I’m so angry at our government I just have to write this short but sweet letter. I keep watching the news and keep hearing that we will get another stimulus package and then hear that we’re not. The Republicans blame the Democrats, and the Democrats blame the Republicans. Well, let me educate you politicians, our […]

Most Mainers know how important our state’s natural resources are to our sense of self and to our economy. From our coastal fishing towns to our densely wooded state parks, the relationship Mainers have with the earth is part of what makes our state so special. After watching last week’s U.S. Senate debate, I know […]

My two children had the privilege of attending Oxford Hills Technical School as part of their high school education. My son came out with three years of experience in the field he went on to get a degree in, and my daughter came out with her CNA certification, a great start toward her dream of […]

“Let us Play” is the slogan of high school athletes, their parents and coaches and I empathize with them (Sun Journal, Sept. 13). I was never an athlete during my school years, but my daughters were, and I saw the importance it played in their lives. With that said, while I have empathy, I do […]

The team at the Sun Journal is doing such a great job of providing the news in a balanced and reasonable manner. The paper reflects our realities here and shows us that we are lucky to live in such a wonderful place. You help us remember that we have good neighbors. Thank you. Don Fogg, […]

This is in response to the Sun Journal article, “Housing advocates laud eviction ban, but say rental assistance is needed” (Sept. 4). I applaud the writer for highlighting the need for work beyond the federal eviction moratorium issued by the CDC, but I want to highlight something not addressed: Increased pressure on unaccompanied youth and […]

Jared Golden has the values, courage and ability to meet challenges that Mainers want. He’s demonstrated his ability by stepping up to the plate to address some very controversial issues. When past members of Congress had little success with election reform, he was not afraid to co-sponsor comprehensive election reform and anti-corruption legislation. He supported […]

I am endorsing my friend, Jan Collins, for the Maine Senate. One of the first times I met her was when she gave a wonderful pond wildlife class at our farm. She loves Maine’s natural heritage and will do everything she can to protect it. She is also a small business owner, farming blueberries, and […]

I support Ken Morse for Maine House District 71. I have known and collaborated with him for more than 15 years. He is a person of vision. As a founding board member of Norway Downtown and a business owner, he was able to realize the incredible potential Norway’s Main Street held. At the time, Main […]
