To all the anti-vaccine and anti-mask people out there, who feel it is their “right” not to get the vaccine or wear a mask, I can only say it is not your right to spread infection. You have no idea who you are coming in contact with every day. There are people who are immune-suppressed […]

Letter to the editor: CMP transmission corridor can bring jobs to Maine
Through the construction of the transmission corridor, there is a great opportunity to bring thousands of jobs to Maine.

Sen. Susan Collins, in voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, reassured us that a woman’s right to choose, codified in Roe v.

Letter to the editor: B&M plant closure is sad, but it could be worse
Like most people, I was sad to read the news about the closure of the B&M plant in Portland. To say it was a landmark is an understatement and the company will be missed. The good news is that there is a developer waiting to take over the closed plant immediately to save the area […]

Letter to the editor: Abortion foes’ concerns about babies are quite limited
As I read the articles about abortion limitations being considered in various states, I am astounded that I have yet to see any discussion of the men who fathered these unwanted children. Apparently these lawmakers believe in “immaculate conception.” I also find it of interest that there is no real discussion of how to insure […]

A question to the anti-vaxxers: Whatever happened to “Love thy neighbor?” Surely this commandment is more important than your personal freedom to spread death. Linda Wright Sheehan Sebago
