Milk cows! Not taxpayers! 

Dear Editor,

I am a delivery driver and service technician for a home heating company. The candidates on the ballot who will not destroy the home heat industry, which my coworkers and I rely upon to support our families in Vermont, are Republicans. The candidates on the ballot who will not increase our home heating fuel taxes are Republicans. The candidates on the ballot that will not raise education property taxes by double-digit percentages next year are Republicans.

Which candidates will find solutions to address the opioid epidemic, the tragedy of homelessness in Vermont, an increased crime rate, and the unaffordable cost of living? Which candidates will preserve Vermont’s natural environment instead of shilling for the corporate lobbyists in the alternative energy industry?  It won’t be the Democrats. The rampant inequality of living standards serves their interests.

I will be voting for every Vermont Republican on the ballot. Windsor County Republicans will help Governor Phil Scott slam the brakes on the supermajority’s agenda. 

Stu Lindberg, 

Cavendish
