Do sanctions work? Clearly the age of war is in the past. The issues facing us are global and require us to work together. Vladimir Putin doesn’t understand that, and the people of Ukraine don’t see an alternative to defending themselves. How about incentives rather than sanctions?

Letter to the editor: Republicans should ease up on acrimony, focus on issues

Omar’s tweet about the traveling Christian singers?” April 20) about the Republican doctrine of hatred. I have also seen the beg letters […]

Letter to the Editor: Sticking with standard time all year
I heartily agree with Warner Price’s April 1 letter, “The dark side of daylight saving time” (Page A6). Observing daylight saving time year-round would be a big mistake. In the winter in Maine, there are only about nine hours of daylight, so, what you gain on the evening end, you lose on the morning end. […]

Letter to the Editor: Mainer gets hungry waiting for waffles
I realize that this may not be the best place to voice these opinions, but my friends are tired of hearing me discuss this and I feel this may be my last resort. Nonetheless, it is necessary to state that Portland is severely lacking in its waffle options. I have spent the past few months, […]

Letter to the Editor: GOP should stop voter fraud in their own party
President Biden’s election was free, fair and decisive. There was no widespread voter fraud despite Republican cries of a “stolen” election, accompanied by a plethora of crazy and costly conspiracy theories.

Letter to the editor: Hannaford should support farmworkers, join Milk With Dignity program
The rising cost of food has been on everyone’s mind. As we grapple with this, we must also consider the working conditions of those who bring us the dairy products we enjoy. Maine has a vibrant farming community, including hardworking migrant dairy farmworkers. The farmworker organization Migrant Justice is calling on Maine’s Hannaford Supermarkets to […]
