ROPER: Heads Unions Win, Tails You Lose

When Vermonters vote this November (or, more accurately, when Vermonters vote at some point between September 24th and November 3rd during our ludicrous election-month-and-a-half), we will have to decide whether or not to pass yet another constitutional amendment, this one called Proposition 3, or “The Right to Collectively Bargain.” Just going to say up front, … Read more
