The changes up for consideration are not small — and we should reject them.

Canadian was right about the US | Letter
I commend Canadian Rhiannon Hamdi for the well-written Aug. 28, 2025 op-ed (“Our neighbors to the south need to look in the mirror”). We Americans need to look closely at what is happening in this country. Regardless of party affiliation, we should all be alarmed at the now-daily news of masked ICE agents roaming our streets; […]

Are we going in a direction we consider great? | Letter
President Trump claims that his falling out with Jeffery Epstein occurred because, as Trump said of Epstein, “He stole people that worked for me.” Trump considers people to be a commodity that can be stolen, he considers people to be a commodity owned.

Trump’s trying to build a private army with tax dollars | Letter
I have watched, with disgust and anger, as the current president works at normalizing the presence of armed, anonymous agents and military forces on the streets of peaceful American cities according to his dictates.

One letter writer (“Left-leaning reading results in left-leaning readership,” July 17) says the paper and other media outlets have spent a decade “spewing disinformation and outright lies” about the conservative side and ignoring President Biden’s aging. The […]

Low turnout for Freeport school budget spells voter apathy | Letter
There is much more to the Portland Press Herald’s story on the passing of school budgets. Freeport residents seem apathetic — given the misguided failures of the planning and development of this once peaceful, beautiful place that many of us call home. The Town Council is out of control with spending and not reflective of […]

Where are the conservative letters? | Letter
I’m appalled by the biased coverage of mass media. This opinion section plays an active part.

Letters to the editor: Stansky for school board; response requested; Declaration of Conscience
Former councilors endorse Katie Stansky for Brunswick school board As former chairs of the Brunswick Town Council, we’ve worked with many public servants who set aside grievance politics to focus on one thing: the good of Brunswick. In this school board election, the choice is clear: We’re supporting Katie Stansky. Brunswick values fairness, inclusion and […]
