Forest Ave development is reckless, irresponsible | Letter
A developer plans to build two three-story apartment buildings — 50 units total — at 1584 Forest Ave., a 1.5-acre piece of property behind Moran’s Market and along Talbot School Road. The project, Belfort Landing, would dramatically affect Belfort Street, a quiet residential cul-de-sac behind the site. To make it work, the developer intends to […]

Where’s the sustained outrage? | Letter
Where is the outrage? Yes, there have been demonstrations around the country protesting President Trump’s authoritarian moves.

Angus King’s ‘concern’ about Gaza is not enough | Letter
As a member of the Senate Armed Services and Select Intelligence Committees, Sen. Angus King wields considerable political influence. He recently signed Senate Resolution 224 requesting that the Trump administration hasten aid delivery to starving Palestinians in Gaza.

Collins should vote against ‘big, beautiful bill’ | Letter
Sen. Susan Collins should vote against the current reconciliation bill. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the cuts to Medicaid in the bill will make 39,000 Mainers lose their health insurance.

Trying times for the First Amendment | Letter
