Letter to the editor: Police failed to respond to neo-Nazi rally
The failure to arrest or even identify those who attacked our citizens sends the message that you can commit a violent hate crime in Portland, Maine, and suffer no consequences.

Letter to the editor: The U.S. does not want negotiated peace
Kudos to Jerry Provencher for the courage to speak out against the prevailing mindset that the war in Ukraine was unprovoked, and by extension, the U.S. is somehow the hero in this proxy war to “defend democracy”(“Letter to the editor: Russian invasion was hardly ‘unprovoked,’” April 11). His review of the history behind this war […]

Letter to the editor: No to Nordic Aquafarms’ plan
Just a few weeks ago, a seventh lawsuit was filed against Nordic Aquafarms, the Norwegian company that aims to build a $500 million industrial salmon farm in Belfast. As concerned Mainers, we must support our local communities and stand strong in the face of moneyed interests. Industrial-scale projects like the one proposed by Nordic Aquafarms […]

Letter to the editor: State cannot fund institutions that discriminate
Courtney Jones falsely claims that by refusing to grant Bangor Christian Schools state tax dollars to pay tuition for its students Maine is “rejecting religious schools for beliefs that the state doesn’t like” (“Commentary: Maine must stop trying to bypass Supreme Court decision on schools,” April 4). The state’s position isn’t about belief; rather, it’s […]

Letter to the editor: Attack ads can be a business expense
I’m writing in response to Kathy D’Agostino’s letter about the ads CMP is running to persuade a “no” vote on the Pine Tree Power referendum (“Letter to the editor: Ads attacking Pine Tree Power sit poorly,” March 24). D’Agostino misses one very important thing we all should consider when we vote this fall: the cost […]

Letter to the editor: Public utility debate comes down to ad spend
I hope the proponents of Pine Tree Power understand that they are not winning any upcoming referendum absent their expenditure of a significant advertising budget. The foreign corporate “anti” side of the Pine Tree Power issue is certainly in receipt of that memo. Acknowledging the significant disparity in depth of pockets, I believe pro-Pine Tree […]

Letter to the editor: Hicks Street intersection needs urgent attention
I echo the concerns voiced by Monique Lachance (“Letter to the editor: Something must be done about risky Riverton intersection,” March 30) regarding the abusive indifference to the Hicks/Dorothy street intersection stop signs. As a homeowner near this site, I witness the near collisions and total disregard to traffic and pedestrian safety on a daily […]

Letter to the editor: Grateful to Senator Collins and staff
I’ve never voted for Sen. Susan Collins. In fact, I’ve publicly criticized her in these pages for stands she’s taken and votes she’s cast. But when my wife and I ran into some red tape while attempting to renew our passports, I contacted the senator’s Biddeford office and asked for their help in solving our […]
