Keelan: Vermont Climate Council mandates will cause ‘outcry and divisiveness’

Suppose these mandates are forced upon Vermonters — home, business, nonprofits, municipalities, schools, and rental apartment owners. The outcry and divisiveness will be far greater than Vermont experienced when Act 60 or civil unions came into existence.

Tom Evslin: We must take precautions now to have a fair election

Do you trust the other side not to cheat? Do you trust hackers of all kinds to stay away? Last time no one knew there would be such widespread open voting until almost the last minute. This time those who want to steal elections have plenty of time to prepare to cheat.

Have we seen progress on Vermont’s infrastructure since ASCE’s last report? Sure, but lots more needs to be done.

Meg Hansen: Steelmanning the right and rejecting historical revisionism

Rather than misrepresenting in order to malign, as Bill Schubart does, I urge the Reader to employ the “steel man” technique and consider the strongest form of the right’s positions.

Op-Ed: Labor unions three years after Janus high court ruling

The irony of Janus is it had little affect on public unions since blue states were able to neutralize it. Although Janus did not apply to private unions, it publicized the political power of unions and voters reacted. Today, the entire south is right to work and a total of 30 states now have right to work laws.

Vermont COVID cases spike to record high despite record numbers of ‘vaccinated’

The COVID vax was never capable of preventing the spread – they are still lying about that – and the jab was made for COVID, not the variants, and has become even more useless as a result. The booster is just more of the same. But they say you need it anyway.

But they say you need it anyway.

Rep. Anne Donahue: We look back on eugenics, slavery in horror — maybe someday abortion, too

The day may come when we express our apology for the disregard of the human lives that are in utero in the same way we did this year for those lives we devalued 70 and 80 years ago in Vermont’s eugenics policies.

Tom Evslin: Does Bernie Sanders oppose vaccine mandates?

If government can’t tell people what to do with their bodies, it can’t tell them they have to be vaccinated. Not even a U.S. senator gets to have it both ways.

McClaughry: Shameless climate misreporting

Here’s an outstanding example of how your government, in this case the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, puts out deliberately misleading or false news about the terrors of climate change.

Julie Moore: Successful climate action will require each of us to do our part

Successful climate action will require each of us — at the individual, local and state level — to do our part to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help prepare Vermont to respond to the impacts that a changing climate will have. The Climate Action Plan will help guide that work.

John Klar: CRT toxicity in Springfield School District

Superintendent McLaughlin is panicking that one school board has bravely decided to have a public discussion about this hateful ideology — which he seeks to dishonestly discredit as “limiting discussion.” In fact, he is trying to control the discussion, to eliminate opposing views to his new orthodoxy.
