Just a note specific to today; it was as much ice as it was snow. It also appears to have come as a complete surprise to all Upper Valley road crew as the roads were primarily unplowed and untreated.

Sorry if I misunderstood your post. Now that you’ve expanded your point I understand what you were saying and totally agree with you. We need a fundamental change in our country, but I don’t see it happening any time soon.

We need a way to remove a Sheriff who has shown themselves to the public as unfit for office. That's my opinion. by RamaSchneider
First, you have to remember that we have a part time legislature with a full time job to do. Second someone has to investigate the allegations and develop charges. That alone is a significant amount of work. Then the House has to vote to impeach. After that the senate has to hold a trial. All of this has to happen while still conducting the other business before the legislature. So yeah, it’s a slow, laborious process.

Yes, it’s called capitalism. Capitalism and capitalists only care about profit and don’t care about people or the wellbeing of our country.

$15 per hour is $1.82 below the living wage in VT for a single person. It is $18.46 below the living wage for a single parent with one child. Your employer needs to pay better if they expect to hire someone anytime soon. Here’s the data if you want to share it with them: https://livingwage.mit.edu/states/50

This. And, I believe the only way currently to remove a Sheriff is by legislative impeachment, a slow laborious process. The reason we are seeing so much corruption and abuse of office among sheriffs is due to lack of oversight and accountability. I fully support legislation to curb this abuse of office

Alternative idea, after we tax hell, out of second homes is to renovate empty motels in affordable housing. I know this is already happening in my area, but when I drive around I see a lot of out of business and empty motels

First, I don't find her extreme at all. I'd rather have a feisty governor than a conservative play it safe governor. How are we ever going make and realize change if we just cling to the status quo? We need Brenda Siegels to shake things up and make us think. Also, don't you think that she might take a different approach from a sit-in on an issue of concern if she were governor? The position of governor would afford her a strong voice that might not need to resort to activism. On the other hand if, even with that stronger voice, she was still not being heard and she took an activist approach, I would applaud that. We need change in this country and we need our representatives to be willing to stand up, speak out, and take action.

Brenda Siegel is hardly a shit candidate. She lacks name recognition and did not receive the support she deserved from her party.
