Your recent reprint from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, for many years my hometown newspaper, needs a clarifier (“Fetterman offers Democrats a path,” Nov. 12). The paper endorsed Trump in 2020, and this election endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz for U.S. senator. Well, they bet on the wrong horses, and their Fetterman editorial is little more than post-election […]

Letter to the editor: Sears Island, in its golden years, should be left alone
Searsport seems to be coming into its own recently with its own unique mini Acadia. Don’t kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

Letter to the editor: Grateful for the support of voters
I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Maine Senate District 32 – Arundel, Biddeford, Dayton, Hollis and Lyman – for electing me to be their next state senator. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve them and the entire state of Maine. I started my campaign over 11 […]

Letter to the editor: Election shows America can’t be fooled
MAGA extremism and all it stands for – fundamentalism, anti-democracy, violence, racism and its leader, Donald Trump, and its Maine expressions in Paul LePage and others – has been voted out.

Letter to the editor: Mills to be congratulated on constructive race
I would like to thank Maine voters for the reelection of Janet Mills as governor, both for the positive things she will do in her next term, but also for saving us from another LePage term. LePage highlighted this by accusing the governor of dishonesty and elitism in his last appearance, showing his true colors […]

Letter to the editor: Reporting should focus on successful ballot questions
The Press Herald’s reporting of the Portland Charter questions sways heavily to changes that will not happen. It would be more beneficial to the public to learn about things that did pass so that they will know what changes to expect in city government. Clean elections, citizen review of police and an ethics commission are […]

Letter to the editor: Flagging a potential issue
When did our police officers become flaggers at construction sites all around Portland? As the Press Herald reports a rise in crime around the city, I wonder: Is this the best use of their time and our money? Jeff Griffiths Portland
