Letters

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.

The other side of the story

To the editor: Below are some of the comments Mr. Chasse mentioned in his latest letter to the Times, Aug. 7, 2019, “Christianity takes a turn.”

SAD 27 needs to revamp budget

To the editor: They're at it again (increase,increase), even with decreased enrollment and teachers in SAD 27.

Jesus was a Liberal Democrat and a Socialist

Jesus was a Liberal Democrat and a Socialist. The defining message of the four Christian Gospels and of Jesus himself was this: helping the poor; healing the sick; clothe the naked; feed the hungry; uplift the underdog; care of children; distribute wealth; be mindful of immigrant and stranger in your land; etc.

The ‘real traitors’ to America

Mr. (James) Chasse (Trump’s attitude smacks of treason-6/26/19) needs to spare the readers of the Valley Times his frequent monotonous and vacuous political commentaries.

Collins delivers for the County again

Senator Susan Collins has once again proven that she is working for the people of Maine by securing funding to fix the bridge that connects Madawaska to Edmunston, New Brunswick.

Group behavior

Ever since 2016, my question, “Why would voters vote against their self-interests,” has not been answered.

Informing public should be a priority

I am writing in response to the article in the St. John Valley Times on July 17 regarding the new public school.

Setting up Madawaska fireworks fund for 2020 after succes

If you saw the fireworks show at the Birch Point Beach on the Fourth of July, I hope you enjoyed them. I bought the fireworks and put the shot together.
