It’s Time to G.E.T. R.E.A.L. About Vermont’s Future
Our state is facing multiple crises, mostly self-inflicted, the result of policies enacted by a Democrat supermajority made up of activists who are either out of touch with the real needs of Vermonters or are too wrapped up in their own ideology to care.
