Civic engagement and voter participation is good — but it should be preceded by citizenship. The Senate’s decision sets up a slippery slope — should non-citizens be allowed to vote for state legislative positions? For governor? For Congress? For president?
Illegal aliens don’t have a right to be in the country, let alone have representation in Congress. Aliens who are here legally also have no right to representation in Congress and are barred by federal and state laws from voting. Including them, particularly illegal aliens, in apportionment is fundamentally unfair to citizens.
This bill will provide health care for illegal aliens who are attracted to Vermont by these buttery public offerings. But let us analyze this silly bill, employing the critical thought that is so visibly absent from our so-called leadership.

Parents don’t need more child care so they can pick up more hours at work. Parents need better paying jobs and lower taxes so that they can provide for their families with one parent working 40 hours a week, instead of both parents combined working 80 hours a week.

Increasingly, states are lifting or modifying mask mandates. The following 14 states, in alphabetical order, had mask orders but have lifted them.
The truth is that should S.15 become law, Vermont would have no effective security mechanisms to verify the validity of an absentee ballot. Election officials at the state and local levels admit that they have no way to verify who actually filled out an absentee ballot.
