    ‘War’ against those with low incomes

    Congratulations to Maine’s mayors, who have spoken out against the budget policies of the current administration. There is indeed a “war” going on in Augusta against those with low incomes. It’s hard to understand why those who had no hand in the current economic hardships need to be punished for poor decision-making in Augusta and […]

    Politicians need lessons of couple’s therapy

    I’m convinced that the current political climate is bad for our individual mental and emotional health. In couple’s therapy, my professional field, we know that the need for one party “to be right” is a losing strategy for that couple. Health for the couple comes when there is mutual giving and gifting on both sides […]

    Fibroids a medical condition, not birth control issue

    Thanks to Sheila Malone (letter, “Fluke tried to teach men about women’s health care,” March 27) for figuratively taking me to the wood shed about things Sandra Fluke and women’s health. No defense of Rush Limbaugh, he can take care of himself. I simply did a comparison of media treatment of a conservative radio host […]

    Big bills in future vs. a bit of pain management now

    Here we go again; another governor saving us taxpayers money? I recently saw a letter from the Department of Health and Human Services, stating a 45-day maximum limit on pain medication for anyone that has been on it for a year. It basically says you have 45 days from April 1 to get over it, […]

    Young adults can’t afford to buy insurance

    Barack Obama is trying to get the young, healthy population to buy medical insurance to off-set the costs of the uninsured. Most of the young, healthy population can’t afford to buy medical insurance on their own. The part-time jobs they have don’t offer any benefits, and they can’t stay on their parent(s)’ health care policies […]

    Unthinkable may be needed if Iran gets nukes

    Some people are ignoring the possibility of Iran’s nuclear threat, as expressed by our State Department, the UN Security Council, the European Union and the International Atomic Energy Agency. They discount the specter of Iran furnishing nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations, such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Since Iran currently supplies arms to these organizations, the […]

    Revised LURC bill better, but still needs oversight

    As a Franklin County Commissioner for 23 years, I am pleased that the Legislature’s Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry Committee has unanimously approved reforms for the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC). As the planning, zoning, and permitting agency for Maine’s 10.4 million acres of North Woods and Unorganized Territories, LURC is very important. As originally written, […]

    Legislators, police seen violating law while driving

    I was driving home on March 26, on Interstate 95 from Augusta going north. As I got on the freeway, I noticed a vehicle in the passing lane going fairly fast. It had a state of Maine House of Representatives license plate. I followed the vehicle and saw the driver was talking on his cellphone […]

    Clean up welfare abuse, but start at right place

    The LePage administration vowed to clean up welfare abuse in Maine. The only problem with that wash job is they started at the wrong end of the totem pole. They found some small cases, where recipients actually had to show proof of income and the ones on Medicaid who need the extra help. Lo and […]

    Corey Wilson a new face for House District 56

    Like most other people, I suspect, I am tired of exclusively partisan politics. In Augusta’s east side (House District 56), the incumbent said on TV (March 16), “I have a great lady” — then goes on to extol the virtues of a hand-picked successor. How about the opponent? Corey Wilson is a fresh, new, nonpolitical […]
