This is in response to the Kennebec Journal story, printed in the Sun Journal, Aug. 23, about how the Litchfield Fair organization lost money. Another sad story on theft that was totally preventable. If owners would only look at their bank statements before handing it over to the bookkeeper (bean counter). That alerts any potential […]

Power line should not be approved
The power line proposal reported in the Sun Journal (Aug. 23) certainly never should be approved by any of Maine’s regulatory agencies. Contrary to the Massachusetts regulators and their Washington backers, it is not a necessary step to a carbon-free future. Carl Sheline, chairman of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce champions the power […]

Politics, money go hand-in-hand
Politicians aren’t getting much respect these days. Trying to find a remedy in protecting the nation’s borders from the enemy is crucial, but how about dealing with the corruption in Washington, D.C., as a top priority? I would say that 90 percent of politicians give the other 10 percent a bad reputation. Lawmakers should not […]

Confuses journalism and opinion
In his letter to the editor (Aug. 19), Glenn Chateauvert confuses journalism and opinion. Of course, letters and columns are biased, because they are opinions. The Sun Journal publishes opinions on all sides in the appropriate section. Good journalists present as much of a story as they can find and it might take several days […]

Espling will make Maine better
I am writing in support of state Senate candidate Ellie Espling. She served my district in the House with genuine care for the people she represented. She read and researched every bill to see how it would affect my area and voted accordingly. With careful thought, she submitted common-sense legislation meant to improve the lives […]

Supporters wrong about Golden
Congressional candidate Jared Golden has supporters talking about two things — his military service and working across party lines to get things done. I investigated. Military service of all forms should be honored, but it does not automatically qualify someone as the best option. I have numerous military veterans as friends and every one of […]

Brakey will protect our liberty
The liberties people enjoy, as long as they do not harm others, need protection. Those include: Worshiping as we see fit without interference; freedom to responsibly possess a firearm; freedom to use property for any purpose; freedom to put into our bodies the foods and medicines we choose; and others. Those freedoms and other social […]

Support for Kristen Cloutier
While serving on the Lewiston City Council, Kristen Cloutier has demonstrated that she is an outstanding public servant. I have observed her dedication to both Ward 5 and to the city as a whole. Cloutier has tirelessly served her community as the City Council representative on the Lewiston School Committee, Lewiston 21st Century Advisory Board […]

CMP project to benefit Lewiston
The Sun Journal article on the forum held to discuss Central Maine Power’s New England Clean Energy Connect Project (Aug. 23) did a decent job of presenting information both favoring and opposing this project. Unfortunately, the headline presented a biased picture and may well mislead those who did not read the entire article. Other potential […]

Take advantage of NRA offer
There it is, in the August 2018 “American Rifleman Magazine.” National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne La Pierre offers to utilize the vast resources of the NRA to provide expert consultation to public and private schools across America to help every school district design its own safety strategy to prevent school violence — for […]
