After Fourth of July fireworks light up Portland’s summer skies, there could be no better celebration of our Declaration of Independence than to exercise the principles embedded in our Constitution and launch an investigation to impeach the president of the United States. Thomas Jefferson states it clearly in our Declaration: “A Prince (president), whose character […]

Letter to the editor: Democrats should focus on meddling that occurred on Obama’s watch
Once again, in back-to-back news coverage and opinion writing in the Press Herald, biased headlines attack President Trump. I refer to your July 3 Washington Post story, “House Democrats sue to gain access to Trump’s tax returns” (Page A3), and, on the very next page, a New York Daily News editorial, “Another View: How low […]

The great outdoors are synonymous with Maine’s brand. Our state is home to some of the most breathtaking public lands in the country, from Acadia National Park to Sebago Lake. With dozens of public parks and recreation spaces, it’s no wonder that Maine’s pristine natural resources draw 37 million tourists each year. One of the best ways […]

Letter to the editor: To revile immigrants is to attack what we stand for
My grandparents emigrated from what is now Slovakia at the time of the Bolshevik revolution. They wanted to move to a country where individual freedom was practiced. A house, an acre of land, a large garden and a Plymouth in Masury, Ohio, were supported by my grandfather, working in the steel mills next door in […]

Letter to the editor: Rein in Cumberland’s proposed building, paving spree
On July 8, Cumberland will hold a hearing on more building and paving, which will affect our climate. Cumberland has expanded its footprint for many years and now has an abundance of meeting space, including a seldom-used room at Prince Memorial Library, new space in its expanded firehouse and a seldom-used meeting hall in West […]
