My name is Donna Raymond. I have been an employee of Central Maine Power since 1990. Like many Mainers, I’ve been critical of some of the decisions made by the company over the years, but in my 30-plus years, I have never doubted that providing excellent service to our customers has always been the ultimate […]

Letter to the editor: Collins trying to distract us from her failure to safeguard voting access
Sen. Susan Collins would like us to believe that her support for clarifying the Electoral Count Act is an adequate substitution for her refusal to allow a vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would have safeguarded every American’s fundamental, unimpeded access to voting. It’s not. Not even close. When states endeavor […]

Letter to the editor: Debate with Georgia colleague doesn’t reflect well on Sen. Collins
In the Senate voting rights debate Jan. 19, I was proud of one of my senators and embarrassed by the other. When Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., invited Sen.

However, after just a short time there, I was inspired to do more to help the organization and Healthy Living for ME (HL4ME) further its excellent mission of creating a healthier Maine.

Letter to the Editor: Republican agenda won’t make a better country
What is the Republican Party’s 21-year vision for America? Maine citizens deserve to understand why the GOP supports policies that oppose a safer, more equitable and environmentally friendly U.S.A. I refer to these policies: • Second Amendment gun proliferation – inadequate controls over gun access and licensing. Republican party gun policies are encouraging endemic gun […]

Letter to the editor: Only King is trying to defend U.S. election process
The headline on a front-page Jan. 20 Press Herald article (“Both Maine senators act to safeguard the process for U.S. elections”), claiming that both Sens. Angus King and Susan Collins are working to safeguard the process for U.S. elections, is a massive misstatement of the legislative facts. While it is true that both of Maine’s […]

Letter to the editor: Maine privacy amendment would recognize ‘right … to be let alone’
In 1890, Boston attorney Samuel Warren and his law partner, future Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, wrote of the “general right of the individual to be let alone.” It is in keeping with that sentiment that an amendment to the Maine Constitution is proposed. The language of the proposal reads: “All natural persons have an […]

Letter to the editor: Collins, King not aligned on vote-counting proposal
A headline on a recent Press Herald article doesn’t make clear that the Republican senator is seeking only an incremental fix.
