Mainers who go the speed limit and follow other rules of the road shouldn’t be singled out for rude behavior.

Letter to the editor: Reelect Mills to keep Maine on a productive, bipartisan path
We will be voting for Gov. Mills and not only because she has accomplished so much for Mainers, but also for her willingness to work in a bipartisan way. She can disagree without being disagreeable. And for the first time in Maine history, thanks to her, the state is fully funding its share of public […]

Letter to the editor: Initials on British post boxes predate Elizabeth II
Re: “U.K.’s money, stamps and more will now feature King Charles III” (Sept. 13, Page C1): I fear that this Washington Post article and accompanying Associated Press photographs show Americans’ naïveté, if not ignorance, in expressing surprise that some post boxes in the land bear the emblem of the late queen’s father and in stating […]

Letter to the editor: Executive mayor proposal not in Portland’s best interest
In light of Portland Mayor Kate Snyder’s announcement that she does not plan to run for reelection in 2023 (Sept. 13, Page A1), there was speculation as to who might run. In a follow-up story (Sept. 14, Page B1), former Charter Commissioner Pat Washburn stated that the recommended proposal for an executive mayor would make […]

Letter to the editor: Republicans have no reason to call Biden divisive
I’ve seen many Republicans criticize President Biden’s recent speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia as the most divisive they’ve seen. This is rich in irony, coming from members of a party that elected a president who led the birther movement that declared President Barack Obama an illegitimate president, a party the majority of whose members […]

Letter to the editor: Gov. Mills invests in Mainers’ education
Please join me in voting to reelect Gov. Mills. Maine’s education and workforce development initiatives are much stronger now than in the previous administration. Under Gov. Mills’ leadership, for the first time ever, the state fully funds its share of public education; the minimum teacher salary was raised to $40,000; the Career and Technical Education […]

Letter to the editor: James Webb Space Telescope not a ‘boondoggle’
Although I agree with the editorial praising the new James Webb Space Telescope (Our View, Sept. 13), I would like to quibble with one of the points the editorial board makes. (Call me a nit-picker.) The board writes that if the telescope had not worked as planned, it would have been “a historic boondoggle.” The Oxford […]

Letter to the editor: LePage’s lack of vision cost Maine clean-energy opportunity
It’s difficult to try to name the most inept, anti-business move Paul LePage made while governor, but forcing energy giant Statoil (now called Equinor) to take its investment in offshore wind energy to Scotland, instead of investing in Maine’s waters, must be a contender. Maine lost jobs and private investments and the potential to be […]
