To the Editor: Democratic leaders’ over-the-top rhetoric surrounding voting access should be Mainers’ first clue that the so-called “For the People Act” is not what they claim.

To the Editor: The Bethel Rotary Club has thrived as an organization this past year, even amidst the pandemic, under the leadership of our 2020-21 President Lucy Abbott, who received the Rotarian of the year recognition at a recent social event.
