It is with enthusiasm that I endorse Auburn mayoral candidate Jeff Harmon, who possesses experience-based understanding of how our city operates and what Auburn truly needs to thrive. His attentive listening and thoughtful reflection set him apart as a candidate who genuinely values the voices of our community. Moreover, his ability to communicate respectfully with […]

If there was ever one of my letters to the editor I could take back, it would be the one I wrote in support of Jason Levesque before he defeated Adam Lee in 2017 by a handful of votes. In retrospect I now think that Adam would have been a more effective and citizen-oriented mayor […]

Robert Reed’s rebuttal published Aug. 26 really drove home the issues of a runaway economy that we Americans face today with no relief in sight. I thought it was a well written piece; he used great examples of what so many Americans are facing today. However, he forgot to mention anything about the last four […]

Here we go again with Cal Thomas, aided inadvertently by the Sun Journal. In his column published Sept. 6 (“More climate fiction“), Cal promotes, as usual, the canard that there should be no concern about the “false narrative of ‘climate change.’” And as usual there is no mention of the background of the “Climate Intelligence […]

Under Pine Tree Power, not only would the state have to borrow more than $10 billion to buy out the two biggest utility companies in Maine, but we’d also be likely to see our electric rates go up for the first 10 years. That’s from a study by the Maine Public Utilities Commission. How in […]

Raising taxes on billionaires and hiking the tax rate on Americans making more than $400,000 a year may help, in my opinion, but it is surely not the solution. Inflation is at an all-time high, and President Biden is bragging on a better economy, which is what worries me. I wonder why America would give […]

After reading Cal Thomas’ piece in the Sept. 6 Sun Journal (“More climate fiction“) I am hoping that the paper’s management will create a proper cooking section going forward where his work could be found. His writing, after all, is not really opinion — it’s tripe. Scott Roberts, Livermore Falls

Contrary to Brad Kowalski’s dizzyingly cynical assertion, the hundreds of Protect Lake Auburn signs that went up around the Twin Cities mean precisely what they say (“Don’t be duped by Auburn political signs,” Aug. 31). Concerns about the water supply for about 40,000 people are well-founded, and not delusions of “old wealthy elites.” As far […]

Another election cycle is upon us; who am I going to vote for? Does it even really matter? Should I even bother at all? It’s not like they listen. Some tough things to ponder while we sit at the table, sipping our coffee and trying to figure out how we are going to make X […]

My mute button is getting a workout already. It’s 12 months too early to start with this noise. Can’t we have any peace from politics? It starts immediately after an election on and on and on. Campaigning could be limited to a few televised debates. I can judge the candidates by the way they conduct […]
