This is the sound of me beating a dead horse. Governor Douglas does a lousy job for Vermont. Jim=Jobs(FOR HIS CRONIES). How many of us are better off now, heck, even as well off as when he took office?
Douglas bashing is easy, and I'm a great fan, don't get me wrong. But how productive is this in the long run? I think this is where the Governors race this year bogged down. The democrats were able to paint Douglas in a negative light, but unable to make their candidate a better, more logical choice.
The fact is he's our Governor, unless we come up with the votes to override his veto, we have no choice but to work with him. He's going to run our state into the ground unless he gets some help. Our roads will crumble, the budget shortfalls will be huge. He needs to be met at the table with ideas, and if he chooses to reject them, that will be his undoing.
No democrat thus far has been willing to assume a true leadership role or be a leading voice in challenging the governor. Not on his failures, but with new, well thought out ideas. The person Vermont is comfortable getting behind to move our state forward, and pull Vermont out of this slump.
If this person already exists I apologize. It's just that I've never seen any media coverage of you, or heard any of the great things you say we need to do. Where are you? We could really use you........
