Letter to the editor: Credit unions, banks not interchangeable
Re: The briefs on the Jan. 11 Close to Home page (“Bank provides meals to front-line workers,” Page B3): Town & Country Federal Credit Union is not a bank. It is a credit union. Credit unions are cooperatives, owned by and operated for the benefit of their members (customers, if you will), whereas banks are […]

Letter to the editor: To increase number of Maine CNAs, change screening process
I was interested to learn that measures are being taken to increase the number of certified nursing assistants. I have a suggestion of a measure that would immediately increase the number of CNAs.

Letter to the editor: All Democratic votes needed on behalf of voting rights
In his letter to the editor published Jan. 11, Patrick Norton notes, concerning voting rights legislation in the Senate, “circumstances in which a single senator could stand in the way of the overwhelming majority will of the people.” But, in fact, 52 senators are standing in the way: two Democrats and the entire Republican caucus […]

Letter to the editor: Front-page exposure doesn’t burnish legislator’s image
I always thought having my picture on the front page of the Press Herald would be an honor if I did something noteworthy and deserved to make the front page. When Friday’s paper, Jan. 7, arrived, a picture of a state representative (Beth O’Connor) was on the front page: another one of those Republicans who […]

Letter to the editor: Portland must allow immigrant to install husband’s headstone
Shafia Safai’s plight is heartbreaking (“Portland-area family’s mourning put on hold over General Assistance rules,” Jan. 10). Our country’s treatment of immigrants is deplorable. Portland’s rules and regulations show little or no compassion for someone who has suffered much. The beautiful headstone, befitting the dignity of her husband and his family, was created with funds […]
