I read, so far just skimmed, your article on the 9/11 truth movement (see "Inside the 9/11 Truth Movement," by Deirdre Fulton, September 9). One assertion that I find questionable is the belief that there are only a "dozen" or so truthers in Maine. I am a public-access producer of a show called News & Blues which came about because of my skepticism of the official narrative, almost 10 years ago. My show can be seen on Portland's Community Television Network channel 5 , Hollis/Buxton's Saco River TV, and Gorham's GoCat public-access channel. Last week I produced a 9/11 "special" which includes the Ed Asner hosted clip from the Architects and Engineers group. After 10 years of "connecting the dots," having started with the 9/11 event, I can tell you that I am convinced that we are being covertly steered into a one world government/dictatorship. The signs have been growing for years, and I feel, will soon reach that "critical mass" of believers.

- Governor, budget-cut thyself
Governor LePage is focused on making deep cuts to the state's budget (see "Down Again," by Al Diamon, April 1). So much so, that he is willing to bring the government to a halt. It is certainly difficult to criticize his determination.
