Letter to the editor: Collins’ record nothing to brag about
Would someone please tell me why Sen. Susan Collins thinks allowing pharmacists to talk to their customers about cheaper medication options is such a huge accomplishment? Why isn’t she holding the pharmaceutical companies accountable and forcing them to lower prices? Access to needed drugs should not be a privilege, but a right. Oh, and while […]

Letter to the editor: EPA rollback endangers first responders, public
Washington Post reporter Juliet Eilperin’s article in this paper Nov. 22 – “EPA rolls back the safety requirements adopted after deadly Texas chemical explosion” (Page A7) – just leaves me furious. By this action, our government fails to protect its people. The rolled-back regulations were put in place after the deadly 2013 fertilizer plant explosion […]

Letter to the editor: Let’s focus on the health care needs of the working class
I agree with the Press Herald Editorial Board, in their Dec. 3 editorial, when they wrote, “Newborn American babies should not be facing ever-shorter life expectancies because we failed to act.” It is clear that more should be done to help those in the working class to get the support they need.

Letter to the editor: South Portland firefighters shouldn’t put pump trucks away yet
This is just a follow-up about the Nov. 27 Press Herald story “Exactly 150 years after Sebago Lake water arrived in Portland, focus is still on keeping it clean.” The city of Portland is also on sea level, just like South Portland.

Letter to the editor: Brunswick death shows we need to help those born here
I can’t tell you how much it breaks my heart to find out that there was a homeless man in Brunswick, Russell Williams, who died sleeping by the train tracks while waiting for housing. Russell Williams had recently received a housing voucher but because you only have 60 days to find housing, he was not […]

Letter to the editor: Restrictions needed to prevent disruption to U.S. immigration system
The recent proposal by the White House to increase the time that asylum seekers have to wait to get a work permit caused an immediate reaction. The proposal, announced by Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, would increase the time asylum seekers would have to wait to get a work permit, […]
