I have known Cherri Crockett for many years, both as an acquaintance and professionally throughout our work careers. I was very excited when I learned she had decided to run for the Registrar of Deeds for Oxford County. I know she is the right person for this county position and will bring many excellent qualities […]

Truth in political advertising
The time has come for Maine to become the first in the nation to adopt a law addressing truth in political advertising. It should be illegal for big money interests or special interests to promote false advertising in order to get their candidate elected. The state can turn a negative into a positive. And if […]

Bah to ranked choice voting
When I first started to vote, it was one mark for governor, one for another candidate for another office and another mark for another candidate’s office. So on down the line. Now, people can put numbered choice marks for each candidate for governor (four this year), and numbered marks for each candidate for any office. […]

Questions about Bruce Poliquin
This is in response to the Sun Journal profile of Rep. Bruce Poliquin (Sept. 23). In the article, Poliquin is quoted as having “ignored the noise” in the controversy over last year’s Republican bill designed to eliminate the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Yet 60 percent of Mainers had voted to expand Medicaid under Obamacare in […]

Get off the dock, Feinstein

As may be remembered, Captain Reid is best […]

Democrats filled with hate
I can only imagine how great this country would be if the Democrats would work with the Republicans. Instead, Democrats have gone so far to the left they are no longer recognizable. They are acting like they hate America. They are maligning anyone who voted for Trump. Once known as deplorables, Trump supporters are now […]

He will be working for the good of all Maine people. Nutting is a strong advocate for bipartisan welfare reform, lowering taxes and promoting small business. He is eager to […]

Many reasons to vote for Jan Collins
There are so many reasons I support Jan Collins for state Senate. The one big issue I look for in any candidate is support for the environment, because without a healthy environment, nothing else matters. People’s physical and mental health depend on clean air, water and land. In addition, personal and state economies depend on […]

Self-serving behavior is abhorrent
What is happening to Brett Kavanaugh is a travesty. The opposition is sifting through whatever chaff they can find to discredit that man with things that may or may not have happened when he was an immature youth at a drunken party. If these accusers were so innocent, what were they doing at such parties? […]
