Letter to the editor: On clean energy, Maine’s elected officials should lead by example

It would be hypocritical for Gov. Mills and the legislators who backed the Maine Green New Deal to put off installing windmills and embracing carpools.

Letter to the editor: Patient thanks those who moved over for ambulance in Saco

My thanks to all who were in the heavy traffic congestion by Saco Middle School and those trying to enter Industrial Park Road headed to Portland via the Maine Turnpike last Thursday when an ambulance with flashing lights and blaring siren entered the traffic.

Letter to the editor: Impeachment trial offers chance to affirm will of American people

Counter to claims by certain lawmakers, this impeachment may actually affirm the will of the American people in the last election. I disagree with objections to this impeachment as something that would reprehensibly “overturn the will of the American people” as demonstrated in the last presidential election.

Letter to the editor: ICE director uses more fear than facts

Recently (Jan. 16), acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Matthew T. Albence, a man with considerable pulpits, was given an op-ed in the local Portland Press Herald.

Letter to the editor: More than Trump’s future at stake in impeachment trial

There is a tragedy of biblical proportions unfolding in Washington, and Sen. Susan Collins’ role in history is yet to be decided. High school civics would have taught her that witnesses, documents and other evidence is part of a real trial. President Trump is on record as willing to accept dirt from “friendly” countries. If […]

Letter to the editor: Collins’ decorum concerns show partisan bias

Re: “Collins says she raised concerns about Senate decorum” (Jan. 24): Really? It turns out that “Our Senator,” now the hall-monitor of Congress, wrote a note complaining about the “tone” of the interaction between Rep. Jerry Nadler and Trump attorney Pat Cipollone. Amazing. I immediately turned on the clip (hardly eye-popping). Then I followed up […]
