Don't forget just-cause evictions in Burlington and the rental registry, both of which were supposed to address this problem.

The entire country descends further into crisis by the day, and we continue to elect a governor who, by his own admission in the last debate, doesn't have any new ideas; he wants to continue what he's been doing because he says it's working. Everyone agrees the status quo is fucked, but most people are going to vote for the personification of the status quo for governor. I don't understand.

I was out last election and a younger guy brought him up. I asked what he thought about Scott. He said, "He's a great guy! He took us out in his limo to a game!" "Wow, yeah, very cool, so what do you think of his platform?" "Huh? He's great, really nice, great guy", "What does he stand for and how does that affect you and your family?" "Huh? I don't think he has a platform. I don't want to talk to you anymore".

Say what you will about Phil Scott, but I can almost certainly guarantee he doesn't travel in a limo.
