GOP turns over taxation function to Grover Norquist
As far as I know, no one has written a differing opinion to your editorial of Sept. 20, “Tax increase talk is blather; just simplify tax code.” So here, belatedly, go I. After saying that the president’s proposal to increase taxes (on the rich) was “an unusually bad idea for a president who specializes in […]

Even Obama admits Americans no better off
I do not have any issues with anyone expressing their opinions, but if a person is going to express opinions as facts, they should be backed up with facts.

However, the people I have the hardest time to stomach are the ones who will use someone for their own selfish gains and then discard them like a soiled piece of toilet tissue.

Noise, bad roads, road kill pollute once-peaceful valley
We moved into our home on U.S. Route 201, south of Skowhegan, almost 40 years ago. Then, the road was in good condition, and the traffic was brisk only when the Canadians drove through on their way to Old Orchard or when the Skowhegan State Fair was in full swing. The loudest noise we heard […]

Summers writes letter to students to intimidate
Secretary of State Charlie Summers has written to college students, insisting that unless they get a Maine driver’s license and car registration, they may not vote. I don’t believe there is a requirement that your car be registered where you vote. Many of these students, however, do not drive in Maine because they do not […]

Potatoes good for kids, but they need to play outside
It is not potatoes that make children fat; it has nothing to do with school lunches. It is what they eat out of school and what they drink. These children should be out running and playing games and stay away from the television. Potatoes are very good for you. They have as much potassium as […]
