A new study appearing at Princeton’s website may test assumptions for some of us readers. For others, it will be a grim vindication of what we already suspected – the United States of America is no longer a democracy, but rather an oligarchy.
Wind Turbines Off Monhegan Island
I am wondering why the University of Maine’s proposed wind turbine test project, to be located just 2.5 miles off scenic Monhegan Island, isn’t front page news!
Sad To See
I can understand that residents in the neighborhood where Stepping Stones Housing Inc. is hoping to build temporary housing for homeless people would be concerned about strain on town resources, traffic and such, but I was sad to see how the potential clients for this service were described in the April 10 front page article.
NO EASY ANSWERS
Was there ever any bottom line accounting for how much the Boston Marathon Bombing cost last year?
Dishonest Governing
On the corner of our municipal lawn is a monument. Etched on that monument are the names of the many men and women of Wiscasset whose sacrifices have preserved life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the rule of democratic law for all of us.
THINKING CONSERVATIVELY
We were cheered by Waldoboro’s decision to move ahead with the purchase of a 70-foot vehicle scale for the Waldoboro Transfer Station last week.
This Second Collectivizing of Rights By The Supreme Court
It seems to me as if politics were now a stand-off between collective citizens (corporations) and individual citizens (like you and me.)
The Gravel Truck Issue is Back
The gravel truck issue is back! Unfortunately, the glaciers piled gravel north of the Boothbay and Pemaquid peninsulas, so gravel will be trucked from Whitefield to both areas.
Each town on the way needs to deal with that traffic.
THANK YOU, KAREN
She isn’t mentioned in our front page story, but everybody in favor of buying local, eating healthy foods, and doing something in the best interests of children, owes a big debt of gratitude to Karen Kleinkopf.
Jefferson Does Have A Bus Plan
I am compelled to respond to Larry Grimard’s letter, “We should be able to budget for buses” (LCN, 2/20/14, Page 4).
First, the things on which we agree: the safety of our students and the cost of repairs on an aging bus fleet does require vigilance. Second, the state Department of Education must approve bus purchases in order for the school to be reimbursed in future subsidies.
Taking The Lead
Mainers should be proud that we’re taking the lead on solving climate change, both at the state level and with small-business owners like me. It’s smart business, because climate change threatens Maine’s economy with more acidic oceans, unpredictable snowpack for our ski industry, rising seas that imperil coastal properties, and much more.
From the Editor’s Desk – MOVE THE QUESTION
I have decided to stop editing letters to the editor that address the topic of abortion.
Are You a Pacifist?
In response to Waldoboro’s Ray Perkins Feb. 6 letter, I gathered he is someone against killing and must be a pacifist. Pacifists do not believe in killing and become conscientious objectors to war, and capital punishment. Many are vegetarians or vegans and don’t eat meat.
IT IS ONLY A UFO
If we had to pick one person to see an Unidentified Flying Object, it would be The Lincoln County News sports editor Paula Roberts.
