Recently, I was watching television and heard that Congressman Adam Schiff will not allow any of the Republican choices to testify. Last I heard, if impeachment is legitimate, both sides have to be heard. I am wondering, at this point, if anyone else is noticing that? If Schiff thinks it’s a sham or not, they […]

It is good to see our tax dollars for bond issues work. What a beautiful job workers are doing on the Bernard Lown Peace Bridge in New Auburn. It is absolutely beautiful and clean. Good job. Keep it up. Connie Lessard, Auburn

What is President Trump hiding? It began before the 2016 election. Candidate Trump said he was willing to release his tax returns, as predecessors had done since the 1960s. Then he claimed IRS audits mandated secrecy.  The IRS said taxpayers under audit may release their own returns. Now Trump is fighting tooth and nail in […]

During the recent legislative session, Maine lawmakers passed a bill (LD 1104), with bipartisan support, that will guarantee that retired public school teachers and state employees receive their full benefits. Gov. Janet Mills has not yet signed the bill into law. Unlike those working in the private sector, public school teachers and state employees contribute […]

Possessed, he claims, of “a very, very large brain,” President Trump is “like, really smart” — a genius, in fact, gifted with “great and unmatched wisdom.” He is “the greatest president God ever created,” he once announced. People came out and voted for him “like they’ve never seen before,” and his inauguration was “the biggest […]

In response to Thomas Shields’ letter (Nov. 6) praising Donald Trump’s abilities as a wonderful businessman, I would like to mention that Trump Airlines failed, as did Trump Beverages, Trump Mortgage Company, Trump Steaks and Trump’s travel site “Go Trump.com.” Trump Tower Tampa went to bankruptcy court, Trump Vodka went out of business by 2011, […]

With the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives seemingly committed to bring impeachment proceedings against President Trump, it seems as though the rest of the country hasn’t even noticed. Profits and middle-class wages are still rising; and unemployment rates are near historic lows — there are more jobs out there than there are qualified […]

President Donald Trump and his White House cronies reached a new low recently with their absolutely discouraging comments about Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. Col. Vindman is a decorated war hero, awarded the Purple Heart. He is still carrying shrapnel in his body that he received protecting our democracy in Iraq. As usual, Trump has called […]

Beginning at age 18, I have struggled with addiction to alcohol and drugs for years. Things got worse when I was prescribed opioid pain medications after back surgery. As for so many people I know they were the most comforting drugs, and the most dangerous. Now I am three years in recovery. And I know […]

I was totally appalled at the article in the paper (Nov. 1) concerning school bias at Edward Little High School. Did the educators leave their brains at the door? To announce over the intercom the students’ names was totally inappropriate. I don’t have children in the high school, but my heart goes out to those […]
