Letter to the editor: Hospital officials unable to justify disparity in costs
Recently I called the president of my local hospital. I got her answering machine and was told she’d get back to me. I asked her: Why would two CAT scans be $3,000 cheaper 30 miles down the road? And how could they justify the difference? I never got a reply, but I think I got […]

I would like to compliment South Portland for its response to climate change. I just saw solar panels going up on the South Portland Community Center, and was heartened.

Letter to the Editor: Nemitz employed scare tactics on power line
Bill Nemitz was quite clever in attempting to pooh-pooh people’s concerns about Question 1 by focusing on the word “retroactive” in the wording of this proposal and calling it a boogeyman. Nemitz is correct in that the retroactive nature of this law should not instill that much fear. What we need to fear is the […]

Letter to the Editor: Global warming, not power line, a real threat to environment
As a former executive assistant to both Democratic and Republican mayors, the issue around Hydro Quebec is not partisan for me. Rather it is about the environment. How can we seriously consider killing the corridor? Global warming and climate change is real and is scary. We are running out of time, and we must act […]

Letter to the editor: Congress should act now on climate change
We just had the hottest June in Maine on record followed by the rainiest July, with several days of smoky skies from a record-breaking fire season out West. The recent floods in the South and along the Mid-Atlantic coast make it all the more clear: we must act on climate change now. It is past […]

Letter to the editor: Now is the time for carbon pricing
I was heartened by the recent editorial (“Our View: Congress gets its last, best chance at meaningful climate action,” Sept. 19), in which the editorial board stresses the catastrophic consequences of climate change and the urgency of taking action to curb the worsening effects of fossil fuels. But their argument ultimately suggests that we should […]
