Issue Position: Working Constructively to Enact Positive Progressive Legislative

Issue Position

Quick Snip: We must not be afraid to step outside the box when looking for innovative legislative avenues to solve our problems. That may include starting over, rather than trying to salvage something that is not working.

The expanded discussion: It is hard to expand upon this point without seeming to go negative concerning our current situation. I can only say that as a MEMBER of the party in power, I would sit at the table making decisions and participating in discussions on the issues impacting Vermonters and N N E residents. Those not in the party sit in the bleachers and watch the action happen, or as in the last session, try to take their ball and go home, just saying NO and avoiding issues. I would intend to do good things at reasonable cost, saving money when possible but making sure our needs and traditions are funded adequately in order to serve Vermonters. IN the game, not throwing peanuts from the bleachers.
