My friend, state Sen. John Patrick, has faithfully served his community since he was first elected to Maine’s House of Representatives in 2000. He is an honest man who has worked hard to further the interests of the folks in Senate District 18. Anyone who knows him knows that he will continue to do so […]

Brakey’s greatest talent
The headline above a letter to the editor (Aug. 3) endorsing the candidacy of Eric Brakey to be re-elected as a state Senator read “Brakey surpassed expectations.” Really? At some point, he submitted what may have been the worst piece of legislation considered during that legislative session. In that bill, Sen. Brakey proposed to repeal […]

LePage should redirect his life
Gov. Paul LePage should be ashamed of himself for his continuous racist remarks (Associated Press article, Sun Journal, Aug. 26). He is an instrument of the devil that spreads the disease of hate. Hate is Satan’s greatest gift to us, and LePage finds comfort in that gift. He needs to redirect his life and find […]

Sampson brings understanding

Area voters have the opportunity to strengthen both by electing Kimberly Sampson in November. Sampson brings compassion and understanding to issues facing today’s families, and knowledge and skills to improve outcomes. She realizes that better family […]

Some of them changed jobs frequently and were in Paris only briefly, earning a paycheck and experience, but with little commitment to or knowledge of the town. Norway has had stability with David Holt at the helm, but […]

EpiPens got too expensive
I have seen a lot of media coverage regarding the issuing of Naloxone (Narcan) free to drug addicts and their families. I can understand families wanting to have the means available to save their family member’s life. I am not unsympathetic to the drug addicted person’s inability to resist drugs. A second chance at a […]

Remembering Kevin Mills
It was with a great sense of surprise and a greater sense of loss that I opened the Sun Journal on Tuesday, Aug. 9, to see Justin Pelletier’s article on Kevin Mills’ death. I have known, liked and respected Mills for well over 20 years, speaking with him during many athletic contests, but mostly at […]

Trump doesn’t have a clue
I think electing Donald Trump as president would be the biggest mistake this great country could ever make. How is he going to run a country that is made up of immigrants when he thinks that everyone who is not rich and white is no good? He is the biggest bigot and racist I have […]

Brakey’s true independence
Sen. Eric Brakey recently surprised us with a visit to our home. His mission was to listen to the views of his constituents. In the two years since Brakey was elected, he has challenged conventional wisdom in Augusta, demonstrating that an elected official can be both principled and effective, without being a blind party loyalist.
