Letter to the editor: Unvaccinated caregivers put the vulnerable at risk
They don’t belong in a nursing home any more than a firefighter with matches belongs in a dry forest.

Letter to the editor: One person, one vote would usher in equal representation
I’d like to submit a really subversive, radical idea to the people of Maine today: What if each citizen had one equivalent vote for each election? What if our president were elected by one vote per person? What if our federal legislative body were selected by one vote from each citizen? Instead, citizens from Maine, […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t believe the hype – CMP’s proposed corridor is bad for Maine
Being a pessimist is challenging, as I often become discouraged by what I see on television. Whenever I see the New England Clean Energy Connect advertisements, I stifle my outrage. Such lies indicating this project is creating jobs for Mainers. Its presence will harm regional tourism, the biomass industry and related forest products industries. Maine-based […]

There are also schools of many types that offer a wide range of “quality” educational programs. And, if you want to be […]

Letter to the editor: Complex building proposal requires Cape Elizabeth’s review
I was really perplexed by the July 6 letter by Zoe Gaston regarding the so-called “affordable” housing project being discussed by Cape Elizabeth leaders and its people. To be sure, I’m still researching the proposal and its merits and drawbacks. But, as a former resident, Ms. Gaston should know better than to assume that signage […]

Letter to the editor: It’s time to invest in Maine
As superintendent of the York Sewer District in York Beach, I understand the importance of wastewater treatment infrastructure to the well-being and success of our state. I’m writing to urge our congressional delegation to support the broad federal infrastructure bill in its entirety. Our district in York is a medium-sized wastewater collection and treatment facility.
