I am disappointed with Rep. Jared Golden’s opposition to impeachment hearings for President Trump. Golden writes about the need for healing and national unity. While I support these things, I think they are not concepts that the Trump administration or the majority of Republicans in Congress hold in high esteem. Trump and the Republican Senate […]

In a letter to the editor in the July 28 Maine Sunday Telegram, Patrick Dancoes praises former Gov. Paul LePage for opposing new regulations for the lobster industry. He fails to mention that our current governor, Janet Mills, also opposes these regulations and is in a position to do something about them. Mills’ position was […]

The president’s Twitter assault on members of Congress who he doesn’t like says more about the president than it does about his targets. It verges on hatred, diminishing him as a human being and violating basic moral principles. Hatred is abhorrent, so abhorrent that the writer of the Bible’s 1st Letter of John calls it […]

Re: “Collins co-sponsors foreign influence reporting bill” (July 31, Page B1): I would like to acknowledge Sen. Susan Collins for doing the very least she could do to express her constituents’ frustration and anger with the criminal actions blatantly displayed by our president and his Cabinet. She knows that her seat is under serious threat, […]
