PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 17, 2025
Gorham is home to one of southern Maine’s most robust and thriving deer herds, but our town officials, if allowed to continue on their present track, are pushing the entire herd into extinction. The deer herd in the Narragansett Game Sanctuary has been protected by state law since 1927, but our present crop of elected and appointed officials seem hell-bent on sidestepping the law’s protections and killing off the herd by systematically destroying its habitat. Rezonings have then been followed by massive development proposals. ~ Roger Brown, Gorham
