Re: “It's Official: Zuckerman Challenges Scott for Governor of Vermont”
Since he's been in office the cost of living in relation to income has ballooned, housing costs have escalated and housing availability has become scarce, taxes have risen significantly, government has greatly expanded, and health care insurance has become much more expensive.
Now we should reward with the chief executive position because he has it all figured out? Not me.

Re: “Tim Ashe to Run for Lieutenant Governor of Vermont”
If we end up with Progressives in the top two offices then it's over, we will be East California and no turning back. This election is crucial.

Re: “AG Donovan: Vermont Rejected Purdue Pharma Settlement Offer”
Don't put the responsibility on the doctors or the patients who abused them. Why don't the legislators just ban the sale of prescribed opioids? Problem solved, right?

Re: “Vermont Democratic Party Staffer Ousted Over Alleged Embezzlement”
Donovan, a Democrat, said hed learned of the allegations two weeks ago. My reaction was, You should probably call law enforcement.
That he is our AG should make Vermonters feel proud. You should probably call law enforcement. Pitiful.

Re: “Scott Signs Bill Hiking Legal Smoking Age to 21”
The progressive governor joined his fellow progressives once again. I am anti-smoking personally but the government has no right to restrict a legal adult's freedom for three years. The nanny state forces its will again.

Re: “Super Trooper: Time on 'the Road' Shapes Rep. Nader Hashim's Views”
"When Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, Hashim decided to run for office, he said, "to push back against the vitriol and the draconian policies" of Trump's administration." This is the type of leadership we are up against. Apparently he had no problem with the lies, race baiting, and the lack of concern for civility and our Constitution in the Obama administration.

Re: “Scott Asks for Task Force to Design Universal Afterschool Program”
There is a simple way to implement such a plan that doesn't cost taxpayers anything. Have people on assistance give back by doing volunteer work in some capacity. It will grow to a very encompassing program where adults and children participate together, foster increased self-confidence and sense of purpose, and keep children happy and busy.
Politicians won't like it because it doesn't cost taxpayers.
