Reader refutes statements of previous letter writers

Paul Cyr of Madawaska states in his letter to the editor that the Obama administration achieved 4.1 percent GDP on four separate occasions? Truly fiction.

Trump and the land of Oz

In 2007-2008, under a Republican administration, the greatest global economic crisis since the 1930s Great Depression occurred. Millions of jobs were lost.

Today I observed an action which I thought I would never observe in my or any lifetime: possible acts of treason by a sitting President of the United States against America. In my opinion, and of many others, Trump has committed treason against the United States.

Always two sides to a story

I once said I don’t mind being misquoted as long as I am given the opportunity to correct, so here we go again.

Political right residing in Emerald City

Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz” had it right: “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

Hold off on Supreme Court nominee until Russian probe over

I urge U.S. Sen. Susan Collins to join with Democrats and block any Supreme Court justice nomination until the Russian investigation is complete.

Collins, consistency, and climate change

In the fall, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins announced on the Senate floor that ignoring climate change is ‘simply not an option,’ but the United States is currently facing potential cut-backs from the Environmental Protection Agency on our Clean Car Standards.

Many made Four Corners Park shine

To the editor: It would be a shame not to mention the selfless efforts and volunteerism the Madawaska Four Corners Park received on June 23, 2018.
