Maine would be well served with Dr. Nirav Shah as governor. He’s a man of great intellect, has the willingness to listen and the ability to persuade — as well as the courage and honesty to call out the grift in the CDC’s ongoing COVID-vaccine restrictions. Gary GroweBangor

If Maine isn’t happy about Trump policy, it should act that way | Letter
We see in rough poll numbers that much of Maine feels that President Trump’s policies have a negative effect on Maine. Good, right? Wrong. We are still struggling to initiate change. It’s not enough to be “concerned,” as Sen. Collins would say, and unwilling or afraid to act, to stand up and speak out to […]
Maine’s Question 1 is about voter security | Letter
When I go to the hospital or doctor’s office, I must show a photo ID. Should someone want to purchase items such as liquor or cigarettes they are asked for an ID. I even had to show an ID when shipping a package via FedEx. What does not make sense is that in the state […]
Maine must protect girls’ sports and spaces | Letter
When sitting through these Title IX school board meetings, what stands out is the contrast between Parents’ Rights in Education (PRE)-trained parents and the activists opposed to protecting girls’ sports and spaces. PRE trains moms and dads to speak from the heart — to share their stories, experiences or simple facts that anyone can understand. […]
Take a closer look at Trump’s ‘Inferno’ | Letter
I listened with amusement recently when Donald Trump discussed the possibility of getting into heaven. He thought his chances were pretty good. If there is a heaven and a hell, Trump will be going to the latter. This topic reminded me of reading Dante’s poem “The Inferno” in high school. According to him, there are […]
Here’s a radical idea for America | Letter
Here’s a wild idea: democracy! One vote for each voter. The candidate who gets the most votes wins! Oh yeah, we’re a republic not a democracy. So, we get to endure all that fun redistricting. How about a simple democratic vote? One vote per person. What could happen? Valerie Razsa Gray
Student evaluations need to be objective | Letter
Activities that engage students are fine, but we still need to be able to measure how much they’ve learned.
Look beyond the new election map | Letter
As we contemplate the new gerrymandered election map in Texas, it would be smart to remember that Adolf Hitler never achieved an absolute majority in a free and fair German election. While the Nazi Party experienced significant growth in popularity in the early 1930s, particularly during times of economic and political instability, it was unable […]
Hollywood fundraiser for Susan Collins can’t be serious | Letter
A benefit to celebrate the senator’s ‘moderation’ is something straight out of Hollywood fiction.
Canadians have too much to lose by joining the US | Letter
I see value in a union into one country. The United States could access Canada’s vast resources and Canadians could access U.S. markets. But, parts of Canada joining the U.S. is not the right approach. Canada is the pragmatic democracy that the U.S. has always yearned to be. United States freedoms are not actually protected. […]
