Good afternoon and, while I'm at it, welcome to spring. 

We published a host of golden columns and op-eds last week, on everything from Maine's tribal heritage and what the redesign of the PMA might do to Portland's Arts District to wrangling over the city budget and the challenges our public spaces pose to people in wheelchairs.  

Editorials hit on last week's State of the Tribes address, federal guidance on PFAS in our drinking water and the incredible shame that is youth homelessness. My Sunday column originated with a trip to the Maine Irish Heritage Center.

All of that and more linked below.
