Food, potable water, shelter, a healthy family and gainful employment represent just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all of what I’m currently grateful for.

Letter to the editor: Story, cartoon display tunnel vision about addressing hunger in Maine
On Nov. 21, your paper published a news article about how food pantries need to adjust to the food choices of immigrants (Page A1), while in the same edition publishing an infantile editorial cartoon by Steve Meyers about the right to food amendment (Page D3).

Letter to the editor: NECEC foes stopping clean power when we need it most

This NECEC, New England Clean Energy Connect, should go on. Electricity made from clean sources, where there is great potential – namely. Hydro-Quebec – should be allowed. Vehement hate mongers, […]

Letter to the editor: Clinic TV footage nauseates even pro-vaccine reader
I’m fully vaccinated. I’ve had my booster. I still wear a mask in stores. I avoid crowds. I get food to go. But I get queasy when I see the vaccine jab-a-thons during TV news reports. To the networks, I say: “Please find other ways of making your point (so to speak).” Harley Marshall Portland

Letter to the editor: Collins’ work mandate would undercut child tax credit
I urge Sen. Susan Collins to support the fully refundable expanded child tax credit. Since March, nearly 250,000 Maine children have been receiving $250 to $300 every month. Sen. Collins has long supported the child tax credit, a proven poverty-reduction tool. Yet she wants to tie it to work requirements, thereby taking this assistance away […]
