u/AllyEmmie is likely referring to the fact that the "social programs" you complain about are largely, if not entirely, block funded by federal money, not VT tax money.

"Why would anyone blame a parent that wants a voucher (currently available in sending towns and reciprocal districts) for an alternative to a public school that isn’t a fit for their child?"

Because I don't want to pay for some stranger's kid to attend a religious school any more than religious people want to see their tax money going to support things they morally oppose.

The "Vermont Way" to turn left seems to be an abrupt jerk of the wheel to the right first. Next, you slowly easy yourself into the left hand turn like an old man settling into his favorite recliner. If you complete the turn going more than 15 mph on a road posted at 45 mph, you're doing it all wrong.

Greatest snowstorm ever. I skied Mad River Glen for a $14 lift ticket. Valentine’s Day special. The snow under the single chair was armpit deep. After the lift closed I came back to my car and the snow was all the way up to the windows. Must have been almost a four foot storm.

I heard it was Terror Lake.

Minimum wage veto. Paid family leave veto. Pension veto.

I literally can’t name a single solution to a societal problem that VT faces that he’s proposed.

Scott appointed the prosecutor (Sarah George) who dismissed the case against the cleaver wielding psychopath.

Well, all of us, except for people who make minimum wage or for people who need family leave, or who rely on their state pension in retirement.

I think you’d have a commerce clause problem with some of that.

My own suggestions: end 5 acre zoning and eliminate Use Value Appraisal program (current use) eligibility for anybody who is not really a farmer or a forester.

What should the legislature be doing differently?

Can’t wait to see him lose then say the election was stolen.

Apocrypha.

And what’s your point, anyway?

Here is the good ol USA I have an appointment next week that took me six months to get, and I’m on their “priority list” because of my previous diagnosis.

All the shit for profit healthcare boosters say will happen with single payer already happens with the current system.

So, I’m not convinced. Even if you do follow other subs. Dummy.

Marry a Canadian!

I think my reply was at least as serious as yours.

Sounds like a good argument for UBI and guaranteed housing. Thanks. I’ll be sure to credit you.

Scott’s nice guy routine is so tired.

To paraphrase, if you are sitting around a table with four assholes, you just might be the fifth one.

Phil Scott vetoed a minimum wage increase.

A farm where they grew entitlement, apparently.

Then how would they know they can go fuck themselves?

Somebody needs to tell them. Often and in no uncertain terms.

Is this Ken M?

It doesn’t matter what you realize; it only matters how you vote.

Ridiculous that the truck was literally within sight of VSP HQ in the Winooski River for all this time.I guess if you want the VSP to really look for a vehicle you need to tell them there was a little bit of weed hidden somewhere inside it.
