I hope I was not the only one to shake my head in disbelief at the inanity and irresponsibility of Steven Price’s recent Maine Voices piece (“How the long-dodged coronavirus wound up making me batty,” Aug. 14). While it is conceivable that a viral infection could lead to hallucinations, I think it is more likely that […]

In response to the most recent hate group activity in Augusta and any other groups with similar intentions: If they feel so strong in their beliefs and what they represent, why is every member’s face hidden by a face covering? My recommendation would be to pull back the masks and watch the cowards scatter like […]

In defense of President Biden, in response to a recent critical letter to the editor (“Democrats need a different nominee,” July 29), I say let’s not toss out our senior citizens.

I thank Scarborough’s councilors and manager for holding the line and saying enough […]

Although I am no fan of Central Maine Power, I have strong reservations about a state-owned and -run electric power system and using small local power sources for electric supply in our state. I can’t help but think of what happened in Texas, when an area powered by smaller local power sources and companies had […]

In response to the gentleman from South Portland’s Aug. 10 letter to the editor, alleging the indictments of former President Donald Trump are politically motivated: I agree! Donald Trump is accused of very serious crimes against our country. He was twice impeached for some of these very same crimes, and it was politics and Republican […]
