Use the $100 million or lose it

To the editor: Just about one year ago, at a school board meeting in Fort Kent, whereafter the board decided to hire a law firm, a comment was made that SAD 27 taxpayers would be funding that law firm and likely 50 percent of the opposing law firm for Valley Unified.

Listen to the scientists

To the editor: The COVID-19 virus is nothing more than a bunch of proteins surrounding replicating material called RNA whose main mission in life is to replicate and multiply.

Wear blue on Nov. 20 in support of Valley Unified

To the Editor: Soon (December 31st), final decisions will be made with regards to the Valley Unified School.

Valley Unified teachers speak out

To the editor: The Teacher’s Associations from SAD 33, SAD 27, and Madawaska wholeheartedly support our superintendent of schools, Ben Sirois, as well as the new regional high school project. We feel that no site selection process would have been perfect or would have pleased everyone.

Soul-searching recommended

To the editor: $100 million rests on the backs of seven school board members of the SAD 27 school district.

The gift of freedom

To the editor: I turned 18 in 1967 and that year was my first vote. I forget what I voted for but I did vote. Not long after I volunteered for Vietnam, and if I remember right, I did vote while I was there. I have been voting off and on ever since.

Why my vote won’t be for Biden

To the editor: In answer to Meghan Walsh’s letter to the Times [Oct. 7, 2020], explaining why she is voting for Biden, here is why I will not vote for him.

We need Collins’ experience

To the editor: I have followed Senator Susan Collins’ career closely for the past 24 years that she has been in office. The current campaign she is in to get re-elected to the U.S. Senate, and the caliber of the opponent she has running against her, is possibly the nastiest and most twisted with misinformation I have seen to date.

School system controversy benefits no one

To The Editor: I hit the nail on the head in my Nov. 16, 2019, letter to the editor in the St. John Valley Times -- “The Entire State Is Watching” -- when I wrote, “Fort Kent, priding itself as the little town that can, will forever be known statewide as the little town that cried.”

Welfare statistics don’t add up

To the editor: I have said many times that not all Republicans are liars, but I have found that they all hedge, obfuscate, and exaggerate the facts in order to get themselves elected.

Demonstrations haven’t resulted in peace
