Last month, both Maine and Nevada did what was in the best interests of their states: They rejected bills that would have enrolled their states in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an unwise effort to override the Electoral College.
There’s an inherent unfairness to forcing many working-class Americans who couldn’t afford to go to college themselves to pay off the loans of those who could.
Vouchers and school choice bring more equity to publicly funded education. They give the poor an opportunity much more equal to their wealthier counterparts in terms of the ability to find and benefit from an educational environment that is right for them.
Republicans believe in personal responsibility for themselves and others. I really like that. Fiscal responsibility is another Republican trait. Private enterprise is another plus for Republicans.
Leftists who run our nation’s public schools love to hide behind the American Psychological Association when it comes to crazy sex ed. So in a recent column I wondered how long it would take for them to push polyamory on the pubertal. Then I learned they already do.
Since 1919, the St. Albans Co-op has been part of the fabric of Vermont. It will be sad to see it go, but we are pleased to see it continue in its new form. On balance, the merger seems to be in the best interest of its farmer-members and of the Vermont farm economy.
Last Wednesday Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders unveiled his latest version of “Medicare for All,” his scheme for single-payer health care. He estimated it could cost up to $40 trillion over 10 years.
Republicans are the adults in the room that can put some sense into an out-of-control situation, and we must win in the 2020 election. If our party rises to the occasion, fields candidates for all offices and meets the call we are hearing for this change, 2020 will bring the needed “red wave.”
This is why I have no tolerance for T.J. Donovan’s failed leadership in calling Vermont’s entire system racist based solely on prison incarceration rates. I speak to our police, and to police in New Hampshire, and Connecticut — they know what I say is true, because they are on the front lines.
Chairman Anthony Roisman of the Public Utility Commission has made it official: Vermont is facing a “Pearl Harbor moment.” We in Vermont must launch a “wartime effort” like the United States did in 1942 to establish dominance over the lurking menace of “climate change.”
I must agree that Gov. Scott does believe that Vermonters are, in fact, redeemable — this is why he supported and signed legislation to rewrite our textbooks for K-12 so that “our underlying culture” can be changed for us.
Vermont’s newest expensive employee is the Executive Director of Racial Equity. She will conduct a review of “systemic racism” in Vermont’s state government, which will undoubtedly confirm the pre-ordained conclusion of those who created this position that racist and bigoted Vermonters are everywhere.
