Bernie had it all

By

Wednesday, November 30, 2016 — Issue 385

WILMINGTON — I, for one, am still royally pissed off at the Democratic National Committee for its disgraceful handling of Bernie Sanders' campaign. He was the person to back and support for the presidential nomination.

Your assessment of the state of the Democratic Party is right on. I would not support either of the two major-party candidates, and am still amazed how anyone could vote for a person like Donald Trump.

I understand why people voted for him, but the things he's said and done are deplorable. Hillary Clinton was the status quo - nothing new there.

Bernie had it all: the fire, the stamina, the forward thinking, the real person who stood for the change this country needs.

Thank you for your words.

After learning that some advice from the Secretary of State's office lead the Brattleboro Board of Civil Authority to diverge from state statute when during the March 10 recount, Schwenk has requested recount deux. Town Clerk Annette Cappy has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, March 16, at 2 p.m. in the Selectboard...

I will be voting for Emilie Kornheiser to represent me in Montpelier. At the heart of Emilie's platform is the idea that we all do better when we see ourselves as part of a community, instead of in isolation. I believe that Emilie is right. As a business owner, I recognize that my employees' challenges are my challenges. People who have a sense of stability in their lives are able to make it to work, and perform better when they...
