After touting the advantages of Central Maine Power’s New England Clean Energy Connect and singing their praises, maybe Janet Mills has awakened to the reality that CMP’s NECEC offers little support reaching Maine’s zero-carbon goal. Since taking office, she’s been remarkably silent on the fact that CMP’s rating among business customers is the worst in […]

I would like to make a comment regarding your Feb. 18 article about the South Portland High School guidance counselor, Thomas Bradford, being put on leave for his statements about the Black Student Union.

Letter to the editor: Political censuring result of party-fueled factionism
There was a time when we honored our elected representatives for using their heads, voting their consciences and representing all of their constituents. Now, political operatives censure them for not mindlessly following the edicts of faction, and “primary” has become a verb wielded as a threat. It’s time for the party system to work for […]

Letter to the Editor: Collins thanked for PPP lifeline
Our restaurant, like most others, runs on razor thin margins even during the best of times, which is why the past 11 months have been so difficult for the industry. Thankfully, we’ve been able to qualify for two rounds of Sen. Susan Collins’ Paycheck Protection Program, which has allowed us to stay afloat, adapt and […]

Letter to the editor: By condemning Collins, Maine Republican Party yields to political pressure
The Maine Republican Party has condemned Sen. Susan Collins for her vote to convict Donald Trump. I am an independent but have always voted for Susan Collins until she supported Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and, for the first time, I did not vote for her in 2020. However, I am 100 percent behind her and her […]
