, but the growing truth of it is the almost immediate characterization of the Harris-Trump campaign for president because neither candidate can outrun the past.
