Letter: All states will be affected if Social Security is cut
Whether it’s a red state, blue state or purple state, all states will be affected if the current administration eliminates Social Security, which we earned through hard work, paying into it all our working lives. What do people think will happen to American citizens whose only income depends on their monthly checks? We could lose […]
Letter: Cancelling net energy billing would be irresponsible
Attempts to cancel net energy billing are based on the false claim that the solar program is responsible for increased electricity costs for Mainers. Those cost increases are primarily the result of the rising price of natural gas and storm recovery costs from last year’s devastating storms in January. In fact, according to Maine’s Public […]
Letter: Dysfunctional Maine Democrats are missing in action
What is going on in the Maine Democratic Party? Try phoning. It is clear that all parties have been advised to not answer the phone or respond to voicemail. All extensions are on voicemail — even the director. I would like to be a contributor but frankly this inattention is disturbing. What is their plan? […]
Letter: Legislators should not be speech police

Letter: Mainers must have access to effective vaccines
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needs to be pressed on this issue.
Letter: Republicans need to rein in Trump
Dictator Vladimir Putin hates America, and he uses propaganda to destroy everything it stands for. Putin is a war criminal who will kill anyone who threatens his reign. He can never be trusted. President Donald Trump is no longer the leader of the free world. He is President Putin’s doormat. MAGA and Trump get their […]
Letter: Canceling of Maine food program is shameful
The March 16 Maine Sunday Telegram reported that the USDA canceled contracts to continue providing food and funding to Maine schools and nonprofits for three more years. Really? They’re attempting to save money by taking food from hungry kids? More shame on this new administration. If these fat cats ever felt pangs of hunger, they’d […]
Letter: Dealing with Trump’s many proven lies
I can understand why so many people were blindsided and voted for Donald Trump for a second term. He uttered 30,573 proven lies during his first term, so no one believed him when he revealed his plans to destroy our democracy. Now the bobblehead has surrounded himself with unqualified puppeteers who are telling him how […]
