As I write this last message and transition from the role as the Executive Director of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority (MRRA), I certainly have some mixed emotions. As some may know, I have been with the organization since soon after the decision was made to close NAS Brunswick. I was the first person hired […]

Letters: Gun owners are responsible for their weapons; Free speech pushes US into divisiveness
Gun owners are responsible for their weapons About school shootings — where do the guns come from? I suspect from the parents or a friend or relative, or stolen, or bought on the street. So, in part, I blame the gun owners. If you own a gun that is used, you are part of the […]

Giving Voice: One patient, one person at Brunswick clinic
The Oasis Free Clinics Board of Directors enacted six-year term limits for board members in 2015. At the time, six years seemed so far away to me. Yet here I am, the time has flown and only weeks remain. As I term off the Oasis Board and look back, I feel an overwhelming sense of […]

Letter: GOP senators put point-scoring ahead of national defense, democracy
It simply isn’t accurate to say “Senate hampers passage of annual defense bill that funds BIW ships.” That was the headline in Wednesday’s Brunswick Times Record. Most members of the Senate wanted to consider and pass the bill, including both our own senators, Susan Collins and Angus King. So why didn’t it pass? Because all […]

Tom Purcell: Just say no to unaffordable spending
I wish I had a change of heart, but I still can’t support it. Back in 2009, long before I got my beloved 11-month-old puppy, Thurber, I was critical of a proposed federal bill that sought tax deductions for pet owners.

The Maine Idea: A fundamental right now hangs by a thread in Roe challenge
As the U.S. Supreme Court considers a Mississippi case directly challenging Roe v. Wade – the 1973 landmark for women’s rights that’s been under fire almost ever since – it’s worth recalling Roe’s troubled, even tormented history that’s brought us to this unfortunate place. If there’s a consensus prediction on the eventual ruling, it’s that at least five judges will uphold the “moderate” Mississippi law barring abortion after 15 weeks […]
