Like many Vermonters, I am an Independent who usually votes for Democrats or Progressives but has supported Phil Scott enthusiastically. While moderately conservative fiscally (and so a moderating force on our predominantly liberal state Congress), he is quite progressive socially. More than that, he’s been known as a a person of impeccable integrity. If this appointment is his back-door way of opening us to charters and weakening our public schools, I will be sorely disappointed, and this will be the beginning of the end for his governorship. This after his being elected/ re-elected 4 times so far, with increasingly wide margins, by this Bernie-loving citizenry. So please look further. Where are the direct answers to these questions from Scott himself? On what basis (besides this choice) are you seeing him as anti-public education?
Good Lawd! A terrible choice….
