U.S. should be climate change leader To the editor, In response to the Guest Column by retired pastor Tom White (Kennebunk Post July 29, 2022), all I can say is we need expert advice on climate change, not the musings of someone who has a 48-year-old degree in environmental science.

No document written by a bunch of white […]

Don’t mess with Maine To the editor, The news that Kennebunk’s special select board meeting – with only four of the seven select board members present – voted on June 7 to engage a Texas executive search firm, Strategic Government Resources, to hire a new town manager causes bells to ring in the ears of […]
