LePage needs an education about education
As a retired teacher of 27 years, I feel I must address what is happening in our state government. We have a governor who is a bully, and he is leading the lemmings in the Legislature straight off a cliff as fast as he can, pulling the rest of the state over with him. Like any other bully, Gov. Paul LePage must have a supportive audience in order to succeed. The Republican members in the Legislature have again reversed their votes in order to support the governor's veto of bills that could have brought benefits to our state. Shame on you, legislators!

Laptops not necessary for solid education
Shut down the school laptops program? This may be the best suggestion our governor has made, since being in office. I can see the usefulness of it in the higher grades but wouldn't it be nice to have some money available to buy, say, classroom supplies, books, better pay for our teachers?

Support pre-K; put kids ahead of politics
Local leaders are right ("Early childhood education gets new push at State House," May 29) to back investments that make quality pre-kindergarten affordable. But Augusta doesn't have to go it alone.

When we attended the Memorial Day parade and ceremony in South China, we were very impressed with the keynote speaker's presentation at the ceremony. Lorna Hatch, chief of voluntary service from VA Maine Healthcare Systems-Togus, told the history of the hospital. And what an amazing history it is.

MaineCare extension a win-win for Mainers
Rarely do we have such a win-win situation! If Gov. Paul LePage and Maine Republicans support the Democrat's plan to extend MaineCare, the federal government will provide 100 percent of the funding to insure those in Maine who cannot afford health insurance, many of whom are wage earners. Nearly 70 percent of Mainers agree that we should accept the dollars.

We need statewide ban to stop fireworks noise
Memorial day weekend has passed, signaling the unofficial beginning of summer, time to plant the gardens, set up camp, open the pool, and for all us dog owners to break out the Thunder-shirts. (Thunder-shirts are man and dog's best friend to help ease the anxiety created by thunder storms and fireworks.)
