In his Nov. 15 Boston Globe commentary, Sen. Angus King once again sounded the alarm that “a constitutional crisis is unfolding before our eyes.” This was King’s latest urgent appeal for Americans to wake up to the precarious state of our democracy. It follows his October speech on the Senate floor, arguably the best speech […]

Letter to the editor: No reason exists to publish photos of dead deer
I realize that Maine’s deer population must be culled annually to keep it under control, and I’m glad some families will now have meat for the winter, but this doesn’t mean I have to like deer hunting season. My next-door neighbor just hung his prize from a tree that I can see from my yard. […]

Letter to the Editor: Health care system should focus on wellness
I take great offense to the commentary by the president of Maine Medical Center. If people would just take control of their own health, there would be no need for this huge behemoth. I do believe there are truly caring individuals who work for this conglomerate. I also believe there are times when they are […]

Letter to the Editor: Editorial Board unfair to Maine State Police
The Editorial Board of this paper wants to condemn the entire Maine State Police Department because of court rulings concerning one trooper. What a broad brush, that is completely unfair and just wrong. In the 1970s, I was a young trooper patrolling the Maine Turnpike. Early one morning I clocked a semi-truck at 95 miles […]

Save the sympathy for the innocents anti-vax Republicans will infect through their selfishness.

Letter to the Editor: There’s still time to stem climate change
At the end of October, I could not sleep because nature seemed so out of whack with the constant rain, bright green grass and warm weather. Global warming has concerned me for decades but now the results are here. Climate change does not cause storms, but it makes them worse – the warm air carries […]

Letter to the editor: Capitalism’s failures don’t begin, end with a woman’s right to choose
I strongly disagree with Meredith Kerr’s Nov. 14 letter to the editor (“Roe could be linked to current worker shortage”) and the Press Herald’s decision to publish it. In just under two years, 761,930 Americans have died from COVID-19. Three million more American workers chose (or were forced) to take early retirement in 2020 than […]

Letter to the editor: Reserve Maine elections for Maine residents
Please sign a petition to qualify a referendum that would keep foreign governments from being able to influence ballot fights in our state.

Letter to the editor: Carbon cashback will help U.S. meet climate goals
Your Nov. 16 editorial on climate policy noted that the Build Back Better Act will likely include $550 billion of incentives to transition to renewables over the next decade. However, that will only get two-thirds of the job done to reach President Biden’s goal of a 50 percent drop in emissions by 2030. Carbon cashback […]

Letter to the editor: Join heroes in helping to end COVID pandemic
I so appreciate the Central Maine Power workers when I see them pulling long shifts to restore power during a power outage. I view them as heroes during these times. I can be patient for days without power because I see their dedication. But imagine, now, a two-year ice storm. Do you think those heroes […]
