Isn’t it stealing when person takes something not his?
If a person takes, or even instigates the taking of, something that doesn’t belong to him or her, from a building that does not belong to them, is that not stealing? Aren’t thieves arrested and jailed anymore? Just wondering. Gloria S. Brann Skowhegan

Wind power speculators an ‘invasive species’
There’s a noxious, invasive species spreading through the state called wind power speculators. And they’re ready to quickly spread to any hilltop that can gather the necessary local, state and federal subsidies. They’ve been spotted in many Upper Kennebec Valley communities, where they threaten the local population’s peace and their precarious lifestyles. If you spot […]

‘Lead by good example and sacrifice with humility’
In my opinion, the Aroostook County Republican Committee, has made a very questionable decision in advocating for a fundraiser to pay for a misjudgment by our governor when so many working Mainers are without livable-wage jobs, adequate food, safe, warm housing and health insurance. If these people have discretionary funds that they can donate to […]

10-year-old gets it, but most don’t
Isn’t it amazing that a 10-year-old (Alyssa Bean from Sidney, letter April 10), along with Gov. Paul LePage, gets it, but most of the rest of the “idiots” in the Maine Legislature and the United States Congress don’t. Gary Kitchen Oakland

People of Maine shouldn’t pay for LePage’s mistake
I cannot believe the Aroostook Republican Committee has the audacity to ask the people of Maine to pay for Gov. Paul LePage’s mistake. It’s bad enough that he removed the mural from the Department of Labor, but now they want us to help cover the $60,000? Outrageous. If the people of Maine contribute to this, […]

‘Let’s go on about something other than LePage’
Hey, how about those Red Sox? The weather is great. Manny Ramirez is walking away from baseball rather than serve another drug-related suspension. Let’s go on about something other than Gov. Paul LePage. Do people really think that letters to the editor flaming him are going to make an impact? Instead, people should write their […]

Petition ‘would establish a state recall process’
I consider myself a Libertarian, therefore I have strong beliefs in one’s freedom of expression. Gov. Paul LePage’s dogmatic approach to recent issues have proven to Maine citizens that he indeed is not leadership material and couldn’t care less about any one’s freedom of expression other than his own. Luckily for him, his heritage gave […]

Government handouts to business don’t create jobs
Every day I hear and/or read the mantra(s): “Eliminate or reduce business taxes and/or regulations and it will create jobs.” “Reduce government uncertainty and it will create jobs.” Our esteemed governor repeatedly regurgitates these absolutes to convince us that all of his proposals will create good jobs. Well, it worked; he created jobs removing works […]

Drug called ‘bath salts’ has dangerous chemical
I would like to warn people about a synthetic drug called “bath salts,” which can be sold legally in stores. This substance, however, contains a chemical that gives the user a meth-like high when snorted or smoked. It comes in a bag or a glass container that looks like a lip-balm package. When a person […]

What else did LePage say when first seeing mural?
When Gov. Paul LePage made his first official visit to Maine’s Department of Labor, he viewed there the grand 36-foot mural depicting Maine’s labor history. In addition to his now-famous denouncing it as being anti-business, did anyone nearby imaginatively hear him conclude his vocal opinion by muttering: “Bah humbug!” Maal Sibulkin Winslow
