I urge Democrats and independents participating in the June 9 Democratic primary to rank Joe Baldacci first as a candidate for U.S. representative in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. His knowledge of the issues is detailed and substantive and second to none. In talking to him and seeing his messaging, it is clear Baldacci is motivated […]

Traitor Platner has no business serving in the Senate | Letter
I hunted deer in the “Big Woods” in Maine while staying at my uncle’s hunting lodge after I returned from Vietnam serving with the Marines, which brings me to senatorial candidate Graham Platner. Marine Platner is a disloyal disgrace to the Corps who violated his sworn oath to defend the United States. He and his […]

Remember that Janet Mills is still on the ballot | Letter
Lead-ins to Press Herald columnists’ remarks seem pretty sexist these days. “Controversies aside,” Douglas Rooks says, “Graham Platner’s message threatens everything the ruling class has foisted…” Then there’s Steve Collins, “Unfortunately for Graham Platner, he needs women on his side to win….” Reducing Graham Platner’s character flaws to “controversies” — the Nazi tattoo, his false […]

Waiting for the pipe to burst on Graham Platner | Letter
Drip by drip the stories come out about Graham Platner. Are we waiting for the pipe to burst and flood the hold before we come to our senses? If we think all the negative stories are out there, just wait until the biggest guns of the Republican Party take aim on the oyster farmer. They’ll […]

Reelect Jackie Sartoris as Cumberland County DA | Letter
Cumberland County is safer today because Jackie Sartoris is our district attorney, and I want to keep it that way. I’ve known Sartoris since our early days working on environmental policy in Augusta. Even then, she brought the same mix of backbone and practicality she now brings to the DA’s office. In her first term, […]

Judgment of Shah’s supporters was inappropriate | Letter
I find Kathleen Sullivan’s recent op-ed concerning Dr. Nirav Shah (“Is a warm, fuzzy feeling enough to make Nirav Shah governor?” May 27) troubling. The great majority of professional mental health providers avoid diagnosing or psychoanalyzing individuals who are not in direct treatment with them. That Ms. Sullivan opts to psychoanalyze Shah supporters en masse, […]

Maine’s social programs must incorporate accountability | Letter
With the HIV outbreak freshly on our minds, the statistics, costs and demonstrable failures are mounting up … sadly, along with the number of lives that are being forever affected. So people who demonstrate no independence in core competencies/components of living, and who are receiving tax or non-tax-funded food, shelter, healthcare/medicine, etc., have no accountability […]

Our news outlets have shortchanged the public.
