I thank your editorial board for fulfilling the major role a newspaper should fill for us, that of reporting the facts.
In your statement demonstrating the harm created for real people on every level of our society by the current national government’s unpredictable behavior (“‘Whiplash and worry’ continues to plague Maine,” March 16), you have only described reality, not twisted it to serve partisan ends.
Your other statement last Sunday outlined what harm on an already fragile health care “system” the recent Republican vote in Augusta will have. Again, this is not opinion, this is a factual report. Stating the truth in an atmosphere such as our current one is an act of courage and I commend you.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
