Par for the course. No wonder people think elections are rigged. When the people in the cart outnumber those pulling it...

I imagine Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia because it was less communistic than Vermont.

Mr. Roper, as long as they have a supermajority, it is ALL a farce. There is no government by the people, for the people... and it is not the government that shall perish from this earth, but the people themselves. This current state of affairs in our state government is unsustainable, unmanageable and unconscionable. You should check out Emily Carris-Duncan who is a candidate for Windham 6. And yet... not one Republican or Independent has stood up to oppose the "blob". I can't. I can't serve. But no one? Out of 4,370 residents?

We are ripe for a big change but lack the people who give a shit.
