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. The water pressure on fire hydrants on Summit Street in Portland is 40 […]

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: Gorham connector plan doesn’t jibe with governor’s climate plan
A toll highway linking the Maine Turnpike to the western suburbs will only enlarge our state's carbon footprint.

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.

Letter to the editor: Ride provider fails to follow through for Maine patients
My concern is how LogistiCare runs. I’m a former rider with them. There have been times when I had an appointment at the doctor’s office. The driver would come one hour before my appointment and wouldn’t pick me up until an hour and a half after. There were times when I had another appointment on […]

Letter to the editor: Change in number, timing of signals could make it easier to navigate Cottage Road
As a new resident on Cottage Road, we are very much enjoying what South Portland has to offer. The one concern that we have is the traffic on Cottage Road – particularly Portland inbound traffic.

Letter to the editor: Americans’ murders should deter NFL from competing in Mexico
I was just thinking, while watching the Nov. 19 football game between the Chargers and the Chiefs from Mexico City: Doesn’t playing this game in a country that is controlled by drug cartels and where nine American women and children recently were murdered by these cartels give the NFL pause about playing in this country, […]

Letter to the editor: We’re allowing Trump, Republicans to downplay outrageous conduct
I’m a Democrat. But sometimes I shudder. I wish, for instance, that Republicans have been the ones sounding the alarm of climate change, with Democrats the deniers. Could there be a worse way to generate alarm than to refer to an impending global disaster as “global warming” evoking feelings of comfort and coziness? Only marginally […]

Letter to the editor: Mainers expect better from Sen. Collins
My father and mother were Republican voters for most of their adult lives. One of my standout memories is my father explaining having to fire a longtime colleague in his university department for falsifying travel expense reports. I equated being Republican with having high integrity. My sense now, after watching President Trump, is radically different. […]
