I am absolutely disgusted that all three of #Brattleboro's #VTHouse delegation voted for this bill that guts what few tenant protections #VT law provides, especially at this time in history, with our communty suffering a severe #housing shortage and #homelessness crisis.

Emilie Kornheiser, Molly Burke, and Ian Goodnow, *shame on you*!

#Vermonters, if you value sanity, please contact your #VTSenate and urge them to vote against H.772. #VTpol #VTpoli

If there is one thing that I have learned about #politics from my involvement in politics as an elected and appointed official in #Vermont, it's that the most stark distinction between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives almost invariably presume to speak for everyone, and liberals are almost always careful not to pretend they speak for others.

Conservativism values conformity; Liberalism values diversity.

RE: https://animalofthings.com/leash-laws-in-vermont/

No dog should ever be off a leash when not on the owner's private property, and then only when the property is sufficiently fenced and no one else is present, unless the owner first receives consent from visitors to unleash the animal. Dogs don't belong in public, unless they are certified service animals. Your desire for animal companionship does not supercede my right to be free from molestation or attack. #Vermont #VTpol #VTpoli #PeopleFirst

#Vermont needs to understand that taxing fossil fuel providers is not a viable means of altering Vermonters' consumption patterns.

What #VT should do is tax fossil fuel consumption directly.

Act 18, the Affordable Heat Act, is a morass and should be repealed and replaced with a direct fuel tax.

Act 122, the Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program, is equally unworkable, if not moreso, and will never produce the desired results, if it even survives judicial scrutiny.

A friend asked me at Town Meeting why there were armed police present. She felt intimidated by the police presence. I pointed out to her that they were there to protect us, and I meant that seriously.

One of the foundational rules of our democracy is that the people are forbidden to bring weapons to a polling place (13 VSA §4027, 17 V.S.A. § 2510), and a #TownMeeting in #Vermont #VT law qualifies. Furthermore, our Town Meeting takes place at #Brattleboro Union High School … #VTpol #VTpoli

My speech regarding the #Brattleboro #Vermont #VT Human Services budget, at #TownMeeting 2026, from 5:20:07 through 5:24:18. My actual motion to amend Article 8 to raise the Human Services budget from $1 back to the originally allocated $482,665, is at 5:53:25, which after some confusion over the wording, eventually passed 144-101. The vote is at 6:19:56. #VTpol #VTpoli
