I am writing in support of Roger Fuller as representative for District 59. Fuller is a retired educator with both classroom and administrative background. He served on several state-wide education committees and was the recipient of the Milken Educator Award. He is a small business person and the landlord of a small apartment building in […]

Students were disrespectful
Gov. Paul LePage was invited to speak at a UMF celebratory event, only to be faced with derogatory signs from UMF students Allyson Hammond and Nicholas Bray. I found that to be extremely distasteful and disrespectful to the incumbent governor. Who wouldn’t have been angered under those circumstances? Also, the headline points to yet another […]

Lewiston needs new thinking
It is time to re-educate Lewiston Public Works personnel about how they do winter operations in the city. The salt and calcium chloride they put on the streets in winter are very destructive. Administration officials should either be re-educated, or replaced with fresh minds with fresh ideas to manage the operations. My daughter lives in […]

Education as a partnership
Our children deserve more than a closed door. “There is no more important work to be done than to craft a better plan to educate Maine’s children” are the very truest of words (Sun Journal editorial, April 27). Gov. Paul LePage’s illegal efforts to hold a commission meeting behind closed doors as it relates to […]

Hardworking Mainers losing out
Mainers have wanted welfare reform for a long time. They know that the current system isn’t working for taxpayers, low-income families and, most importantly, for children at risk of hunger, homelessness and perpetual poverty. There is no denying that Democrats and Republicans have different views about welfare and the reform of a broken system. But […]

Do a trade for the governor
I have never had a lot good to say about Gov. Paul LePage, but I admit that I was intrigued when he named himself Commissioner of Education — although it seemed a dictatorial move — because of his seemingly high personal interest in the subject. Now I read two things (Sun Journal, April 27.) He […]

Better monument needed
I visited Gettysburg recently. I was looking forward to seeing the 20th Maine Infantry monument site. The weather was wonderful; the memorials were fantastic. The only fly in the ointment was when I finally got to the monument for the 20th Maine Infantry. I was very disappointed to find the meager memorial they had and […]

Trump thinks like us
Why are the liberals and the establishment Republicans so very scared of Donald Trump? They are demonizing him in the press, trying to railroad his campaign and accusing him of inciting riots. They are scared because Trump will not bow down to their demands. He will not follow their stupid, politically-correct agenda — an agenda […]

Maine deserves better
What is up with the governor? He walked out during a speech in Farmington just because he felt insulted? He needs to toughen up. He has a job to do. And secret meetings? Maine deserves better. How about it? Thomas Carey, Rumford

Solar power not the answer
I support Gov. Paul LePage’s veto of the poor solar power legislation. Maine recently announced it has risen to 21st among states when it comes to solar capacity per capita (watts/person). Nevada is No. 1 at 429 watts/person; Hawaii is No.2 at 394; and California is No. 3 at 338. What happens in Las Vegas […]
