A collection of Letters to the Editor from Biddeford Gazette readers
LETTER | Ignoring harbormaster input does not serve Biddeford’s interest
"A report from UNE pier engineers to city of Biddeford clearly shows UNE’s intent to ignore our local harbormaster’s input on pier location. It does so by showing that all other pier permits will be secured before a permit from Biddeford itself.
LETTER | Anonymous writer attacks anonymous UNE critics
"Nothing says “clarity, consistency, and transparency” quite like a Yahoo account with a mysterious name, a lengthy distribution list, and another installment of allegations, rumors, speculation, innuendo, and recycled grievances dating back nearly a decade."
OPINION | Recent story seemed unnecessarily critical
We cannot expect a new mayor and city council to fix problems that have existed in Biddeford for years -- in just six months
LETTER | Biddeford is on the right track with UNE
"In the last decade certain processes have been sloppy. Our elected officials are now determined to clean it all up, not an easy task."
OPINION | Gazette repeated ‘false narratives,’ further eroding public discourse about UNE
The Biddeford Gazette’s May 17 article, “UNE describes their relationship with Biddeford as ‘broken,’” makes several factual errors and perpetuates false narratives about the proposed research pier.
LETTER | Biddeford needs to face financial reality
"For many families in Biddeford, the financial reality is no longer theoretical. Property taxes continue to rise while wages, retirement income, and household purchasing power struggle to keep pace. "

LETTER | Community is worth the investment
Editor: As a taxpayer on a fixed income who has paid into this system for years, I understand the pressure people are feeling. Rising costs are real. But I’m also the president of a very small, all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing Biddeford’s history and culture, and I think this conversation is missing something … Continue reading LETTER | Community is worth the investment
