BRATTLEBORO-We are lucky to have had Emilie Kornheiser as our representative for the last five years, and it's crucial to re-elect a representative who has had an ear for all the communities here, including older Vermonters, property owners, and renters.
Emilie has an impressive track record and expansive life experiences. She is community oriented, has integrity, and is an invaluable asset to our town and county.
I respect Amanda Ellis-Thurber for throwing her hat in the ring. However, I'm concerned about her commitment to voting against a safe-injection site (SIS) in Brattleboro.
SIS facilities are shown to greatly reduce overdoses, the spread of communicable diseases, and ambulance calls.
