I hope others join me in trying to convince Sen. Susan Collins that she must defend the health care protections millions of Americans rely upon by stopping Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I worked for more than a decade in health care administration and know firsthand that millions of people will suffer due […]

Question 1 is not the answer
Question 1 on the November ballot proposes a 3.8 percent tax on certain employers, individuals and households in Maine. The money from this new tax is for home care for seniors and disabled adults. But as much as $6.5 million could be used for a separate, new bureaucracy to run the program. The new program […]

Support for Question 1
People have an incredible opportunity before them in November. Voters will decide if Maine will be the first in the nation to establish a universal home care system for all Maine seniors, including the elder and disabled veterans. As an 81-year-old veteran and a retired auditor and fraud analyst, I can see the common sense […]

Janet Mills for governor
Attorney General Janet Mills worked hard to protect the rights and wishes of Maine voters for the past eight years. She has fought valiantly and successfully against the governor, who wreacked havoc in his reign. He continues to deny the will of the people. If elected, Mills would see that the people’s wishes (passed by […]

Power line should not be approved
The power line proposal reported in the Sun Journal (Aug. 23) certainly never should be approved by any of Maine’s regulatory agencies. Contrary to the Massachusetts regulators and their Washington backers, it is not a necessary step to a carbon-free future. Carl Sheline, chairman of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce champions the power […]

Politics, money go hand-in-hand
Politicians aren’t getting much respect these days. Trying to find a remedy in protecting the nation’s borders from the enemy is crucial, but how about dealing with the corruption in Washington, D.C., as a top priority? I would say that 90 percent of politicians give the other 10 percent a bad reputation. Lawmakers should not […]

Look at your bank statements
This is in response to the Kennebec Journal story, printed in the Sun Journal, Aug. 23, about how the Litchfield Fair organization lost money. Another sad story on theft that was totally preventable. If owners would only look at their bank statements before handing it over to the bookkeeper (bean counter). That alerts any potential […]

Confuses journalism and opinion
In his letter to the editor (Aug. 19), Glenn Chateauvert confuses journalism and opinion. Of course, letters and columns are biased, because they are opinions. The Sun Journal publishes opinions on all sides in the appropriate section. Good journalists present as much of a story as they can find and it might take several days […]

Brakey will protect our liberty
The liberties people enjoy, as long as they do not harm others, need protection. Those include: Worshiping as we see fit without interference; freedom to responsibly possess a firearm; freedom to use property for any purpose; freedom to put into our bodies the foods and medicines we choose; and others. Those freedoms and other social […]

Support for Kristen Cloutier
While serving on the Lewiston City Council, Kristen Cloutier has demonstrated that she is an outstanding public servant. I have observed her dedication to both Ward 5 and to the city as a whole. Cloutier has tirelessly served her community as the City Council representative on the Lewiston School Committee, Lewiston 21st Century Advisory Board […]
