Letters to the Editor

Vaccine law removes civil rights

I will be voting "yes" on Question 1 in order to preserve our basic civil liberties.

Maine needs retirement savings program

It would be fiscally irresponsible not to pass LD 594 and I strongly urge our legislators to pass this critical bill.

Standing up for vaccination freedom

We should be free to make our own choice regarding our health -- whether to receive or decline vaccines -- both options should be available and respected.

Vaccination law a reasonable solution

I’d like to share why my fellow health professionals are voting no on Question 1.

Vaccines halt communicable diseases

I am writing due to my concern of public opinion of vaccinations.

Caribou City Council objectives

Although I can only speak for myself, I think my fellow councilors would agree: the unsustainable financial trend the Caribou Fire and Ambulance Department is currently on needs to be fixed.

Spay/neuter clinics make a difference

If Halfway Home can continue sterilizing these cats as well as community cats, we can lighten our load of kittens coming in this spring.

EMS issue difficult all the way around

To say that the people of these towns who are facing the huge increases that Caribou has had to impose on the EMS services are overwhelmed and shocked has to be an understatement.

Aroostook County Fund an important resource

Applications for 2020 community-building grants are due Feb. 15.

Airline choice is surprising

To the editor: Silver Airways thanks Presque Isle, Aroostook County and nearby northern Maine for supporting Silver’s bid to provide nonstop air service between Boston and Presque Isle.

City deserves better passenger treatment

While the city makes a bad call, [United] at the Presque Isle Airport makes one worse. Traveling to Presque Isle due to the death of my grandmother was the nightmare of all nightmares. I thought the worst part of my trip was over after the funeral. I was completely wrong.

Maine needs to create better health care

To the editor: I am a “consumer” of health care with a Medicare Advantage plan. I would much rather be a “patient” like I was in the late 1950s when I birthed my three babies in a four-day stay for each at a local hospital.

Praise for the health care system in Houlton area

To the editor: Recently I was a patient at Houlton Regional Hospital with a serious illness that required emergency room treatment as well as a hospital stay for several days.

On a downhill slide

To the editor: The people we elected to the House of Representatives and Senate, along with the White House, are in turmoil because of one woman’s desire to impeach our president. She wants to leave a legacy that she made history by impeaching President Trump.

Blight impedes real development

I would like to state the following belief of “Farmer” Mark as a general statement: Caribou is losing the battle to attract big retail businesses.

What next?

Now that the farce called impeachment is over, what next?

American Legion Post No. 47 happy to serve

To the Editor: The Saturday, Dec. 14 Wreaths Across America event held at Littleton’s Cemetery was truly a well-organized and respectful tribute to our deceased veterans.

Christmas spells love

To the editor: In 1957 our nation was privileged to see the showing of the movie “The Miracle Worker.” This was a portrayal of the early life of Helen Keller, who was born in 1880 and at 19 months old contracted meningitis that so affected her brain that she came through this fever blind, deaf and mute.
