I have been dismayed by a number of recent letters criticizing Sen. Susan Collins’ vote against S.1, a bill that would have resulted in a federal takeover of the entire election system. Although it was branded a “voting rights bill,” it was actually a Trojan horse concealing a host of bad policies. One of the […]

Letter to the editor: With Pine Tree Power veto, Mills disregards Mainers’ energy future
A recent audit of Central Maine Power indicates that the utility and its parent are motivated not by customer service but by profit.

Letter to the editor: Former Maine legislator fails to substantiate criticism of voting rights law
In her July 15 letter to the editor, Amy Volk seems awfully confused. After boldly stating “the so-called ‘For the People’ Act is not what they (Democrats) claim,” she offers no proof. She cites an inequity in Delaware law that would be addressed in the legislation. Apparently, Volk thinks President Biden has some control over […]

Letter to the editor: Key questions need answers before Cape can act on housing proposal
As a resident of Cape Elizabeth who supports affordable housing, I was persuaded by the July 1 Press Herald editorial to support the proposed Town Center apartment development (“Our View: Every Maine community has to pitch in on affordable housing”). However, after reading several letters in our local Cape Courier, I realized it’s not so […]

Letter to the editor: Resist CMP’s pressure tactics – vote ‘yes’ to reject corridor
As a state representative, I can tell you that Central Maine Power is not telling the truth. CMP is talking out of both sides of its mouth.

As negotiations continue on the infrastructure package, climate action is frequently framed as being at odds with the economy, where taking any sort of effective action would come at a large cost. This could not be more wrong. First are the long-term implications, as unaddressed climate change spells disaster for future jobs and way of […]

We can’t afford to ignore dire forecasts of climate change and delay taking measures that would mitigate it.

Letter to the editor: There’s no such thing as a free electric vehicle charger
Having owned a bed-and-breakfast in Maine, and because of our association with a group of higher-quality inns, we had the fortune about 2014 to be the recipients of a no-cost promotional installation of twin electric vehicle chargers from Tesla. Since we had to install a separate breaker box for those lines (EVs require up to […]

Letter to the editor: For the People Act not what Democrats claim
Democratic leaders’ over-the-top rhetoric surrounding voting access should be Mainers’ first clue that the so-called “For the People” Act is not what they claim. President Biden called Georgia’s election law “Jim Crow in the 21st century,” despite Georgia having more early voting days (17) than his home state, Delaware (0). Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called a […]
