The pipeline is so thin and empty in #VT that two candidates who have never held elected office are the front runners to challenge #PhilScott for Governor, this year, AGAIN.

This is politically unacceptable. We should not and cannot have people who have never been elected to even a minor municipal office presuming to run for the highest executive office in the state.

Good governance is a serious endeavor and requires people with vision, values, and professional expertise in public service.

And I just got an unsolicited text from #Vermont #Democrat #AmandaJanoo asking for money. Her first contact with me. She's running to unseat governor #PhilScott and has never held public office before. She was also apparently never taught any manners. What the fuck? #VTPol

“I don’t think our guard should be used against our own people. I don’t think the military should be used against our own people. In fact, it’s unconstitutional. Unless, of course, there’s an insurrection, much like we saw Jan. 6 a few years ago.” —#Vermont #Republican Governor #PhilScott

Gov. Phil Scott says Trump’s national guard deployments are unconstitutional 

Vermont’s Republican governor also said he would be at “the forefront” of people defending Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker should the president make good on a social media threat to arrest Pritzker.

#PhilScott, you are such a putz. https://vtdigger.org/2025/05/13/in-executive-order-gov-phil-scott-pauses-electric-vehicle-sale-mandates/ #Vermont #EVs
In executive order, Gov. Phil Scott pauses electric vehicle sale mandates

The requirements would have mandated dealers sell an increasing percentage of electric vehicles starting with model year 2026, ultimately banning the sale of new gas-powered passenger cars by 2035.

Just called #PhilScott's office and left a message sharing my outrage at his complete silence regarding the kidnapping of #MohsenMadawi. What a fucking coward our governor is. #Vermont

Apparently #PhilScott's continued silence about the new regime is consent. Fucker. 😡 #Vermont https://vtdigger.org/2025/04/07/vermont-agency-of-education-asks-school-districts-to-certify-compliance-with-trump-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-ban/
Vermont Agency of Education asks school districts to report compliance with President Trump’s DEI ban

Education Secretary Zoie Saunders sent a letter on Friday requesting school district leaders respond in 10 days. Federal guidance argues schools have used diversity programs, “social-emotional” learning and “culturally responsive” teaching to discriminate against students.

And #Vermont governor #PhilScott's #education bill is now out. Without dealing with health insurance costs, this remains fantasyland as far as supporting #schools. And I still hate that funding is tied to property taxes.

Also, the minimum class size part is ominous. Our town school doesn't have enough kids to make those minimums. Consolidation is obviously in the mix, which I'm totally fine with.

Gov. Phil Scott’s ‘education transformation’ bill hits the Legislature, all 176 pages of it

Now in bill form, the proposal sets minimum class sizes, caps spending next year, and significantly restricts which private schools are eligible to receive public money.

"REPUBLICAN" UNITY
Mastodon Post

It was great to catch the characteristic insincerity of "Republicans" talking about how unified their party is, without any acknowledgment of those who sat out the convention because of the "Republican" Party's official criminal, Donald Trump.

It's just that those who did go to the convention - the Trump Or Else! crowd - the only "Republicans" who count - were unified.

This afternoon in our local radio news. we heard Vermont Republican governor, Phil Scott, say he would not be voting for Trump. He seems to be somewhere outside Trump Or Else! unity.
