Re-elect Becca White

Dear Editor,

I am excited to support Becca White in her bid for re-election as one of our Vermont State Senators.  

She has been dedicated to serving the people of Vermont for 10 years (four years on the Hartford Select Board, four years as a State Representative, and these last two years in the State Senate).  While serving in the house, she worked effectively on modernizing the transportation systems and was an active member of the Climate Solutions Caucus. She is now co-chair of the Climate Solutions Caucus in the senate, serves on the Senate Natural Resources & Energy Committee, and is the communications director for the Senate Democratic Caucus. 

I am proud to support someone so committed to our shared belief that everyone has a right to health care, affordable housing, childcare, public education and is so committed to protecting our environment. 

Becca White is following in the footsteps of her district-mate, Senator Alison Clarkson, in her commitment to being accessible to her constituents. She is always willing to have a conversation with her fellow Vermonters and hear about the issues that are most important to them to effectively represent our community in Montpelier. 

Please join me in voting for White, Clarkson, and their Democratic teammate Joe Major in the general election on or before Nov. 5!

Sue Schiller,

Norwich

Education cuts hurt the economy, won’t lower taxes

Dear Editor, The debate over H.454 might seem irrelevant to Vermonters without children in school. Still, its impact stretches far beyond education—it threatens our economy, property values, and long-term tax stability. Although school consolidation and cost containment may appear fiscally responsible, both the Senate’s and the governor’s proposals provide only short-term budgetary solutions rather than…
