Mermel: Will Bernie secretly bail out Silicon Valley Bank?

We should expect him to be against a federal bailout of SVB or a federally subsidized bank rescue of SVB. A federal bailout of SVB would only benefit the rich with money coming from the middle class, and progressives oppose structural inequalities like that, right?

Keelan: S.5 train wreck has been postponed — temporarily

While S.5’s start has been postponed for two years, my wife and I are considering converting our 200-year-old home and our transportation needs to all-electric. We obtained cost estimates from our electrician and heating contractors, and from Tesla. Here are our discoveries.

Roper: Biomass controversy boils over in Vermont Climate Council

If the result of implementing the Global Warming Solutions Act were to mean causing an electricity shortage and price spike in our most populous city/county, negatively impacting politically favored entities such as Burlington Electric, Vermont Gas and UVM, the GWSA would more than likely cease to be a viable state policy.

Stan Greer: Big Labor-perpetuated school lockdowns’ massive price tag

Removal of teacher union bosses’ government-granted power to codetermine how public schools are run should be the principal objective of education reformers in America. The urgency of this reform has become far greater since the 2020-22 educational catastrophe.

Gov. Phil Scott: Making the most of historic funding requires a clear vision, strategic priorities, pragmatic leadership

Elected officials need to remember that the decisions we make during these volatile and inflationary times have real life consequences on people who can’t carry more financial burden. And because the silent majority are at work, trying to make ends meet, they’re counting on us to protect them and their pocketbooks.

Bill Young: Failures in the VT child protection system demand action

Vermont’s child protection system is in real trouble, as demonstrated in a recent study by the Vermont Parent Representation Center. The problems have only gotten worse in the last five years.

Steve MacDonald: I think it’s time for Vermonters to start a yellow vest movement opposing the clean heat standard

Marches, protests, anti-S.5 events with hundreds of folks in yellow vests. It paints a picture that will travel around the internet and the world. You’ll find advocates and experts in all corners willing to step up and point out why this won’t do what they say at any price.

Roper: Vermont’s mail-in ballot system is not secure

The way our elected election officials don’t seem to care and pretend this isn’t a problem makes me believe that this is not a bug in the system they’ve devised, but a feature.

Paul Dame: The Democrats are dividing

It seems that the “loyalty” that has held their party together is beginning to fray. And this is giving Republicans an opportunity to earn small wins despite a deck stacked against them.

Roper: The Vermont media lost control of the narrative on S.5

They are in the tank for the radical left’s climate agenda. But they lost control of the narrative on S.5 and, adding insult to injury from their perspective perched inside their ivory bubble, they lost it to a bunch of blue-collar woodchucks driving around in fuel trucks.

Rep. Charles Wilson: We really have a one-party system in Vermont

The bottom line is that bills that move through the House may have “good intentions,” but have socialist narratives where the state will control everything — but the cost is passed to the local level and citizens pay.
