Valentine Sheldon is Falmouth’s best option for Town Council. Last Wednesday evening, the Falmouth Town Council voted to roll back the 2016 zoning changes, which have had such a negative impact on the RA district of the town of Falmouth. Valentine is to be congratulated for working tirelessly to inform and to energize residents to […]

I found City Councilor Brian Batson’s June 4 letter (“Grateful for the experience, Portland Councilor Batson won’t seek second term”) to be very thoughtful and reflective. It seems that he found his three years on the City Council to be a most rewarding experience. The only thing he forgot to mention was the dedicated staff […]

I just finished reading a letter to the editor in today’s paper (“Maine Voices author exaggerates threat posed by guns,” May 26). The author’s argument seems to be […]

My name is Alex Petrovich, and I support L.D. 1693, which would allow employees to move outside of a company’s internal arbitration process – which many employees agree to without even realizing it.
