You might ask: What has the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee done for farmers lately? After all, hasn't Emilie Kornheiser been buried in property taxes, income taxes, and corporate taxes up to her neck while trying her darnedest to balance the Vermont state budget to meet the needs of her constituents?
A quick look shows she's done quite a lot, and we, as Brattleboro area farmers, ask for your support in her bid for re-election. As farmers, we know about hard work, and we know that Emilie works hard for all of us.
