Letters

Trump, Republicans, and the Rule of Law

Prior to the 2016 elections, Hillary Clinton had been before a Republican Congress numerous times on Benghazi and lost emails. Seven investigations later it was found there was no wrongdoing. The Republicans severely pilloried Hillary Clinton, all for political gain. They are still at it.

Misrepresentation of community sentiment

As a resident of Fort Kent and Superintendent of Schools for all three school units in the Valley Unified Education Service Center, I am writing to ask the individual or group behind the “Keep our Schools in Fort Kent” and “Help Save Our School” signs to stop posting these throughout our community, as they constitute a misrepresentation of community sentiment in Fort Kent and across MSAD 27.

Take the virtual tours of model schools to see what Valley Unified could be

This letter is addressed to everyone in the Valley who has reservations about the new proposed Regional School. We are on the Site Selection Committee for one reason: to bring a curriculum to the Valley students that is not currently available at any of the schools in use today.

ATV numbers, speed are concerning

To the editor: I feel that before going any further, you should know where I'm coming from and where I'm intending on going concerning ATV activity.

To dialogue, or not

To the editor: I read the latest letter to the Times by Mr. Dubay. If not for the first paragraph I would have no idea what he was talking about. Somehow he managed to get Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Auguste Comte and even Moses into a letter about Chasse and Crean.

Grateful for library supporters

To the editor: On behalf of the Fort Kent Public Library staff and Board of Trustees, we would like to thank all who helped us reach our local $20,000 fundraising goal.

Madawaska residents seek compromise

To the editor: The high schools in Madawaska, Fort Kent and St. Agatha are more than just buildings that house our children as they learn various academics.

Maine’s record high

To the editor: Maine recently set a record high temperature and a record low temperature.

Rogue Trump

To the editor: Trump’s alluded remark to have the whistleblower and staff who gave him info treated as traitors and possibly executed was the last straw for me (The whistleblower is not a traitor but Trump is his own worst enemy, www.bloomberg.com).

Corporate greed and avarice

To the editor: What do you call a corporate entity worth billions who last November unilaterally, and in secret, planned to close five plants, move one plant to Mexico, eliminate 14,000 jobs, start making Chevy Blazers in Mexico, whose CEO receives $22 million in annual salary, all while they talk of laying off workers and closing factories?

Both political parties to blame

To the editor: It seems Mr. Chasse is still at it with his usual one-sided ramblings condemning those nasty conservative Republicans. I usually don’t pay much attention to what he has to say, but one sentence he wrote caught my eye in his last contribution to the Times.

Tick tock, back and forth

To the editor: For two years, now, I've followed the discourse of James Chasse and Walter Crean in the opinion pages of this newspaper. I call it the twin monologues since there is no dialogue between them.

When will the deception end?

To the editor: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”

Madawaska residents won’t vote for Fort Kent site

To the Editor: I think the majority of Madawaska residents feel that some sort of school consolidation is needed and a $100 million grant to build a school is a very good opportunity that shouldn’t be passed up.

Guns, fear and political manipulation

To the editor: In the last 49 years there have been more deaths by gun than all deaths by war in American history - 1.5 million U.S. citizens killed by guns while 1.2 million have died in all American conflicts combined, according to an article in The Independent.

Grateful for landowners who support public access

Some of the best outdoor adventures rely on the right mix of public and private lands.

A matter of identity

To the editor: Being social organisms we humans tend to want to socialize with those most similar to us, who think like us, who have the same, or nearly the same, ethical, political, religious and moral values.

Looking toward lower drug prices

Rising drug prices are hitting Mainers hard. My constituents tell me regularly that they are struggling to afford their prescriptions at the pharmacy.
