Vermont Legislative Republicans have been unified against this bill because we believe it makes our state less affordable — not more — and that the structure of this particular bill is fatally flawed.
“Efforts at guilt by association seek to tarnish not just me, but all of our accomplished and brave agripublican candidates, and our exceptional policy ideas.”
It’s my belief the state budget should not grow any faster than people’s paychecks. Our goal should be to do our work in ways that help Vermonters keep more of what they earn, making it easier — not harder — for every family to live a secure and stable life.
Even though we’re facing a more than $70 million budget gap, Vermont’s Democrat legislators want their own pay raised, and for you to foot the bill.

Protection of civil liberties and civil rights is the most fundamental of all political values in American society.

At least one legislator is willing to admit it: vehicle feebates are carbon taxes. Worse, he admits feebates may not even stay in Vermont. They could end up in the pockets of out-of-state billionaires funding green energy.
Patricia was six-months pregnant with twins, and when she woke up in the hospital she was told both had been killed. In most states, the offender could be charged with homicide. But not in Vermont.
In politics, language is central — the words we use, what they mean, and what we want them to mean. The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles explains how the left is a master of language manipulation. Liberals often win political victories by redefining words and rewiring our brains.
He said that school choice and apprenticeship programs are part of the answer to help students rise above their circumstances to pursue an education and a productive place in society.
