Sen. Susan Collins came to the only logical and sensible decision as it pertained to Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Christine Blasey Ford did not have any evidence to substantiate her claims; her four witnesses could not corroborate her story — one of whom was her best friend. None of them had any memory or recollection of […]

Super-rich play the wrong music
“He who pays the piper, calls the tune.” According to opensecrets.org, Bruce Poliquin’s campaign has received a mere 1 percent of his campaign funds from individual contributions of less than $200. Jared Golden has received 26 percent of his funds from such contributions. That confirms what we already know. Golden risked his life for the […]

Wrecking the state of Maine
Shawn Moody should keep doing what he does best — fixing wrecked cars. He would wreck the state of Maine, just like the governor now in office. Jim Roderick, Madrid Township

Mills will follow the will of the people
I am writing to express my support for Janet Mills. As a physician, I have seen the effects of limited access to health care, inadequate reimbursements to local hospitals and the devastating effects of opioid dependency. Mills is the only candidate who has a viable plan to deal with those problems. Mills will follow the […]

Nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave.
Halloween is rapidly approaching. Ghosts, ghouls, goblins and witches have nothing on the Trump administration. People should read “Fire and Fury” by Michael Wolff, “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob Woodward and “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis. Then they can be afraid, very afraid.

Find alternative to Question 1
Home health care is very important as Maine’s population ages and health care costs remain unstable. However, I cannot support Question 1. Tax policy and the tax rates should be set by the Legislature, not by a ballot question. Some may find it satisfying to increase taxes on “the wealthy” at the ballot box, but, […]

Applause for Sen. Collins' stand
America’s system of government has been under attack from multiples sides, with groups trying to erode the fundamental principles of this republic. One such attack came during the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. When there should have been simply an examination of his interpretation of the Constitution, there was nothing more than […]

Supporting people in need
As a home care worker, I believe that Maine is capable of allowing people with disabilities, seniors and veterans to get the care they need in their homes, regardless of their income. Home care for all referendum (Question 1) will be on the ballot in the upcoming election and a “yes” vote would give the […]

Bringing a mature manner to Augusta
Ned Claxton was always seen as a calm, mature, steadying hand when I had to call him. I work in an emergency department and they can be busy, hectic places. Whether in dealing with our staff or at the patient bedside, Dr. Claxton could always be seen as an advocate for the patient. No hidden […]
