I'd say firstly, share this with as many people as possible. Secondly, the people who proposed this should never hold office again. I know many locals are in despair with state politics and no longer participate. That must change. The legislators who sponsored this bill obviously have a god complex, but Vermonters need to control our own destiny.

Contact all sponsors respectfully and tell them, "You and your families will no longer be voting for them." Also, 3 local legislators may have sponsored this, but 5 out of the 8 sponsors are people who moved here and ran for office. We need to consider increased residency limitations before you can run for office and the increasingly popular idea of a state electoral college so Chittenden County alone won't make rules for a widely diverse state.
