Letter to the editor: Kids of Scarborough deserve best possible school
As a community, we have a responsibility to support the needs of every child who comes through our school system. The cost of building a school is not getting cheaper and Scarborough certainly isn’t getting smaller. We owe it to our children to give them the best school facilities. After an exhaustive search where all […]

Letter to the editor: Election road signs contribute nothing to Maine
Each election, I drive by hundreds of political road signs, for months. Four questions come to mind. • Is this how we elect our politicians? • Is this cost effective? • Do they educate the public? • Do they enhance the landscape or compete with it? In 1977, the state of Maine followed Vermont and […]

Letter to the editor: Correct the Constitution, vote ‘yes’ on Question 8
Twenty-two years ago, the courts fixed a grave error in Maine law which denied people with a mental illness that were under guardianship the basic, fundamental right to vote. This November, we can make things right by fixing the language in the Maine Constitution. Unfixed, we have set a specific group of individuals apart from […]

Letter to the editor: Column critical of new housing lacked nuance
A recent Maine Voices column (“Calls for aggressive housing development miss bigger picture,” Oct. 15), was unfair toward both HR&A Advisors (the authors of the housing report) and to the newspaper’s coverage. It’s traditional to define the problem prior to developing a solution. If the author had read the report and commentary from the report’s […]

Letter to the editor: Pine Tree Power question should fall to state commission
I watched the AARP Webinar about Maine’s Question 3 on the November ballot. It is clear to me that there are huge unanswered questions that make it too risky to vote “yes” on this proposal to create Pine Tree Power. Instead of putting this question on the ballot, the Legislature should have created a commission […]
