Who or what is Donald Trump? Not intending to reduce government to the size of a boson, he can’t be a right-wing nut-bag. As for being a liberal, he favors too many inhumane, Constitution-bashing, divisive and victimizing policies for that. No, it appears he actually is the character he presents himself to be, like the […]

‘Lost’ EBT cards? Don’t think so
Let me see … I have had a drivers license for 70 years. I have never lost it (either to law enforcement or to neglect). I have had a credit card since 1980. I think I may have mislaid it twice in all that time. Yet folks who have EBT cards are allowed to ” […]

Why all the fuss?
Ever since the Lewiston School Budget was voted down, I have seen article after article trying to justify the vote. Attempts to blame the low turnout, some of the key people who did not vote, letters to the editor, even comments from the superintendent that if all parents had turned out, it wouldn’t have happened.

Let the commission do its job
Recently, I attended the Great Falls Forum at the Lewiston Public Library. Chip Morrison and Holly Lasagna presented an overview of the work done to date by the L-A Charter Commission.

Against prohibitive wind ordinance
Dixfield’s current taxable value is $159,860,210. The town needs $3,261,148 in taxes. That requires a 20.40 mil rate. The proposed wind power project, valued at $36 million, would bring in $734,000 in taxes. That would lower the town’s mill rate to 16.65. According to the town office, the average home in Dixfield is valued at […]

Better planning needed
I write in response to a photo and caption, “Roads are for everyone in Oxford County” (Sun Journal, May 15). There is not a more dangerous bicycle route through Oxford County than the Sodom Road. It is one of the most crooked and narrow in the county. It is dangerous for automobiles, to say nothing […]

Hillary had her chance
Now that she wants to elevate herself to being president of the United States, Hillary Clinton promises to solve this country’s problems, but why hasn’t she done that already in all the years she has been in Washington? There is a famous saying that goes something like, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and […]

In rebuttal: Freedom to choose works best
This is in response to a Sun Journal story (May 7) on the front page. The article ignored those statistics on right-to-work states that do not support the premise of the story — that Gov. Paul LePage misused figures about right-to-work states. Gov. LePage has asked people to do their own homework on right-to-work states […]
