Anne Williams is absolutely correct in her assertion (Jan. 28) that scientists can make valid conclusions about the weather they observe. My point is that the article on global warming that I referred to in my original letter (Jan. 25) was misleading. When people try to mold my opinion with misleading information, I question their […]

How do legal immigrants feel about illegal immigrants?
I have been wondering if somebody in the news media would ask immigrants who came into this country legally what they think of immigrants coming into this country through the back door. Seems to me legal immigrants would have a very different take on the subject of immigration than the news media has been showing […]

Charter Commission members deserve thanks
While the public should enjoy a vigorous debate on the merits of joining Lewiston and Auburn, I am concerned that the discussion and comments haven’t always remained professional.

Members of the Commission […]

What does Rep. Bruce Poliquin say?
Both of Maine’s senators have spoken out against the executive order blocking people from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States. But where is Rep. Bruce Poliquin?

Survival as a nation in question
In 10 short days following the inauguration, the United States has relinquished its position as a world leader.

I fear for the nation’s democracy when Vladimir Putin is allowed to interfere and is then treated […]

Macdonald’s words misleading
I work at a health care organization in Lewiston and proudly support local businesses with my money. I was dismayed to hear an interview with Lewiston Mayor Bob Macdonald about General Assistance for asylum seekers.
