Democratic Senate primary polling favored Platner | Letter
This paper explains that a University of New Hampshire poll weighs heavily in favor of Graham Platner. But more space should have been devoted to the small sample size (462 voters), a fifth of whom identified as socialists. These results remind us of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City. He won with 51% […]

Universal child care is a smart investment for Maine | Letter
Quality affordable child care is on the minds of young parents, but it should be a concern for all of us. Child care is not just a family issue. It’s an economic issue that affects communities across Maine. That is why I was pleased to hear gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson outline his proposal for universal child […]

Maine’s municipal governments need to ask themselves some basic questions | Letter
Across Maine, I keep hearing the same line: “We just need to grow our way out of it.” More housing. More valuation. More development. More revenue. That thinking is exactly what got many towns into the position they’re in now. Lisbon is feeling it, but it won’t be the last community. Service costs are rising, […]

Letter writer owes Democrats an apology | Letter
I’m responding to letter writer Susan Lara, of Perry, whose recent letter (March 2) attempted to slam the Democrats for their “shameful” actions during the State of the Union address. I suggest that Lara watch the State of the Union address again and, once she has done so, perhaps she will submit a letter of […]

Trump tarnished US women’s hockey’s golden moment | Letter
Team USA won gold in women’s and men’s hockey for the first time ever. What a wonderful achievement to celebrate. What a golden opportunity for the sitting president to unite our country behind our athletes’ success on the ice. But what did the divider-in-chief do? He called the men’s team to invite them to the […]

Let’s show some support for Brunswick’s sister city in Cuba | Letter
In January 2026, with support from congressional Republicans, the Trump administration dramatically escalated political and economic pressure against Cuba. Trump claims, without evidence, that “the policies, practices and actions of the government of Cuba constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security and foreign policy. Tariffs have been increased on countries that directly […]

Political infighting must end so that work can begin | Letter
It’s crunch time for the 2026 political campaign season. Candidates for local, state and federal office together will spend millions inundating us with all methods of media exploitation. Many will pledge to go to Washington, Augusta or our local town halls to fight for us. Those who so pledge will lose my vote. I am sick of […]

Grateful for Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline’s support for immigrants | Letter
I thank Mayor Carl Sheline for providing calm, reassuring support to immigrant families in Lewiston during the harrowing past couple of months. While numbers of Lewistonians have been unjustly detained by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers, and thousands continue to live in fear, it is crucial that people threatened by […]

Support a moratorium on data centers in Maine | Letter
I support a moratorium on data centers. I am not opposed to new technology, but I am concerned about the amount of resources and energy that data centers require to operate, and the impact they have on the environment and people. A moratorium would allow us to get more of the information needed to make […]
