Dear Editor,
Gov. Scott is due a hearty thanks from Montpelier businesses for all his veto tantrums.
Montpelier’s bars and restaurants really need the bump in revenues resulting from all the legislators and staff reconvening in Montpelier to buy meals and drinks, and to override all but one of the vetoed bills.
The governor might consider walking his own talk with regard to listening to “the other sides’ points of view,” and holding his own dysfunctional cabinet members to account on adhering strictly to statute and cost effectiveness, in the same way he claims local school officials are expected to do.
Those simple acts might serve to demonstrate some genuine integrity and compromise!
