Important school budget votes today, June 12
I believe politics has reduced the quality of education in SAD 13 and has denied our two towns the option to decide the outcome of Quimby School. Politics also killed any chance of starting a long-term plan this fall. In my opinion, incomes and retirement funds for teachers and administrators should not be favored over […]

LePage veto of research bond a breath of fresh air
It was like a breath of fresh air to read John Richardson’s article in the Morning Sentinel about Gov. Paul LePage’s veto of the research bond issue. It has been a long time coming that a governor has stood up to the bond issue. I never voted for LePage, but maybe I would have if […]

Better if US squadrons used in Memorial Day ad
We enjoyed the Memorial Day advertising spread on pages A4 and A5 of the Monday edition (May 28) of the Kennebec Journal. However, we were wondering why you used two pictures of the Royal Canadian Snowbirds aerial squadron instead of, say, the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels. Byron Campbell II Litchfield

Pro-Life Alliance spread false data about Poliquin
I received a solicitation in the mail from the National Pro-Life Alliance. It informed me that the only U.S. Senate candidate from Maine who is 100 percent pro-life is Scott D’Amboise. It also stated that none of the other candidates responded to their candidate surveys. Therefore, it surprised me that next to the name Republican […]

Grant has integrity, ability to serve as representative
Gay Grant may be known to some of us for her singing voice, but others know her for speaking up for the kids and for creating opportunity when she was on the SAD 11 School Board. She helped guide our schools through turbulent times. Others know her for her articles in the Capital Weekly newspaper, […]

Bustin will stand up to governor
I don’t know about you, but I am extremely disappointed by the way things are going in Augusta. The majority party in the Maine Legislature is taking our state in the wrong direction. Gov. Paul LePage makes decisions, proposals and vetoes dependent upon his punitive view of the world. And, Republican lawmakers seem to be […]

East-west highway would ruin millions of acres
Maine people let Gov. Angus King sell Plum Creek a beautiful part of our state. He said it was for forest conservation, for the good of our state, but that promise was not kept. Now another vulture of our land is about to ruin millions of acres. Peter Vigue of Cianbro wants to build a […]
