A sadder place to live

On Sept. 27, approximately 28 “Voter ID for ME” signs were legally placed in Harpswell. As of this writing, almost all of them have been defaced with swastikas or black marker changing the number in Question 1 to an 8. After the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office was notified, most of the swastika signs were removed.

I cannot imagine living in a town where this is happening. The people responsible for this vandalism are obviously disturbed. Their actions say more about them than they do about Voter ID for ME.

Whoever did this is not winning, but they’ve made Harpswell a sadder place to live.

Greater risk of water shortages

I read with interest the article "More wells running dry as drought grips Harpswell." Once-reliable wells are running dry and water storage systems are becoming more prevalent as "property owners run out of other options." Harpswell's geology makes wells harder to drill and more likely to run dry everywhere, especially near the shore.
