John P. Dionne Criticizes Senator Susan Collins in Op-Ed

John P. Dionne published an op-ed accusing Senator Susan Collins of failing to protect civic institutions and address climate change.

John P. Dionne, a retired facility manager from Bangor, Maine, published an op-ed criticizing U.S. Senator Susan Collins for failing the United States. Dionne argues that while Collins may have provided some benefits to Maine, she failed to protect civic institutions, ensure equal opportunity for women, and regulate big business and campaign contributions.

Dionne specifically cites the senator's failure to address climate change, referencing a recent disaster in Nepal that killed over 1,400 people. He also claims she has been unable to curb a global culture of war.

Concluding that the influence of the senator has diminished, Dionne calls for new leadership to replace Collins and other politicians from both parties to implement corrective action over the next decade.
