Reality check for Cal Thomas
In a recent column (April 22) lamenting the damages of the sexual revolution, including the consequences of easy divorce, Cal Thomas quoted a song by the Everly Brothers, a rock ‘n’ roll duo of yesteryear. Extolling the kind of love Thomas extols, the lyrics say that exclusive devotion between two people leading to marriage is […]

Vote in all elections
The U.S. Constitution begins with the words “We the people …” and basically says that all citizens have the right to vote. I encourage all citizens to register to vote and then vote in all elections. Voters need to elect individuals who will always act and vote in the best interests of all the people […]

Join me in voting for Mark Eves
During the Democratic governor’s debate recently, I was glad to hear the candidates discuss the need for a governor who will stand up for working families. For me, it is a no-brainer — Mark Eves is the best. I served in the Legislature with both him and Janet Mills and only Eves was a consistent […]

Emera Maine rates going up?
I am shocked to hear that Emera Maine rates may be going up … again. That is an outrageous request from Maine’s second-largest electric utility company. It already received a tax cut from taxpayers just this year and now it wants more from its customers. Many older Mainers are barely getting by, and a rate […]

In support of Adam Cote
Democrats, Republicans and the unenrolled are all likely to be fed up with the chaotic and sclerotic pace of Maine’s government. No matter their political party, people are tired of lawmakers in Augusta not working with each other because of their political party. I support Adam Cote for governor, because he will put the partisan […]

A setback for Maine families
Does anyone really think Maine’s food pantries can do it all? Between 2011 and 2015, the number of Maine children living in extreme poverty rose eight times faster than the national average (source: Maine Center for Economic Policy). Now a new farm bill proposal wants to cut more Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, claiming it […]

Columnist poisons public debate
I read Rich Lowry’s column (March 31) attacking student activists with a mixture of disgust and frustration — not just because of his calculated, cynical criticism of young people who have proven brave, articulate and motivated enough to actually prompt a national debate that is decades overdue — but because of his own place in […]

Eves' integrity will serve well
I am supporting Mark Eves for governor. The recent debate among the seven Democratic candidates for governor was very impressive in that every single woman and man running seems capable and passionately committed to the people of Maine. But when it comes to getting the Legislature to actually listen to Maine’s citizens and follow through […]

It's a hate-Trump era
I don’t know why the media are not questioning Robert Mueller’s sanity. They love to question President Trump’s sanity. Mueller was hired to investigate if Trump might be involved with Russian collusion. It appears he hasn’t found much of anything yet. The media didn’t do much when it came out that Hillary Clinton approved the […]
