LePage has damaged image of businesses
As a small-business owner who functions as both an employer and employee, I am gravely concerned by the ongoing disparagement of and hostility toward those who are considered labor. In a few short months, our marginally elected governor has managed to do more damage to the image of business, large and small, than all his […]

Secret societies cannot win as long as we know God
We live in an age where the Sheriff of Nottingham has a computer, and Robin Hood and his Merry Men have been sent to therapy for an “attitude adjustment.” It does not take a rocket scientist to see that the United States has drifted enormously away from her constitutional moorings toward shipwreck on the rocks […]

Unfunded liability is state’s debt, not employees’
In the letter from Greg Paquet on March 29, he criticized the Maine State Employees Association for criticizing Paul LePage’s proposal to deal with the unfunded liability without offering a solution. Paquet seems to misunderstand the unfunded liability, which exists solely because the state failed to fund its portion of the costs of the state […]

How are Legislature, LePage cutting back?
With all of the talk about cutting this and cutting that, I’d like to know what the Legislature and Paul LePage are doing in their respective areas to cut back. A $40,000 salary for an entry-level position for an assistant with no relevant experience seems a bit extreme to me. Dawna Myrick Farmingdale

Was historical wall life-threatening to Maine?
Nothing better to do? Was the Maine historical wall so life-threatening that it had to come down, had to be moved? Who voted for this so-called governor? Hope you’re happy. Gov. Paul LePage had to come in and take right over to let everyone know he can do what he wants. Forget about the Maine […]

LePage again shows his ‘ignorance, insensitivity’
Gov. Paul LePage has done it again — shown his ignorance and insensitivity. Now he has removed a mural in the Department of Labor building that depicted the history of Maine workers. Why? During his campaign, and since, he has declared that he is working for the people of Maine, not special interests. Doesn’t seem […]

‘Kennebec Journal should be ashamed of itself’
A young man was killed in a tragic accident on my road Monday night. After reading today’s “Augusta man dies in rollover” article in your newspaper, I went from sad to furious. I can’t understand why the newspaper felt the need to mention his criminal record from his teen years. It is totally irrelevant to […]

More important news than stories about mural
There are definitely more important things to report on, or at least put on the front page, than to run several days about a mural.
