It’s time to vote “yes” for new Cape Elizabeth schools. Doing nothing to our decaying buildings imperils our teachers’ and students’ safety and learning. Unless the bond passes, the town will continue to pour money into unsafe schools and ancient infrastructure. A renovation will require a new referendum, which will cost more money and waste […]

Letter to the editor: Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine should move away from endorsements
I am writing regarding the dispute between former Gov. Paul LePage and the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine (“LePage, sportsmen’s group tussle over $40 million fish hatchery,” Sept. 26). LePage refused to commit to spending $40 million in taxpayer dollars to fund a new fish hatchery. Bravo to Gov. LePage! On the other hand, Gov. Mills […]
Letter to the editor: Reelect engaged, accomplished Rep. Gramlich
The measure of a public servant is neither their political party or years of service, nor involvement in political banter. Success is measured by how engaged they are within the community they serve. Democrat Lori Gramlich, who represents House District 131, is that person. She volunteers at the Rock the Park Concerts, where she is […]
Letter to the editor: Brogan Teel is the real deal in Senate District 24
Republican Brogan Teel earns my vote for Maine Senate District 24. In times when many people are struggling with finances and may not be able to afford home heating oil, Brogan’s opponent, Mattie Daughtry, cosponsored L.D. 434 in January 2019, an act that would have raised the prices of gasoline and heating oil. As a […]
Letter to the editor: Website crash a miss for deer hunters
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife owes all Mainers a detailed explanation of how this failure occurred.
Letter to the editor: Keep Mattie Daughtry in Senate District 24
Democratic state Sen. Mattie Daughtry is a Maine person. She encapsulates our Maine values of working hard for good causes, devotion to our community and land, doing her part, and being there for others when it matters most. I am a Brunswick resident and an educator and I have known Mattie for years. Our paths […]
Letter to the editor: Support Eloise Vitelli for State Senate
I invite others to join me in voting to reelect Democratic Sen. Eloise Vitelli on Nov. 8. Eloise has served the people of Maine both as a legislator and through New Ventures Maine. She supports increasing the minimum wage so hardworking Mainers working full time have the chance to earn a livable wage. She cosponsored […]
Letter to the editor: Vote for Henry Ingwersen in Senate District 32
I am supporting Democrat Henry Ingwersen for Maine Senate District 32. My reasons for supporting Henry are because of the care and compassion he has for individuals and his community. My daughter was one of Henry’s students and he was one of her best teachers. A dedicated educator, Henry made sure all children believed they […]
Letter to the editor: The dumbing down of higher education
Wow! A professor raises the bar, has high expectations and he gets fired – because students complained that the class was just “too hard.” And New York University succumbs to the whining. A reminder, colleges and universities are suppose to be schools of ‘higher’ education. In reality, are they now going to dumb down the […]
Letter to the editor: Jan. 6 insurrection was treason; plotters must be punished accordingly
Those who plotted an armed uprising against our democratic republic should be charged with treason and tried, and those found guilty must be locked up for life or executed. I am a 10th- and 12th-generation Yankee White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and I believe that no citizen of this country should ever be permitted to foment treason […]
