Remembering Bill Thomas

Dear Editor,

I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the William Thomas family of Rutland Town.

Bill Thomas was a long time servant of the town who wore many hats over the years. His hard work on the Select Board and his dedication on the School Board will be remembered.

When Thomas Dairy closed in late 2020, I sponsored aHouse and Senate resolution honoring the Thomas family for their 99 years in the dairy business. I want to thank the entire Rutland County delegation for signing on to this resolution. Last Friday, I met with Perry Thomas and presented him with this resolution.

Bill Thomas will be remembered as a humble public servant of Rutland Town.

Rest in peace, Bill.

State Rep. Thomas Terenzini, Rutland

Dear Editor, (In response to Matthew Cecere’s commentary, “The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could give Vermont voters more impact”). I’m amazed to see an educator come out in favor of such a ridiculous concept, and to also be in favor of abolishing the Electoral College. No, the Electoral College is not perfect. But, it is…
