Claiming that it’s part of an effort to mitigate a (non-existent) housing ‘crisis’, Governor Ayotte has signed every single housing bill that made it to her desk, including the very damaging HB577, which eradicates the right of towns to create single-family zones. We are now no better than California. Despite being sent our petition daily … Read more

America isn’t the only one celebrating its 250th anniversary. It’s Vermont’s birthday, and to properly mark and market the occasion, they made a series of mistakes that ended with the uninspiring crap featured above. “Governor Phil Scott created the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission through Executive Order in December 2020.” From a press release following the Executive order. … Read more
