I love how a “school choice” bill actually is limiting school choice. As long as a school agrees to the anti-discrimination policies they should be able to accept students and taxpayer funds. But in this bill we are even limiting public dollars to public schools. Currently, as a sending town my kids can go to any public school (actually all Vt students have this option), this bill would limit them to 3 options… for what purpose? Seems like a lack of thought and reasoning on Rep Hardy’s part.

Lol… look at a Facebook group? And I suppose you think Reddit is a good indication of political ideologies too people’s opinions too…

You forgot about right leaning independents/centrist, which would make that 18% if the population more of a fringe group. Kind of like progressives don’t represent all democrats…

A.) you need to meet more republicans, or even just look at what the Republican members of the legislature do for a living.

B.) equating manual labor to being poor or white is offensive and ignorant 🤦‍♂️

C.) what percentage of POC work manual labor jobs or are poor in Vt? What % of white people? I don’t think your assertion is even remotely close to being accurate.

You can’t statistically get above 80% with out a majority of republicans and right leaning Independents voting for prop 5 and clearly that makes them different from many of their national colleagues 🤷🏼‍♂️.

So 18% of the state is crazy republicans… that leaves a whole lot of normal republicans in addition to right leaning independents that voted for prop 5 and weren’t “outnumbered.”

I don’t think being a truck mechanic is a qualification for political science. It clearly hasn’t helped with understanding how republicans that voted for prop 5 aren’t the same as national republicans 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t think VT republicans are much like national republicans at all. I think many republicans voted for prop 5, which means when it comes to social issues they aren’t outnumbered, they are part of the majority 🤷🏼‍♂️.

I don’t know what your profession has to do with anything…

Hahahahhaha, I provide a source to Govt data to answer a question and it gets downvoted by the collective because it doesn’t fit the hive mind think.

I never said anything about a daily record, in fact I said you wouldn’t find those figures BECAUSE it changes daily. If you wanted to look at annual snowpack (which is what it seemed you were wondering about) you’d need to average it out for every year you wanted to look at and aggregate that… But you take it however you want sunshine.

Are you going to average up daily snowpack for the past 100 years? It’d love to see that information, you should make a webpage with that data. I’ll edit my comment when you do ;)

You’ll never find figures for snowpack because it changes daily. Snowpack in March or snow pack in January… as I mentioned in a prior post, only a few years ago it snowed in Oct. and stayed the whole winter, sometimes we have a green Christmas. Vermont is known for having crazy weather, trying to read into any given winter or even 5winters is a fools errand.
