The committee might find at the end of their research that the small modular nuclear reactors are not the right solution for Vermont, but to not even look into it is inexcusable and negligent.
Springfield’s equity committee is thuggish, deluded and hateful. How much longer will it torment our children and the truth? Their statement is an attack on America as well as Vermont, using lies and a disgusting ideology. This is treason, not “equity.”
