Vermont state revenue: What do we want for the new ‘normal’?

Paul Dame: Regarding Liam Madden, Gerald Malloy and the primary election

In the U.S. congressional race, the majority of Republicans wanted to send a conservative woman to Congress. Some 16,000 Republicans voted for a conservative woman, and 10,700 did not. The problem was that Anya and Ericka split the conservative vote too evenly.
