Letter to the editor: Intentional walk was not needed with big lead
The Marshwood High School community was totally embarrassed by their girls softball coach on Friday in Falmouth. In probably the worst display of unsportsmanlike conduct ever exhibited in the state of Maine, the “Coach” intentionally walked Falmouth’s only senior, on senior day, in her last at bat of her high school career. And this was […]

Letter to the editor: The PUC has right to ocean wind information
Two wrongs don’t make a right. LD 994 (Resolve, To Require the Approval by the Public Utilities Commission of a Proposal for a Long-term Contract for Deep-water Offshore Wind Energy) though perhaps well intended, is deeply flawed. While recently approved by the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee, let’s be clear. In August 2018, the Maine […]

Letter to the editor: Do the math – firearms are a public health risk
I happen to be in favor of reasonable gun control to reduce firearm deaths in this country, but that is not why I am writing this letter. I just finished reading a letter to the editor in today’s paper (“Maine Voices author exaggerates threat posed by guns,” May 26). The author’s argument seems to be […]

From three years of experience working at a local Burger King, I can definitely say that this bill is much needed. In […]

Letter to the editor: Bill would give Maine workers their day in court
Now that all my children have entered the workforce, I am surprised to learn that in order for them to work for most corporations, they must sign an arbitration agreement as a condition of employment. The agreement is created by and for the corporation’s benefit alone. In the excitement of being hired to work at […]

Letter to the editor: Expanded to presidential selection, ranked-choice would honor the will of Maine voters
As someone who waited for hours in line during the 2016 presidential caucus only to leave without having participated, I am strongly in favor of L.D. 1083. Passage of this bill not only moves Maine from a caucus to a primary state – which makes it much easier to participate in the process – but […]

Letter to the editor: Mueller violates prosecutorial conduct standards
It is crystal clear that in speaking publicly about his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, Robert Mueller had partisan intent. Prosecutors never render any judgment of guilt or innocence. They either recommend indicting a defendant or not. It is up to a judge or jury to render a guilty or innocent verdict. […]
