Letter to the editor: Ad covers up Collins’ inaction on diabetes

I am writing today in response to a television ad for Sen. Susan Collins’ re-election campaign. The ad features a lovely, young blond-haired girl and her concerned mother as the girl is preparing for the administration of her insulin with a hypodermic needle.

Letter to the editor: A Maine nurse says where there’s vaccine risk, there must be choice

As a registered nurse for nearly 17 years, I am appalled at the lack of empathy and knowledge that has resulted in the passage of a law that mandates vaccination for all Maine students and medical professionals.

Letter to the editor: Help addicts in recovery by supporting L.D. 1492

I am writing in support of drug sentencing reform because I want to help my brothers and sisters in recovery from chemical dependency. I am a Maine resident with 10 years of clean and sober time. As a member of 12-step recovery groups I have seen many addicts die from this disease. I have also […]
