I work at a fast-food restaurant and I know that marijuana is legal in Maine. The reason that I mention the marijuana is because I have noticed that some people, when going through the drive-thru, are smoking not only cigarettes but marijuana also. There are minors working at the drive-thru who are consistently being exposed […]

Rep. Jared Golden’s recent position against President Biden’s loan forgiveness program is misconceived. More troubling was his use of inflammatory language referring to some persons that disagree with his position as “Twitterati” having “privileged status.” Rep.

First, the writer states that those who indicted Donald Trump couldn’t care less about potential crimes committed by President Biden. I see no […]

In response to the Aug. 10 letter regarding the Trump indictments (“The indictments against Donald Trump are politically motivated, but you already know that”): I travel extensively around the world. Living in a country where the rule of law prevails is absolutely key for freedom to prevail. The rule of law is fundamental to the […]
