  1. Re: “2 Vermont senators sue Gov. Phil Scott over Zoie Saunders ‘interim’ appointment”. Vyhovsky and McCormack; the pot calling the kettle black. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a little self reflection done by those two ….especially after all the yea votes after overriding the governor’s vetoes?

    • Two morons and a lawyer. I hope McCormack is leaving the legislature this fall. He is a dunce at best.

    • In addition to ignoring the concerns of constituents that communicated their disapproval of the bills that the governor vetoed. This is a great example of what how these politicians really define “democracy”, which is nothing more than mob rule. They are showing their true colors. Lesson, do not ever oblige these people politically.

    • Great picture of McCormack in the article. Best representation of what we called in the 1960s a “FAT CAT”.

  2. Gee Phil, two Senators aren’t reaching across the aisle like you always did.

  3. Nonsense “lawsuit” that is nothing more than grandstanding. It will be tossed.

    • Here’s my nasty Gram. The PHD legislator probably can’t even describe what a woman is! And if Senator McCormack was a lightbulb, he couldn’t light up a closet. If he eats a few more cheeseburgers there will be another opening in the senate. I hope he’s up to date on all his boosters. I’m just looking out for his health we need more Dims like him, cough cough.

    • Don’t dismiss this suit just yet. This will have legs well into the new biennium. No doubt both baruth and krowinski are behind it, using the vile ms. vyhovsky and soon “retired” and clownish mccormack to shield leadership from embarrassment should the D/P supermajority disappear in January. This is about embarrassing phil scott- punishment for his failure to ” go along to get along”.
      As the talking point lately seems to be “Preserving our Democracy”, I would point out this kind of retribution is exactly why Vermont is a Constitutional Republic and NOT a democracy.

  4. One wonders what they are so afraid of. Could it be that Ms. Saunders, besides being an outsider, is actually qualified and wouldn’t that disrupt the status quo. They are a tight little club under the dome and an outsider won’t know how the game is played. She won’t understand the pecking order and who to obey. It just does my heart good when the Governor gets the “club” all riled up. And I agree that Krowinski is the game’s dungeon master. She has had her panties in a twist over the Governor for some time simply because he is Governor and doesn’t (to quote Cartman from South Park) “respect my authoritah!” My question is – What the hell is in the water at the State House and should it be tested? Oh wait…given other recent news maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned the water. My bad.

    • >>>”What the hell is in the water at the State House and should it be tested? Oh wait…given other recent news maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned the water. My bad.”<<<

      I shouldn't have laughed, but oh boy did I ever!😂😂😂

  5. At least McCormack seems to have one thing in common with Justin Bieber…
