Enough is enough. When are these shootings going to end? I am embarrassed to live in this country. More shootings every day. Unfortunately, the NRA controls the Republicans. Stop the madness. Jeff Gahm Alfred

Letter to the editor: Another argument for commonsense gun reforms
I would ask the following question to anyone who opposes the current state-level proposals to add background checks for private sales and institute a 72-hour waiting period on firearm purchases: Do you believe police officers, whose job is to protect our community by responding to dangerous situations, should have to risk their lives because they […]

Letter to the editor: Mifepristone ruling the product of political ideology

Letter to the editor: The U.S. does not want negotiated peace

Letter to the editor: No to Nordic Aquafarms’ plan
Just a few weeks ago, a seventh lawsuit was filed against Nordic Aquafarms, the Norwegian company that aims to build a $500 million industrial salmon farm in Belfast. As concerned Mainers, we must support our local communities and stand strong in the face of moneyed interests. Industrial-scale projects like the one proposed by Nordic Aquafarms […]
