Brakey fights to save Mainers' money
Eric Brakey has the experience to solve Maine’s energy problems. As energy costs continue to drive opportunity out of Maine, residents need someone in Washington who will find ways to lower energy costs. Maine has some of the highest energy costs in the country. Those high energy cost have driven businesses out of Maine, causing […]

Yes, there is media bias
This is in response to Ellen Field’s letter (Aug. 8). In her letter, she would have people believe that the media is truthful and unbiased with regard to President Donald Trump. To clearly see the bias she need only open the same paper to see the hatred aimed at Trump and conservatives. For example, pages […]

Sen. King represents Maine
Politics has taken an unpleasant turn. It has become “them” or “us.” If this were a marriage, there would be a divorce. No union can work without discussion and compromise. November offers voters a chance to keep those in office who work for Maine. Alternatively, it is a chance to replace those who do not […]

Confidence in CMHVI
I came to Central Maine Medical Center in 2002 as Director of Cardiology to help start Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute. At the time, there was substantial controversy over the new cardiac program in Lewiston. Some local doctors and politicians said we would fail and worked hard to make that prediction come true. Fortunately […]

Bring back the caring
I, plus my two brothers and their spouses, live in Sebago. Bridgton is our hospital. Our commute time to Bridgton is roughly a third (20 minutes) of the time it would take to go to Lewiston (60 to 80 minutes.) More important is the excellence of the staff; their genuine caring for our well-being; and […]

A hole in my heart
Central Maine Healthcare president and CEO Jeff Brickman is allowing Bridgton/Rumford Hospitals to die on the vine. Why? I was lucky to have been employed, placed in the heart of that group. I saw the beat, the best team put in a caring environment; medical staff, nursing staff, every staff member worked as one providing […]

I am mad as hell
I am weary thinking about the demise of American democracy. Voting President Trump and his Republican cronies out of office is a necessary first step to correct the problem. The system is rigged, and the corruption is endemic. The swamp got murkier because Trump appointees know that there will be no opposition or ramifications to […]

Respect the president and the press
On Nov. 8, 2016, Americans elected Donald Trump as president. Anyone who disagrees should be called out. He was elected to represent all 330 million Americans and their interests at home and abroad, not just one party or group. Unfortunately, those who disagree with his policies are seen as anti-Trump, moon bats (whatever that is), […]
