How would spending over twice our annual state budget on an experiment make any sense?

Letter to the editor: Hydropower is not actually the enemy
Isabelle Rogers, clearly trained by others in her movement, resorts to an effusive amount of hyperbole in touting the perils of climate change (“Maine Voices: Youth need adults to stop CMP corridor once and for all,” March 30). So much so that she mistakenly lumps in hydropower with other demons. There’s nothing cleaner and more […]

Letter to the editor: People like me have funded NECEC opposition
Reporter Tux Turkel’s recent article (“The CMP corridor battle: Where does the money come from?” March 26) is full of speculation and innuendo. In this piece, Turkel refers to Jim LaBrecque, a supporter of the corridor, as suspecting that “Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources, which has opposed the project since it first came before state utility […]

Letter to the editor: Plot thickens in CMP corridor lawsuit puzzle
I found a March 26 article (“In CMP corridor battle, where does the money come from?”) quite illuminating. It is obvious that the plaintiffs’ interests are well represented by Maine legal giants Preti Flaherty, Pierce Atwood and Eaton Peabody. Less clear is who is compensating Drummond Woodsum to represent the defendants and their intervenors. Clearly, […]

Letter to the editor: We are witnessing social, cultural and moral decay
The number of school shootings in our country is horrific. No other country in the world has the number of shootings as the U.S. There are so many that many people have become numbed – unless the shooting is in their city. There are more guns than people in this country, a staggering statistic. If […]

Letter to the editor: Require higher voter percentages to pass referendums
As Portland discusses changes to the referendum process, I suggest increasing the percentage of votes required to pass them. Necessitating 55% or 60% of the vote would prevent the whipsaw back-and-forth proposals that we have seen recently at both the city and state levels. Higher vote thresholds would ensure that only the solidly popular initiatives […]

Letter to the editor: Trump breaks character in the courtroom
As part of the opening procedures of Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan, each member of the defense team was offered a copy of the indictment. Mr. Trump was the only member to decline a copy. Obviously, he was not thinking clearly. He should have accepted it and immediately autographed it. The actual first indictment handed […]
