The more the Democrats attempt to incriminate the Trump presidency, the more the Russians revel in their interference. Chaos in a democracy – the Russians are loving it! Think about it, everyone! It’s time to move on and stop playing into the Russians’ hands. Pamela Brant Westbrook

Letter to the editor: City should stop stalling, start working on shelter in Riverton
As a 20-year resident of Bayside, I have observed firsthand the impact of having a concentration of services located in this small area of Portland.

Letter to the editor: Breweries show integrity by pulling out of Brunswick festival
Re: “Three breweries pull out of Brunswick festival, citing sponsor’s domestic violence charge” (June 6): I want to recognize the Black Pug, Flight Deck and Moderation breweries for being great stewards of our Brunswick-area community.

They have passed a bill to make getting abortions easier. We taxpayers are going to have to fund abortions for those on MaineCare. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Also passed was […]
Letter to the editor: Officer accountability important in police-involved shootings
I was troubled by the June 8 letter by Gary Phillips (“To stop police shootings, obey law or follow orders,” Page A6). I agree with Mr. Phillips that the shooting he discusses indeed appears to have been the fault of the man shot. However, the idea that all police shootings are completely justified is both […]
Letter to the editor: Cumberland County should help cover cost of serving Portland’s homeless
Most homeless people in the Portland homeless shelter are not from Portland but come to Portland for services. How about we consider this to be a county problem? The city could use existing property in town to house and care for these unfortunate people. How about the Civic Center on Free Street, which has become […]
Letter to the editor: Editorial linking D-Day, climate change dishonored fallen servicemen
