What is one part of Vermont’s economy or cost of living that needs greater attention from elected officials?: “Too much money is being spent on privatization of services at high costs and money funneled into nonprofits with little accountability to the taxpayers. We need a "back to basics" approach on expenditures to provide essential services to Vermonters that is within our means.”
“No. We have gone down the consolidation path before - with the assurance that it would help contain costs, bring efficiency, and increase educational outcomes.”
“No. The system is not working now. I do not believe giving state level bureacracies even more control will improve matters. It will only worsen them.”
