Here we go again with Cal Thomas, aided inadvertently by the Sun Journal. In his column published Sept. 6 (“More climate fiction“), Cal promotes, as usual, the canard that there should be no concern about the “false narrative of ‘climate change.’” And as usual there is no mention of the background of the “Climate Intelligence […]

Under Pine Tree Power, not only would the state have to borrow more than $10 billion to buy out the two biggest utility companies in Maine, but we’d also be likely to see our electric rates go up for the first 10 years. That’s from a study by the Maine Public Utilities Commission. How in […]

Raising taxes on billionaires and hiking the tax rate on Americans making more than $400,000 a year may help, in my opinion, but it is surely not the solution. Inflation is at an all-time high, and President Biden is bragging on a better economy, which is what worries me. I wonder why America would give […]

After reading Cal Thomas’ piece in the Sept. 6 Sun Journal (“More climate fiction“) I am hoping that the paper’s management will create a proper cooking section going forward where his work could be found. His writing, after all, is not really opinion — it’s tripe. Scott Roberts, Livermore Falls

Contrary to Brad Kowalski’s dizzyingly cynical assertion, the hundreds of Protect Lake Auburn signs that went up around the Twin Cities mean precisely what they say (“Don’t be duped by Auburn political signs,” Aug. 31). Concerns about the water supply for about 40,000 people are well-founded, and not delusions of “old wealthy elites.” As far […]

Another election cycle is upon us; who am I going to vote for? Does it even really matter? Should I even bother at all? It’s not like they listen. Some tough things to ponder while we sit at the table, sipping our coffee and trying to figure out how we are going to make X […]

My mute button is getting a workout already. It’s 12 months too early to start with this noise. Can’t we have any peace from politics? It starts immediately after an election on and on and on. Campaigning could be limited to a few televised debates. I can judge the candidates by the way they conduct […]

Over the past six years, I have sat on the Auburn School Committee. During that time I’ve never seen a mayor take his seat on the committee. When Mayor Jason Levesque took the seat two years ago, and was appointed chair of the finance committee, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. What I found […]

There is a false belief among some, including Congressman Jared Golden, that most who have attended college are members of the economic elite. Golden recently claimed many of those who took out student loans went on to “six-figure salaries.” While student loans were essential for thousands of low-income Mainers to escape poverty, about 40% of […]

I couldn’t disagree more with Ellen Field (“Tired of Trump, Trump, Trump,” Aug. 17). Donald Trump has done more in four years than Joe Biden has thought of doing. Trump lowered taxes and attempted to shut the border, we were paying $2.15 a gallon for gas, food was reasonable, and he got along with other […]
