As expected, Shenna Bellows does not, in any way, describe the wishes of Maine voters with her proposed referendum question for the upcoming election. The majority of voters of Maine wanted it perfectly clear that men (assigned male at birth) have no place in women’s sports, women’s bathrooms or women’s detention facilities. Bellows is not […]

Disappointed by Press Herald’s anti-Platner coverage | Letter
I have been really disappointed by the Press Herald’s strikingly negative coverage of the Graham Platner campaign. There has been such a clearly negative bias, consistently across article after article, culminating in the recent story about a small focus group that was “reluctantly” supporting Platner. Somehow this newspaper seems to be missing the groundswell of […]

Hannah Pingree is my No. 1 choice for governor | Letter
I first saw Hannah Pingree as a young girl, modeling wool sweaters in a knitting book published by her family’s North Haven sheep and yarn business. Perhaps that’s where Hannah began her business education — learning at home, in the family business. I met 14-year-old Hannah when she and her mother co-presented a Camden Conference […]

Left in the dark on SAVE America Act | Letter
Sharon Bemis wrote an op-ed on April 8 in support of Sen. Susan Collins and the “SAVE America” Act (I’m adding the quotes because I do not believe it will save America anything). Bemis praised Collins for her principled support of what I deem to be an unnecessary act. Plain and simple, if we must […]

The answer to the question is Medicare for all | Letter
There’s a very simple answer to the astronomic rising costs in our country for health care: Medicare for all. Remember when President Clinton proposed the “health care security card”? How long ago was that? And how long we have continued to attempt something like it? We cannot keep going down this shaky road of subjecting […]

Mills will hit the ground running in DC | Letter
Janet Mills should be Maine’s next senator. Her age and experience are a plus. Research and development, whether in health care or renewable energy, is on life support. Our environment is under attack. Our foreign policy, or lack thereof, is appalling. While I’m sure Graham Platner is well intentioned, and I thank him for his military […]

Do local Trump voters know what they’re supporting? | Letter
For a very long time, I have worked a job where I interact with the community daily. I use my hands, and my back and my heart. I serve food and drink, laugh with people, hold the door, hold their children. Then, I clean up after them and tell them to have a good night. […]

Stop Trump’s war-making spree | Letter
I would like to add my voice to those who have already written to protest the president’s illegal war in Iran, on top of his unjustified attacks and threats of attack on other parts of the world. Congress has the power to restrain Trump’s war-making spree and I call on them to act without delay […]

No tax on Social Security, eh? | Letter
Once again we are being scammed by the false promises of politicians. They all sound good when wanting our votes, but someone needs to explain the meaning of the word “no” to those who promised no tax on Social Security and overtime. Anyone who recently filed their tax return has learned that “No” doesn’t mean […]
