    What is wrong with working for a living?

    We finally have a true people’s governor. It has always been easy to promise change for the working people, but the doing has always been the problem. The entrenched liberals have given away the farm for years (it ensured another vote for them later). Why not give the rich people’s money away, so what if […]

    GOP forcing nation onto financially suicidal path

    Many of my friends say that there is no appreciable difference between the two political parties. With regard to foreign policy, unfortunately, I agree with them. During my adult life, there have been many wars and many intrusions by the United States into other countries where we have no business. We have overthrown legally elected […]

    Janet Dyer (letter, July 9, "CMP's Policies Manage Osprey Nest Responsibly") is concerned that people may have the wrong impression of CMP's actions regarding the osprey along the 176 miles of line being discontinued by the Maine Power Reliability Project.

    Jesus wouldn’t involve himself in affairs of state

    A recent writer to the Morning Sentinel, serving in the Legislature in Augusta at the behest of God, points out that the Constitution does not mention the need to separate church and state. But it cannot therefore be assumed that the opposite is intended, that church and state should unite. The writer worries about being […]

    Parade needed more bands, scouts, spirit

    Where was the parade? Two bands and 50 cars — a parade? Granted, a few veterans participated. Bless them, that’s what a parade is all about. But where were the high school bands — Messalonskee, Lawrence, Winslow and Waterville? Plus an hour and a half wait. Shame. Let’s get the bands, more Boy Scouts, Girl […]

    Many students in SAD 13 Industrial Arts Program

    I’m upset that, once again, the MSAD 13 School Board in Bingham is looking to cut out the industrial arts program. For the past five years, MSAD 13 School Board members look at the number of prospective students and then they make recommendations as to what programs ought to be cut. Each year, the actual […]

    Money in consumers’ pockets best for business

    I read Richard LaPorte’s letter to the editor in the Kennebec Journal this morning (July 13) with some interest. Most businesses have plenty of money these days and interest rates are at a historic low should they need more. At the same time, unemployment is at a historic high so plenty of willing workers are […]
