MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • February 26, 2023
We have really pressing problems: lack of housing; unaffordable heat and electricity; escalating grocery bills; degraded farmlands and way-too-rapidly changing weather (call it climate) that threatens dairy herds, blueberry crops, even clams. Leave our state flag alone and please don’t take away our chickadee license plate. If Maine lawmakers need to make their mark, how about a new state song? Everyone loves a chickadee, but who can hum our state ditty? ~ Martha C. Frink, Bremen
