  1. Ah yes, nothing says progress quite like a song from the 1840s that endorses the ever relevant Whig Party.

    Well, Tippecanoe was our shortest lived President. How does one square Jokinen's announced Ayn Rand policies with Whig -- pro-government stimulus projects is not terribly clear to me. Is this some kind of revisionist history or something?

  5. When hurricane Irene devastated the rest of Vermont, there was no damage to Springfield, because there is a flood control dam in North Springfield. When I asked Ms. Emmons and Mrs. Martin if they were going to lobby to relocate state offices to Park St. School, and the empty machine tool company office space in Springfield, they replied the state would not consider doing that. Could they have had (and have) a negative opinion of the town they represented? Perhaps they have good reasons.

    The Springfield School District has eliminated advanced college credited courses in English and Math, and the best Russian language course in the state. Yet the town can't figure out why well educated parents don't buy real estate in Springfield, and our best students are going to school at Green Mountain, for which the District must pay tuition.

    Town Manager Forguites put not a penny for paving in a recent town budget, did not consult with Supervisor Harry Henderson before the budget was voted on, and when it was approved, asked Harry when he was going to repave upper Clinton St.! Don't expect anything to change because Forguites will be in the legislature. Our town is spiraling down our well engineered storm drains!
