Letters to the Editor

End the insanity

To the editor: Let’s clear up what a petition for recall is. The petition, first and foremost, does not remove a sitting councilor from the dais. 1,200 signatures of qualified Caribou electors is what it takes to get the recall on the ballot.

Playing sandbox politics

To the editor: I was totally disgusted with Joan Theriault’s letter to the editor this week. Sadly, I agree with other people that it is past time for Theriault to resign from the city council and only play these sandbox politics in her own back yard.

In support of Harnish

To the editor: I’ve always considered it my unwritten rule to never involve myself in politics. Now it appears that I’ve broken my own rule, and with pleasure.

Collins gets my vote

To the editor: Through Senator Collins’ leadership Maine veterans have gained a powerful voice in Washington, ensuring we have a strong advocate for veterans’ issues. Now more than ever we need Susan’s continued leadership. As a veteran from Caribou, I am proud to say that Susan is my senator.

In support of Bushey

To the editor: After having served in the Maine House of Representatives, I am pleased to put my support behind Ashland native Kevin Bushey for District 151. He has the tenacity and levelheadedness to bear down and face the significant challenges that will be before the 130th Maine State Legislature.

Where is that 1 mil decrease hiding?

To the editor: Don’t blame the new councilors next year for the tax increase you’re going to get. They will just be trying to clean up the mess from a few that are there now.

Vote for integrity

To the editor: More vulgar postings by Councilor Doug Morrell bashing the Public Works Department and others have appeared on Facebook lately. What is wrong with this picture?

New guys on the block

To the editor: Back in January, during the city council’s organizational meeting, council failed to take action on charter items 2.01/2.06.

The ethics of PAC money

To the editor: The Maine Ethics Commission website defines a leadership political action committee as “a political fundraising committee led by a member of the Maine State Legislature;

Signs of our times

To the editor: As I drive around our city of Presque Isle I see so many signs both large and small on some of our councilpersons’ property. I am wondering if all of our councilpersons are only representing the party they have posted on their properties.

Keep Carpenter in the Maine Senate

To the editor: Aroostook and Northern Penobscot residents have the good fortune to be represented by Michael Carpenter in the Maine Senate. Mike treats all people with respect, dignity and kindness.

Senate Race

To the Editor: As a registered Independent, I vote according to whom I feel is the best candidate and not the political party. This my personal experience with Susan Collins and her staff.

Experience and integrity matter

To the editor: We are writing in support of Mike Carpenter for the Maine Senate. A man of experience and insight, integrity and empathy, wisdom and bipartisanship, Carpenter stands in contrast to his opponent, Harold Stewart, a young man well on his way preparing to be a career politician and demonstrating a commitment to Trump party-line policies and practices that favor the elite, and do the bidding of monied interests, regardless of potentially harmful effects on ordinary Mainers.

Another voice of support

To the editor: I wish to thank citizens Norma Milton and Freeman Cote for their public support of Councilor Doug Morrell and I wish to join their ranks.

Harnish for health care

To the editor: The COVID-19 pandemic has again highlighted the need for affordable health care for everyone.

Heads above water

To the editor: Upon receiving the notice from the Presque Isle Utilities District I begin to wonder, how we will keep our heads above water?

Supporting Caribou city councilor

To the editor: I am saddened to read in the Aroostook Republican that five citizens are seeking to recall Caribou city councilor Doug Morrell. Why weren’t the citizens identified? Are our votes for Doug meaningless?

Change is needed for health care

To the editor: The song “You Are My Sunshine” is a song we sang to our young son, William. One that he grew up to love. Tragically, on Aug. 23, our sunshine was taken away at the age of 45 after suffering a pulmonary embolism.
