Letter to the editor: Even clean energy comes at a cost

Some thoughts on clean energy, the future and recent letters to the editor concerning the New England power line: I agree we should not have corporate monopolies. Yes, mega dams have not always had the best design for the land or their neighbors, but they’ve been built and they produce huge amounts of electricity that […]

Letter to the editor: No 2020 political ads until it’s 2020 – please

Are we seriously going to have to suffer through 11 months of political ads for the U.S. Senate race? For the love of everything that is good, can we please get a break from this stuff until it actually counts? It was within days of the last election when the posturing and positioning began overwhelming […]

Letter to the editor: Think creatively to address Maine’s vehicle emissions problem

The vehicle emissions problem described in your Dec. 15 article looks insurmountable at first glance. But our better selves understand we have a huge problem that requires our best thinking and efforts.

Letter to the editor: Don’t look away when you suspect abuse

After reading all the articles about the beating death of little Marissa Kennedy, I felt urged to write. As I read these articles, with tear-filled eyes, I can’t help but wonder: Someone had to know that something was wrong! The social worker, a neighbor, a teacher, a friend or relative. Maybe it’s easier to look […]

Letter to the editor: Close look at Collins’ ties to Big Pharma donors appreciated

I was impressed by Victoria Hugo-Vidal’s Dec. 8 column. Impressed because she did what few people do: She looked into federal election records and found out, in a half hour, that Sen. Susan Collins received $40,000 from from the companies most responsible for the opioid crisis, and she knows there is much more. I was […]

Letter to the editor: Real issue with face-scanning software is ability to provide correct IDs

I read the Maine Voices column “Portland should ban face-scanning software – now” (Dec. 11) with many questions. I see that the problem is whether the software is good enough to give true identification and therefore be worth the price. As far as identifying someone in a particular place, that is their problem and responsibility. […]

Letter to the editor: With impeachment vote, senators should honor oath of office

I suspect there are several cases of colliding thoughts in the heads of many Republican senators as it relates to Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. With all of the testimony, most from credible witnesses, it is a little difficult not to think Trump committed an egregious act by engaging a foreign power in some form in […]
