  Chizzle Wizzle good news KJ should have covered

  Where was the Kennebec Journal during the four Chizzle Wizzle performances, March 20-24? In vain, I looked for coverage of this wondrous event. This 121-year-old minstrel/olio deserves better from the local paper. With so much bad news dominating the media, the public needs some good news, and Chizzle Wizzle is very good news. Just think […]

  Thanks to KJ for two conservative columnists

  I would like to thank the Kennebec Journal for now carrying Charles Krauthammer’s column. I also would like to express my appreciation to the KJ for printing the most refreshing and honest editorial column that I have seen in a very long time. I’m speaking about the March 24 column by M.D. Harmon. It is […]

  Lawmakers practicing medicine without a license

  State legislators enacting their own medical opinions, such as limiting Medicaid for methadone to two years, would be laughable, if it weren’t shabby. Powers McGuire Augusta

  Crosswalks need to be seen to save pedestrians’ lives

  The front page of March 22’s Morning Sentinel had the story, “Pedestrian hospitalized after being hit by van.” Sgt. Matt Bard said, “the paint on the crosswalks is not visible.” The town of Madison has the same problem. The paint on the crosswalks is no longer visible, not even in front of the junior high. […]

  LePage takes vacation, while we go without

  It is so stupid that the governor has money for a vacation in Jamaica when we go without a lot. We need money for shelter, food for families and more help to get people jobs, and he uses our tax money for a trip. He gave his brother a job, and I don’t think there […]

  New homeless shelter in a very dangerous place

  I do not question the fact that the Waterville area needs more homeless shelter space. What I do question is why this new shelter under construction is sandwiched between two railroad tracks (one on the east side of the building and one on the west side) and a corner of the foundation not 10 feet […]

  Somerville should re-elect town’s second selectwoman

  I would like to remind voters of Somerville to vote on Friday and to attend the town meeting on Saturday. This time there is no contest for first selectman, so no problem there. My problem is why someone is running against our second selectwoman, Martha Staples. Staples is a staple in our town, no pun […]

  Not fair to reject bill supporting Caylee’s Law

  I am writing in regards to a bill that would have supported Caylee’s Law. The bill, however, was rejected and I do not feel this is fair. How many more children are going to be subjected to parents or whomever taking their lives and nothing is done about it. To me this was an important […]
