To the Editor; After reading the article in the Bangor Daily News on June 16 about Maine towns becoming the owners of the Hampden trash plant, I have one question: Why? As I recall, the trash plant used new technology intended to sort incoming trash into several categories to sell in the recycling market.

Help available through Project Rachel

What counts as ‘pro-life’

To the Editor; Government-sanctioned killing of death-sentence prisoners (capital punishment) – not “pro-life”! Government-sanctioned killing of the enemy in war – not “pro-life”! For people who call themselves Christians, both of these situations should present serious moral dilemmas.
