  1. This is what you get when you have a DEI Mayor with her city council, yes this gaggle of fools roadblocking any common sense proposals to protect the citizens of the city.

    So with Burlington Police handling 180 incidents over the weekend, how many councilors or the DEI Mayor, were doing a ride-along, as they think the BPT is an inept organization and needs their supervision policing and don’t they dare report any crime before it’s blessed by the Mayor.

    Progressive leadership ” so-called ” leadership, has turned what was known as the Queen City, turned it into a cesspool of crime, drugs, and homelessness, and they call this leadership, if it wasn’t so sad, it would be funny.

    When will the property owners and business owners stand up against this inept group running the city, they’re running it into the ground !!

  2. Looks like everything is coming home to roost. It’s hitting the fan and progressing. Face it Montpelier, we are fed up with your nonsense. Either shift direction or pay the consequences, voted out. We don’t want or need you anymore in the present iteration. With regard to the educator being concerned about the students, just do your job locally. That’s what you are being paid to do by us the taxpayers that contribute to your salary, benefits and retirement.

  3. Too bad Trump already has a job, he would have made a great mayor of Burlington. Maybe he could recommend a replacement for mayor and governor. And two new senators and congress clown would also be nice.
