Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:

To the Editor,
Twice in my two years in the Vermont House, I cut off constituents mid-sentence. Both times, the person said some variation of “I don’t know how you people voted yes on…”
“Please,” I interrupted the first one. “There are 150 individual legislators in the House. We’re...
