Forty years ago, give or take, the State of Maine created a program whose purpose was to create a slush fund to provide legal services to people who could not afford them.

August 11, 2024 Ray Cardello

I was reviewing the headlines of the Maine newspapers this week, and two of them leaped off the screen at me because they were proof that the politicians in charge do not know what is happening.

At last count, over 200 illegal Chinese marijuana “farms” were operating in the Pine Tree State. These are not your conventional salt-of-the-earth farms.

July 15, 2024May 28, 2024 Op-Ed

Who will stand up for the people and the oceans? Who will show up for us? There is not enough data on what will become of our fragile Gulf of Maine if this is allowed.

Wake Up Maine Democrats, This Is Not Your Parent’s Party

July 15, 2024April 14, 2024 Ray Cardello

It is not easy, and it may be very uncomfortable, to change your political affiliation because you finally realize that it is not you who is leaving the Party, but the Party has left you.

July 15, 2024February 26, 2024 Ray Cardello
