In one advertisement on television, the police want the public to vote “yes” on Question 3 for more gun control. In another ad, the police support a “no” vote. That is confusing. But all the laws that are needed are already on the books. The police should know that. Criminals don’t need a mother, father, […]

Doesn’t belong in Oval Office
Donald Trump doesn’t pay taxes, but he claims to be a billionaire. He says that everyone supports him, but he hates most Americans. He can grab women by the crotch because he is rich. That venom-spewing charlatan doesn’t belong in the Oval Office. He should be confined to a padded cell. If that dolt is […]

Vote ‘no’ on Question 2
A “yes” vote on Question 2 will add a 3 percent surcharge tax on individuals with incomes above $200,000 to create a state fund for school districts. If Question 2 passes, small business owners will not be able to afford to give donations to non-profit agencies. I believe that a lot of those individuals will […]

Breton an independent thinker
I will be voting for Elijah Breton to represent New Gloucester and part of Poland. Breton’s independent thinking is something that continues to impress me when discussing the issues. His views do not represent one particular party. He considers all sides of an issue without undue influence from outsiders. He is very intelligent, articulate and […]

Corruption in the Clinton machine
I believe Hillary Clinton is a criminal and should be indicted. She has done more harm with all her scandals than Richard Nixon ever did. Clinton is a liar with a horrendous track record as secretary of state, but most or all media are favoring Clinton and play up attacks on Donald Trump. Uninformed people […]

People doing the work
The citizens of Maine have made a choice to submit citizens initiatives because of the lack of action on the part of the Legislature and governor. Minimum wage, gun background checks and school funding have all been before the Legislature and have not been acted upon. Elected officials who do not like the wording of […]

Marijuana a safer alternative
I am voting “yes” on Question 1. Marijuana can help Mainers get off of addictive, deadly opiates, just as it did for me. I am a lifelong Mainer and a 22-year veteran of the Navy. I loved my time in the service, but returned with PTSD and excruciating pain from an accident on a submarine. […]

Government insult
Recently, I happened to hear the great news that the Social Security benefits cost of living increase will be about five dollars per month. Wow. How can they afford such an increase? Or, are they laughing at people? It is an insult, above and beyond. It is a slap in the face. The cost of […]
