This is in response to a front page story, “Democrats blast way LePage finds funding for bills” (June 28). Gov. Paul LePage seems to view himself as the decider when, in fact, he acts as if he were a petulant child — stomping his feet and wailing about how evil his adversaries are. His “my […]

Obeying traffic rules
I cannot believe that Bill Kennedy (June 22) wants people to pay for riding a bicycle. Young people are not able to get a regular driver’s license. That’s about it. What will be next — a license for walking and talking? Kennedy should realize that his suggestion is not reasonable. Is there anyone who hasn’t […]

Stop the kowtowing
Gov. Paul LePage has been quoted as saying “Only when Washington politicians stop kowtowing to powerful retail grocers … will American taxpayers have a respectable food net.” Why not have a food necessity card? Buy a bag of grapes instead of chips; a container of juice, milk or water instead of soda? LePage has a […]

He listens to people and has a passion for giving back to the community. His commitment to improving the lives of many […]

Get rid of assault weapons
Sunday’s news shows’ participants exclaim that the problems with mass killings is a lack of gun controls or inadequate background checks and follow-up. It seems impossible for the FBI and the CIA to psychoanalyze every terrorist and nut job in the world. A watch list is a great idea, with a reasonable time period before […]

Obama has no respect for laws
America is in a mess — morally, financially — and has become divided. Why? We have a Congress of followers, not leaders. They have allowed President Obama to weaken and tear this country apart. I question if his plan, all along, has been to destroy this country by working with the United Nations to create […]

Proud supporter of Sen. Brakey
Sen. Eric Brakey is not only Maine’s youngest state senator, he is one of the most independent and successful. Brakey is so successful because, unlike many in Augusta, he cares about the people of his community, not the partisan games of Augusta. As my senator for the past two years, Brakey has served as chairman […]

Puzzled by ‘mean cow’ story
I am very confused after reading the story about the “mean cow,” that had to be shot (June 21). Being a dairy farmer for more than 50 years, I was confused as to why it took 10 to 15 rounds to put the cow down. The picture shows the police officer and the cow looking […]

Democrats’ knee-jerk reaction
It was a sorry, sorry spectacle to see more than 200 members of Congress (all Democrats) conducting a “sit-in” to protest Republicans’ non-support of gun control measures. The Democrats’ hypocrisy in blaming guns instead of terrorists after every shooting is predictable. They are not trying to save lives or provide solutions. They will continue to […]

Ease fascination with war, weapons
The United States prides itself on having the most powerful military the world has ever seen. In negotiations with unfriendly countries, the military option is always “on the table.” If a country seems to be aggressive, the U.S. demonstrates its military power by having “exercises” nearby or builds military bases nearby. The enormous power of […]
