One of the recent refrains of congressional Republicans is “with the election a year away, let the voters decide” in lieu of proceeding with the House’s impeachment process. Why not!

Letter to the editor: Impeach Trump, or prepare for more election interference

Vladimir Putin has absolute power and unlimited resources. He hates democracy and its allies, because they stand in his way. He will do anything to restore Russia to the Berlin Wall era.

Letter to the editor: Returned service members deserve more than platitudes

Another Veterans Day passes, reminding us of the dedication our young men and women serving in the military. They serve with honor and pride and fight with dedication.

Letter to the editor: Maine DHHS reforms address potential for public guardian conflicts

As Gerald Petruccelli and Bruce McGlauflin, authors of the Nov. 10 commentary “State of Maine is an unfit guardian for intellectually disabled adults,” rightly note, the Maine Department of Health and Human Services is the last, not the first, option for adults determined to require a guardian.
