The Vermont Legislature went full tilt progressive agenda this session
The session is over in a couple of weeks but the legislature didn't let any grass grow under their feet. From animal rights to the right to die to cutting propane fees to single payer health care, to green initiatives to the national popular vote to unionizing day care workers to marijuana dispensaries- and more. The dems and progressives were feeling their oats now that Vermont finally has a liberal dem guv.

The repubs are more discouraged than ever. Poor things.

It's been fun to watch.

That is my hope.

2. Hooray!
Does this mean the 'Pugs don't have their crooked voting machines in place up there?

8. people often say that but they don't do it.
And it is a very nice place to live- if you can deal with winter.
