I appeal to all Mainers who are voting in November. I believe that is it necessary to have home care that can provide help to those in need. I will be voting “yes” on Question 1, for universal home care. It would help those who have financial struggles. For those who have a family member […]

Rule of law won out over mob rule
Maine’s Sen. Susan Collins made a great, powerful, historic speech explaining the reason for her “yes” vote for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. She covered exactly every phase of the steps taken, including that a person is innocent until proven guilty. I believe that every Republican should be proud of […]

Mills has a plan that fits for Maine
I have known Janet Mills for a long time. As the attorney general, she runs one of the largest employers in the state — and oversees staff across Maine. She knows how to run a large entity. She knows how to budget on a state-wide scale and she knows how to work with folks from […]

Sen. Collins' decision was sensible

Christine Blasey Ford did not have any evidence to substantiate her claims; her four witnesses could not corroborate her story — one of whom was her best friend.

Jared Golden has received 26 percent of his funds from such contributions. That confirms what we already know. Golden risked his life for the […]

Mills will follow the will of the people
I am writing to express my support for Janet Mills. As a physician, I have seen the effects of limited access to health care, inadequate reimbursements to local hospitals and the devastating effects of opioid dependency.

Nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave.
Halloween is rapidly approaching. Ghosts, ghouls, goblins and witches have nothing on the Trump administration. People should read “Fire and Fury” by Michael Wolff, “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob Woodward and “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis. Then they can be afraid, very afraid.
