Wind power project is anti-Dixfield

Its tax value would result in only one-half of one mill in tax reduction after state school subsidy and county taxes are adjusted. Anti-business? High rates for electricity may […]

Governor’s usual tactics
In opposing the creation of a national park on donated, private land in northern Maine, Gov. Paul LePage trots out his usual tactics: cast the issue as one of out-of-state interests versus the proud people of the region; northern Maine versus southern Maine (particularly that bastion of rich, liberals — Portland); loss of jobs by […]

Deactivate lost EBT cards
I write in response to the Sun Journal story about the Department of Health and Human Services “cracking down” on EBT cheaters (May 19). When EBT cards are automatically reissued because the original card was “lost or stolen,” why aren’t the original cards deactivated or voided, just like any other credit/debit card is when they […]
