I was disappointed to read Nancy Conway and Vera Littlefield’s letter to the editor (Feb. 25) concerning my company and Poland Spring. I shared my thoughts about Poland Spring’s potential expansion in Rumford and the benefits it could bring to the community there — as did others — but our praise for the company continues […]

The power of the people
I am encouraged to see that people are standing up for their rights and letting their elected representatives know how they feel. People’s willingness to write letters, make calls, protest — to me, that is ideal patriotism. If there will ever be universal medical insurance, universities for everyone and at least a living wage for […]

Beware of Route 17
Route 17 from Mexico to Byron is in good condition, but from Coos Canyon to Oquossoc it is in deplorable condition. Having traveled that road for 60 years, I find it to be in the worst shape I have ever seen. In many areas, a driver cannot go any faster than 20 mph or the […]

Televise them all
It is a sad day, indeed, when a person can’t find a high school basketball tournament game on the television. Public broadcasting used to start coverage on Wednesday, and now I can’t find even one on championship Saturday. There are enough stations now available on cable that they should be able to televise all the […]

Democrats gain inspiration
The power of the Republican Party was perfectly stated by Neil Bourgoin and Mary Jane Newell in their letters to the editor (Sun Journal, Feb. 25). There are no words to describe their commitment to the cause of their party. I can only hope that they realize the “great” power that their words have on […]

Good leader leads by example
I was shocked to learn that, according to some news sources, it costs more than $200,000 per hour to operate Air Force One. That means flying President Donald Trump to Florida and back comes close to a million dollars. Additionally, the New York City Police Department estimates it will cost up to $183 million a […]

Clear a path for oil delivery
I just read the article “So, you found your mailbox yet?” in the Sun Journal, Feb. 26. It was about plow trucks taking out mailboxes. The story also mentioned how the USPS wants 15 feet of clearance before and after every standing mailbox in order to deliver. Yet, people feel it is OK not to clear […]

Call volume won't decrease
It has been reported that Sen. Susan Collins said recently that she is “worried” about the high number of phone calls her office has received. I am not surprised since her party’s presidential candidate lost the popular vote by a sizable margin. The job of a U.S. senator is to represent the wishes of her […]

Just the facts, ma'am
Mary Jane Newell’s breathtakingly illogical letter (Feb. 25) claims that Donald Trump would be a “great president,” like Ronald Reagan. Where to begin? • Trump is a crude, vulgar sexual predator who bragged about grabbing women’s genitals. Reagan, as even his political opponents acknowledged, was a class act on the global stage. • Trump gushes […]

Improve the ACA, not replace
Watching the activity regarding the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, it appears that most people are in agreement about the future of the ACA. They like the coverage and don’t want it changed. People appear vehement on this issue. Interestingly, this is a bipartisan response. People are demanding full coverage, no denial or price […]
