Letter: Mike Tipping is the best choice for District 8

“NOAA’s legal mandate must protect right whales, but it can only be done effectively if fishermen are willing to be a part of the solution.”

Environmental activism has become a forum for opposition to large development projects

Maine is not better off under Janet Mills
“By any rational standard, the lives of Maine people are not, in fact, better than they were in the LePage years, dooming her core reelection message.”

“Many supporters of abortion access are pushing for the elimination of the filibuster to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.”
Taxpayers right to sound alarm over government-owned broadband networks
“As efforts to expand access to broadband continue, taxpayers should remain wary of GONs since these projects often overpromise and underdeliver.”
Letter: In abortion debate, I know what is wrong. Do other people?

Letter: True concern for the unborn would include better access to contraception
“I think that if the anti-abortion folks were really concerned about the unborn, then every woman in the U.S. of childbearing age would have unfettered access to effective, affordable contraception.”
I watched male loved ones deny their hearing loss. Left untreated, it devastated their lives.
“If your father is one of the 500 million worldwide with hearing loss, try this gift: Remind him that you love him dearly and want him as a trusted adviser for as long as humanly possible.”
