I am writing in response to a letter in the April 30 Sunday Telegram headlined “Wishing I could undo my decision to have abortion.” While I appreciate the openness and honesty of the writer’s comments about regretting her decision to have an abortion at age 17, I feel I must remind the writer that it […]

Letter to the editor: Pension income deduction not all it’s cracked up to be

I encourage Mainers to base their decision on the facts.
