Letter to the editor: Collins, King should pursue public censure of Trump

I think there has been ample evidence of behavior by the president that qualifies as “high crimes and misdemeanors” including: bribery in the form of corporate and foreign money spent at Trump properties; a pattern of obstruction in the Mueller and House investigations; witness intimidation; using U.S. government resources and influence for personal gain. While […]

Letter to the editor: Show that you care about others’ well-being – vote ‘no’ on 1

I still wince when children get vaccines, and I am no fan of Big Pharma. But after a long pediatric career, I believe we must vote “No on 1.” The wording of the March referendum is confusing and misleading, as was the petition drive to get it on the ballot. This is about public health, […]

Letter to the editor: Disavowal of College Republicans deals blow to free speech at UMaine

Make no mistake: The coup going on at the University of Maine against the originally chartered University of Maine College Republicans is just one more move to destroy free speech on college campuses.

Letter to the editor: Sen. King favors unconstitutional limits on presidential powers

Re: “Sen. King: Impeachment acquittal would shift power to White House” (Jan. 27, Page B4): While not surprised that the “independent” Sen. Angus King staked out his position regarding the obstruction of Congress impeachment charge prior to hearing the president’s defense, I was shocked to hear his reasoning. To suggest that a president utilizing his […]

Letter to the editor: Misleading signs ignore public health risk of vaccine law repeal

The risk of a viral pandemic, as is occurring in Wuhan, China, points to the fundamental reason that immunizations against communicable diseases are essential to protect our children from preventable infectious illnesses. And yet, proponents of the outrageous effort to negate the mandatory school vaccination law passed by the Maine Legislature last year close their […]

Letter to the editor: Rebuke of ‘sloppy gun owners’ not grounded in reality

Your Our View of Jan. 21 (“Pro-gun groups should denounce sloppy gun owners“) was some of the most honest babble I’ve read in your paper for some time. You imply that we (the gun owners) are supposed to go after the “sloppy gun owners” when they forget about a gun in their baggage, etc. I […]

Letter to the editor: Students who walk and bike should be considered

It’s nice to see the Maine Legislature will consider converting the state’s 3,000 school buses to 100 percent all-electric by 2040 (L.D. 1894). Something else should be done right now: Direct Maine’s Department of Education to get serious about its responsibility toward children who walk or bike to school. In two recent school construction projects […]
