I fully realize that we are all inundated with bad news these days: inflation, COVID, gun violence, reproductive rights, ad nauseam. And I care deeply about each of these issues, but none of it will matter much if we don’t take radical (yes, I said radical) steps to save the planet on which we live […]

Letter to the editor: Fair elections benefit democracy defender’s foes
It appears that Liz Cheney is at risk of losing her seat in the House of Representatives, likely due to her willingness to stand up to Donald Trump, and her participation in the Jan. 6 committee investigating Trump’s attempts to overthrow our government and thwart democracy. I wonder if the people looking to remove her […]

Letter to the editor: Lack of first responders in Kennebunk is just the start
A recent letter to the editor in the Kennebunk Post (“Reality check in Kennebunk,” July 14) hit home for me. I have been a resident of Kennebunk since 2001. I am raising two children here, one in college and the other in high school. But I can’t afford to live in Kennebunk. As of July […]

Letter to the editor: Feeling negatively about a second round of LePage
No, no, no. In my opinion, Paul LePage set Maine back when he was governor. Now he wants to be governor again. His negativity is a detriment to governing the great state of Maine. He even brings out my negativity, and I’m not a negative person. LePage seemed never to be able to work with […]

Letter to the editor: Opinions differ, that’s the point
It was generous of the Press Herald to print Norman Baker’s letter of July 12, in which he expressed displeasure with Greg Kesich’s work. We all have the right to complain, but Mr. Baker ended with this imperative: “Write the news, don’t make it up.” Mr. Baker seems to believe that opinion writers should not […]

Letter to the editor: Years later, I’m still worried about guns
The Supreme Court justices’ 6-3 decision last month on concealed-carry regulation is expected to ultimately allow more people to legally carry guns on the streets of the nation’s largest cities – New York, Los Angeles, Boston and elsewhere. I can’t think of a more harmful opinion by the court. I lived in New York City […]
