CMP needs to get back into the service industry before we are all literally left in the dark! Central Maine Power’s service and line departments have been so minimized that trying to get appointments are months in the future versus days or a week. Being a self-employed electrician for more than 40years, I have never […]

Put Maine seniors, veterans first
I am supporting the citizens’ initiative on universal home care in November, and I hope the voters of Maine will join me in voting Yes on Question 1. I think it makes common sense to make sure that elders, veterans and disabled folks can stay in their homes. No one wants to live in a […]

Stay at home as long as possible
I believe that Question 1, the home care initiative, would be great for elderly people like myself. There are things I could certainly use help with — groceries, cooking, cleaning — everything is getting harder. When I had a surgery and was recovering, some people tried to get me to go to a nursing home […]

Support for John Andrews
I am writing to express my strong support for John Andrews in his candidacy to represent the citizens of Paris, Buckfield and Hebron in the Maine House of Representatives. I had the privilege of serving with Andrews on the Paris Revitalization Committee during my time as interim town manager for Paris in 2016. He was […]

Give Mainers a better choice
American health care requires significant improvement. Countless individuals and families in need either do not have the money or the access to resources to meet their medical needs. Question 1 in November, a universal home care-for-all initiative, would be a logical step in the right direction for the elderly, folks with disabilities and for many […]

I have Marfan Syndrome — a connective tissue disorder. It has caused me to suffer multiple joint dislocations; it affects all the organs in the body but mostly […]

In my 79 years, I have written one “Letter To The Editor.” My second is to impart my support for Russell Black of Wilton for the Senate District 17 seat in the Maine Legislature in the upcoming election. I have known Black for quite some time and have had complete faith in his role as […]

Reduce size of government
The Republicans make the claim that more taxes are a bad idea. My question is, how are all the bills going to get paid with fewer taxes? If taxes are cut with no plan as to how to fund all of the government’s commitments — such as highways, law enforcement, DHHS, employees who work for […]

Scammers using local numbers
I would like to add some information to the letter written by Pete Bosse regarding telemarketers (Sun Journal, Oct. 10). Bosse wrote that some robocalls are local. That appears to be true, according to one’s caller ID. A few weeks ago I received such a call and decided to dial back that number, which usually […]
