The inaccurate and illogical commercials alleging that Ballot Question 1 will change the law show the desperation of CMP and its Canadian partner. The previous assertion – that the power line would bring jobs to Maine – was abandoned, probably because it was wrong-headed. At present Maine construction companies, large and small, have plenty of […]

Letter to the editor: Link entitlements to national service stint
In typical Washington style, a few needed programs have mushroomed into a giveaway bonanza. But how will all these potential gifts affect the country as a whole? Should we expect safer, healthier and more productive citizens, improved parenting or a better-educated and more empathetic society? I don’t expect to see any of that happen. We […]

Letter to the editor: Young, low-income Portlanders’ housing needs overlooked
I am compelled to write this as I watch another luxury condo being built down the block from where I live in East Bayside. I question, how can the developers who have built so many of these high-end buildings put their rights as a businessperson ahead of being a good humanitarian? A humanitarian would also […]

Letter to the editor: Letter ridiculing students’ climate change effort is off the mark
Jack Reetz’ letter (“Lead by Example on Climate Change,” Oct. 5) tries to ridicule a student-led effort to divest 100 percent of the University of Maine’s fossil fuel investments. He sarcastically suggests that UMaine students should “immediately divest themselves of every form of their fossil-fuel transportation for the rest of this school year” and that […]

Letter to the editor: Newspaper misrepresented progressives in school board story
I take issue with your newspaper’s account (Oct. 5) of the loss of two Portland school board members, which states they “are stepping away … citing a lack of collaboration and tolerance for differing viewpoints, especially those that don’t align with progressive values.” Sarah Thompson, who is dropping her campaign for re-election, says the board […]

Letter to the editor: Golden wise to seek better, not bigger, government
Isn’t it interesting that Editorial Page Editor Greg Kesich (“The View From Here: Golden’s ‘Mr. Smith’ stand is not helping,” Oct. 3) believes U.S. Rep. Jared Golden needs to be schooled by film references just because his infrastructure posture creates inconvenience for the overspending advocates behind House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Mr. Kesich clearly supports the […]

Letter to the editor: Newspapers urged to support fairness in climate action
On behalf of Maine friends Sam Cady, M.D.; small-business owner KC Hughes; Lisa Morris, Ph.D., and Jesse Wall, owner of TruStrength Fitness in Norway, we agree with the Sept. 19 editorial, headlined “Our View: The last, best chance at major climate action,” in the Maine Sunday Telegram (Page D2), the Kennebec Journal Sunday and the […]

Letter to the editor: Curran will advocate for all as Portland councilor
As a lifelong resident of Portland and member of the Charter Commission representing North Deering, Riverton and Deering Center, I wholeheartedly believe that at-large City Council candidate Travis Curran will be a breath of fresh air for Portland politics. I know he will be an outstanding advocate for all Portland residents, on- and off-peninsula, including […]
