The irony being most people who are conservative in Vermont are the ones that are gonna be hurt the most from Vermont’s low wages. That and young people, most liberal people in Vermont are upper middle class and don’t rely on the minimum wage. That’s not to say some very wealthy people also vote for them. Just pointing out the massive Con that is poor ignorant people voting conservative when that party cares zero about their needs and quality of life.

Their governor vetoed a minimum wage increase. I voted for Siegel but we all know Sleazy Phil is going to keep on regardless.

The opposing view would be that progressive policies have led to vermont being a state that only the rich and large corporations can afford.

The states largest employer is the state and there is a vacuum of money leaving the state in retirement funds.

Less regulations would allow for actual starter homes and density building that is not subsidized by the state.
