A Nov. 29 letter was very disparaging of Maine Health (“Stop and think before rejecting RFK Jr. nomination“). Perhaps the letter writer never: • Knew that patients without an appointment can be seen on Saturdays and Sundays, when they have been stricken with some new problem and their doctor’s office is closed. • Had a relative […]

Letter: Collins needs to keep up scrutiny of nominees
Donald Trump lost the state of Maine with 45.5% of the vote in 2024. Sen. Susan Collins was reelected to the Senate in 2020 with 51% of the vote. Collins must decide: does she work for Trump, or for the people of Maine? Collins is off to a good start. She is reportedly one of […]

Letters to the editor: A heart’s desire; L.L.Bean and Citibank
Did you get your heart’s desire? This holiday season, thousands of children and plain folks, like me, will make wishes for items to please their heart’s desire. While for children, such wishes may simply extend to toys, ponies, games and mobile phones. But for some plain folks, however, and not me, they will desire a […]

Letter: Kudos to the pioneers of sustainable living
I knew a man who used to take his saw into the Maine woods to cut down the dead and dying trees and haul them home to be his wood pile. His wood stove emitted greenhouse gases, but the live trees he left standing still benefit the forest, the air and us. He only chopped […]

Letter: Lack of pro-Trump letters understandable
Here are a few reasons I feel the Press Herald has published few letters celebrating Trump’s win. • A newspaper that’s considered to have a liberal bias as the reader suggested should be wary of being considered an enemy from within. Trump has suggested weaponizing the Justice Department and using it to go after his […]

Letter: The stench of misinformation lingers over America
The recent election cycle gave off the “odor of mendacity.” For more than four years, we have been bombarded with “the big lie.” And, as if this didn’t reek of deceit, the newly elected vice president invented and then justified a false narrative of pet-eating Haitians. Venezuelans in Colorado and Hispanics everywhere are now vulnerable. […]

Letter: Senate must do its duty on Trump nominees
What a surprise to agree wholeheartedly (well, almost) with Jim Fossel (“Senate must not shirk its duty on nominee confirmations,” Nov. 24). He is absolutely correct in calling for President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees and others to be confirmed (or not) after the U.S. Senate has the opportunity to exercise its constitutional duty to hold hearings […]
