Susan Collins says she’s “extremely alarmed” by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s firing of his month-old CDC Director Monarez. Similarly, when he fired the vaccine advisory board she said that was a bad mistake. Yet, knowing his anti-vaccine history, Sen. Collins voted to confirm RFK Jr. She also helped to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. […]

Geezers like Mills and Collins need to step aside | Letter
There is some chatter that Gov. Janet Mills may compete against Sen. Susan Collins for her seat in the U.S. Senate. What will be the reaction of the young people in our state when they are faced with a 78-year-old competing with a 72-year-old for a six-year term for one of the highest offices in […]

Consult experts for child vaccine advice | Letter
Having read that Joseph Ladapo, surgeon general of Florida, is pushing to remove vaccine requirements for children, I was prompted to research his credentials, which are quite impressive. He trained at quality institutions in adult medicine, but I question his competence to advise on pediatric health issues. Florida ought to hire a board-certified pediatrician or […]

Maine should join the other 36 states requiring voter ID | Letter
I’ve been a volunteer poll worker in Sagadahoc County for a few years now. I’ve seen how much work goes into it. When I work at the voter table, many people want to show their ID and are very upset when it isn’t required. Maine should join the 36 other states that already require voter […]

Canadian was right about the US | Letter
I commend Canadian Rhiannon Hamdi for the well-written Aug. 28, 2025 op-ed (“Our neighbors to the south need to look in the mirror”).

Sad to say I’m done with Maine | Letter
I live in Ottawa and truly miss traveling to the U.S. two to three times per year. It’s unfortunate and sad for such a beautiful country to spread such hatred and selfishness. However, this too shall pass. I see many state officials asking Canadians to return to the U.S. Despite the fear of crossing the […]

Maine Democrats are cannibals | Letter
Democrats are cannibals. If we don’t stop preying on our own in the face of peril, we will cease to exist. Case in point? Graham Platner. Platner, a candidate who has managed to convince his deeply Republican neighbors of the threat the current administration poses to both them and the country, has suddenly gained the […]
