Why are the liberals and the establishment Republicans so very scared of Donald Trump? They are demonizing him in the press, trying to railroad his campaign and accusing him of inciting riots. They are scared because Trump will not bow down to their demands. He will not follow their stupid, politically-correct agenda — an agenda […]

Hardworking Mainers losing out
Mainers have wanted welfare reform for a long time. They know that the current system isn’t working for taxpayers, low-income families and, most importantly, for children at risk of hunger, homelessness and perpetual poverty. There is no denying that Democrats and Republicans have different views about welfare and the reform of a broken system. But […]

Do a trade for the governor
I have never had a lot good to say about Gov. Paul LePage, but I admit that I was intrigued when he named himself Commissioner of Education — although it seemed a dictatorial move — because of his seemingly high personal interest in the subject. Now I read two things (Sun Journal, April 27.) He […]

Maine deserves better
What is up with the governor? He walked out during a speech in Farmington just because he felt insulted? He needs to toughen up. He has a job to do. And secret meetings? Maine deserves better. How about it? Thomas Carey, Rumford

Solar power not the answer
I support Gov. Paul LePage’s veto of the poor solar power legislation. Maine recently announced it has risen to 21st among states when it comes to solar capacity per capita (watts/person). Nevada is No. 1 at 429 watts/person; Hawaii is No.2 at 394; and California is No. 3 at 338. What happens in Las Vegas […]

Ill-considered public remarks
Gov. Paul LePage’s recent racist comments are a shameful new low in a shockingly offensive and racist administration, which began with his telling the NAACP of Maine to “kiss my butt” in response to a gracious invitation to a Martin Luther King Day breakfast. A simple “No, thank you” would have sufficed. The latest shockingly […]

Convention a disappointment
My wife and I have become very disgusted and disappointed with the political party convention process in Maine. Now in our older years, we find it easier to get involved and join the convention process since we no longer work or have to raise children. We have gone several times during the past 11 years. […]

Lack of support shocking
On April 16, we went to a benefit for the commander of the American Legion in Dixfield. His name is Charlie Green. He served three tours in Vietnam. Only one person from the Legion in Rumford was there. What kind of support is that for a fellow Legionnaire? The community of Dixfield did no better. […]

Maine missing out on solar jobs
We applaud state Rep. Lloyd Herrick for voting April 14 in support of solar energy bill, LD 1649. The bill passed the Maine House by a vote of 91-56. Rep. Herrick was one of only 12 Republicans to support the bill. We have spoken with Rep. Herrick about the bill and about how important it […]

School Committee missed the point
In their guest column (April 24), Tom Kendall and the Auburn School Committee are again missing the point, or perhaps wishing to portray teachers in a less than favorable light. According to the article, “the Auburn School Committee feels compelled to fully inform the community regarding the ongoing teacher contract issues.” The Auburn Education Association […]
