When the Legislature first passed Maine’s current Net Energy Billing policies in 2019, the intent was to spur solar development. The actual subsidies were tied to natural gas rates and rose too high, too fast when the price of natural gas spiked. Adding to these costs is the fact that out-of-state investors noticed that the […]

Jan Bordeau: Rep. Libby should apologize to transgender athlete
I thank Gov. Janet Mills and Rep. Ryan Fecteau for standing up to the bully who is threatening to withhold funding to our schools and for abiding by our state and federal laws despite his threats. And I thank Cumberland-North Yarmouth schools Superintendent Jeffrey Porter for supporting all his students equally. And shame on Rep. […]

Vickie Rogers: Hope that the Sun Journal can keep it up
I’ve been very pleased with the Sun Journal’s political reporting on the election and the escapades going on since then. Some of us don’t get our news from social media. I was delighted about Matthew Peinado’s story. I was an art teacher myself, with totally individualized programs. Your Feb. 15 — Saturday-Sunday — paper was […]

Kevin Landry: Rep. Libby speaks truth, exposes hypocrisy
I applaud Rep. Laurel Libby’s posting of an image of a biological male athlete who won first place in the girls’ pole-vaulting competition. I have nothing against transgender people, but allowing biological males to compete in female sports is not only wrong but discriminatory against girl athletes. Rep. Jared Golden has chimed in, saying, “I […]

Frances Lockwood: ‘I am deeply saddened by what is happening to our nation’
As an elderly citizen of 85, I find myself heartbroken by the current state of our country. President Donald Trump is making America a laughingstock abroad, threatening force against allies, and capitulating to Russia’s Vladimir Putin. His actions undermine the very principles of democracy he claims to uphold, while his unelected advisors dismantle the mechanisms […]

Crystal Buchanan: Is Collins voting for constituents or with establishment?
Sen. Susan Collins is not a representative of her constituents but a member of the establishment. Many of Sen. Collins’ constituents voted for President Trump and his agenda. Yet, she has voted against multiple President Trump nominees. Her voting record leaves a lot to be desired. American needs the changes that President Trump is proposing. […]

Michael Hayashida: Libby used Facebook to target a child
I was astonished to see my state representative, Laurel Libby, using her official Facebook account to target a child, opening this child up to all kinds of bigoted abuse from across the country. I’m sure Rep. Libby knows that trans kids are already vulnerable in our society, and yet she decided to bully this child […]

Joe Voisine: Trump: ‘A dealmaker for the people’
President Donald Trump is wasting no time doing away with non-productive departments and public officials in Washington enriching their lives at taxpayer expense. Mexico and Canada want more time to negotiate a deal with President Trump. Open borders? Drugs were left unattended for too long. No one in their right mind would leave a fox […]

Marc Jalbert: Trump should be there for the people, not himself
The handwriting is on the wall; we’re in for a bumpy four years with President Trump at the helm. His cabinet choices are just shots in the dark, with little to no regard about getting a job done, given that qualifications are, for the most part, absent. When I hear him talk about Canada, Panama […]

Dave Griffiths: ‘Cruelty, thy name is Trump’
Cruelty, thy name is Trump. Barbara Res, an engineer who ran Donald Trump’s construction operations in the 1980s, told The Washington Post, “It was always, ‘We’re going to sue’ whoever he thought was against him. He enjoyed it. He liked to make people suffer.” After that collision over the Potomac River killed 67 people, our […]
