Man-made global warming is not settled science. I believe it is a hoax, perpetuated by scientists who get millions of taxpayers’ dollars in grants to promote that hoax. I have heard evidence that the Earth has shown no warming during the past 18 years, and global temperature changes have not been tied to any man-made […]

G. Mathews: Elect a new, young person
I agree with Trudy Jacqmin’s letter (Sept. 12) that John Cleveland should “refund the quarter of a million dollars he has over-billed Poland since 2006.” I am ashamed of his use of political connections to line his own pocket. It is definitely time for a change. It is time to get rid of all those […]

G. Mathews: New ideas, new leadership needed
In the Sun Journal story, “Poland board surprised by hefty bill” (July 16), John Cleveland overcharged the taxpayers of Poland by 80 percent over budget. I can understand why taxpayers of Poland could be outraged by his action. I would not normally worry about Poland town problems, since I live in Auburn, but Cleveland is […]

P. Roy: Mathews had it wrong
I read the letter to the editor from George Mathews (May 9) and just want to say that I disagree. Perhaps Mathews watches too much of his news on the Fox network. Mathews wrote that the U.S. is in debt, but he was wrong about why. President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney […]

In rebuttal, G. Mathews: Job creation, not welfare expansion
This is in response to Laurie Kane-Lewis’ guest column, “Embrace opportunity to expand MaineCare” (April 30). Here we go again. Another month, another writer stating what a wonderful idea it is to add 70,000 able-bodied Mainers to the state’s welfare system. Medicaid (MaineCare) was intended as a safety net for the truly needy, not as […]

G. Mathews: Michaud too long in Washington
Mike Michaud’s campaign plan for governor, as presented in the Sun Journal Feb. 20, shows me that he has been in Washington too long and has lost touch with real Mainers’ problems. He has learned how to borrow and spend, spend, spend. He has voted for the billions spent on Obamacare, the stimulus and bailout […]

P. Clifford: Mathews’ letter made sense
This is in response to the letter from George Mathews, printed Jan. 23. He offered a rebuttal to the Sun Journal editorial printed Jan. 19 that favored the expansion of Medicaid in Maine. The Sun Journal editorial was the usual progressive opinion, but Mathews offered many great ideas that made a lot more sense than […]

In rebuttal, G. Mathews: Must think long term
This is in response to the Jan. 19 editorial, “Medicaid expansion will save us money.” I read that headline and said to myself, this doesn’t make sense. If expanding welfare to an additional 70,000 able-bodied young adults, for whom Medicaid was never intended, will save us money, just think of all the money we could […]

In rebuttal, George Mathews: Man-made warming a political hoax
I write this in response to Hubert Kauffman’s guest column, “How can people deny climate change?” (Aug. 18). I believe that man-made global warming is a political hoax. Earth’s climate is always changing, otherwise, Maine would still be under half a mile of ice, or there would still be tropical jungles in Alaska. The question […]
