Letter to the editor: Vaccine mandate violates our liberties as citizens
I don’t understand how one can deny my children access to schools you force me to pay for because I refuse to jab them in the arm with needles. As a property owner in the state of Maine and as someone who dutifully pays their income tax every year, I know we have borne a […]

Letter to the editor: Romney’s, King’s conviction votes show self-reflection
I am deeply grateful for Sen. Angus King’s integrity and for the action he took following his oath as U.S. senator-juror in the president’s impeachment trial. I honor what I consider the depth of his self-reflection – and Sen. Mitt Romney’s as well. Given the utter centrality of oath-taking in the trial, I offer these […]

Letter to the editor: CMP project our best shot at fighting climate change
Ensuring that my kids (and great-grandchildren) have the same opportunity to experience the magic of the Maine outdoors that I have had has been the focus of my academic and professional careers. I am a dedicated environmentalist and have spent over a decade consulting at the confluence of energy and climate change. While my support […]

Letter to the editor: Collins has encouraged Trump’s misconduct
By stating “I believe that the president has learned from this case” and “I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future,” our senior senator, Susan Collins, showed that she is either dimwitted or afraid. After receiving her diploma from Caribou High School, Collins went on to graduate from St. Lawrence University […]

Letter to the editor: Self-described ‘moderates’ still fall in line with toxic GOP agenda
Sen. Susan Collins again claims to be a moderate Republican by voting to hear witnesses in the impeachment trial. But she toed the party line and voted to acquit with the thinnest justification: that President Trump had “learned from this case.” Yes, he learned that he can act with ever-greater impunity. Even if you grant […]

Letter to the editor: Land for Maine’s Future bill has a dark side
I was one of 54 people who testified against the Land for Maine’s Future bill (L.D. 911) last June because there was and still remains a dark side, buried in the legislation’s fine print: Section 5, 1.A. states: “Hunting, fishing, trapping and public access may not be prohibited on land acquired with bond proceeds, except […]

Letter to the editor: Memories of polio epidemic prompt ‘No on 1’ vote
I was a student nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston in the 1950s, during the polio epidemic. I volunteered for the inhalation (polio) ward. It was sad to see young adults, helpless in the iron lungs (negative-pressure ventilators or mechanical respirators to help people breathe). The iron lung held the whole body inside, except […]

Letter to the editor: Vote ‘no’ on 1 – vaccines are a public health issue, not a partisan one
Looking around Portland in the last few weeks, I’ve noticed a lot of signs demanding “Reject Big Pharma,” which confused me, as I was unaware of any measure on the ballot that was looking to tackle large pharmaceutical companies. And there isn’t any. “Reject Big Pharma” signs are at best misleading, and at worst an […]

Letter to the editor: Coverage of Irish election incomplete, misleading
The AP report mistakenly implied that 'the IRA was solely responsible for the death toll in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.'
