Hot take: I like what Eric Adam's is doing. He's putting Frontline issues in the news, and he's less of a politician than those in the past, like DeBlasio, who paid lip service but did zero. DeBlasio would have buried the busing issue to save democrats face nationally. The fact that Adam's plans to travel to the border, yet it took Biden 2 years, and Kamala still has yet to address the issue, is embarrassing.

Yes. A lot more bullshit policy that supports the decision to jail someone over creating more square footage of HOUSING. You know, that think we desperately need.

Just stop. Nobody should go to jail for this stuff, period. It's housing. I just read about a racist POS who gang attacked a Jewish and got 6 months.
WTF is society doing!!???

Reply to Most corrupt state? - Vermont by saint_of_thieves
As someone who works in municipal infrastructure, this is the biggest load of bullshit. We are one of very few states states doesn't have corruption in construction.
I also worked as a legislative Paige. We are VERY FAR from anything resembling corruption.

He sees a budget shortfall coming and is preparing for that reality. This sounds like a pragmatic move be a realist, rather than the feel good coolaid politicians have been feeding you.

Yep. Enough of the misdirected outrage. This makes me want to take a megaphone to their protest to counter. Fucking morons.

This is the dumbest and most ignorant shit I've ever seen. I've been a vermonter my whole life and witnessed responsible logging practices throughout the entire state. If you support this, you have zero Intel into how was already protect the forest, more than sufficiently.
Stop jumping on the bandwagon without the proper historical info. Vermont used to be 80% clear cut in the early 20th century. Entire mountains have grown back.

Crap article. Great idea. Love it. We absolutely need more public shaming of criminals. In fact, the lack of public shaming coupled with the withholding of criminal identities and mug shots is contributing to the rise of these types of criminals. Especially in an age where people seem increasingly aware of their public and social presence.
