Another essay by John Klar at “American Thinker”.
During the COVID-19 threat, Vermont’s Legislature gave itself a raise while ramming through numerous preplanned progressive initiatives in a remotely convened legislative process. The state announced an expected $459-million budget shortfall due to the pandemic and has yet to revise its estimated $4.5-billion pension shortfall to reflect the impacts of COVID. Yet the Legislature appropriated millions of dollars to subsidize E.V. cars and seeks to enact a Global Warming Solutions Act that grants legal standing (and a statutory claim for attorney’s fees) to out-of-state special interest groups to sue the state to compel compliance with arbitrary carbon emission “targets.”

At least Fred Tuttle was honest about being just in it for the money.
Now…
Vermont’s “open” gubernatorial primary is August 11th. Mr. Klar is running for Governor on the “Republican ticket” He’s attempting to unseat rino Phil Scott. Aside from Scott he’s competing with three other no-name candidates for the Republican nomination.
The Democrat gubernatirial primary is also Aug 11th. Present Lt, Governor David Zuckerman a Progressive running as a Democrat is running against three other no-name Democrats.
An “open” primary means you don’t have to be registered to a particular political party to vote in their primary. A Democrat can vote in the Republican party and vice-versa. But you can’t vote in both, it’s either or. If say Democrats feel that their prefered candidate is a lock they may choose to vote in the Republican primary in order to ‘block’ the nomination of what they would preceive to be the Republican’s strongest candidate. Sneaky but perfectly legal.
I’ve seen several signs for John Klar around my town (along with a few Trump flags). I know about him through his articles in “American Thinker”.
I can’t speculate about his chances of political sucess. I do know that he would be much better then the ‘rino’ we have for Governor now and certainly better then having a full blown Communist Progressive as Chief Executive.
Also the Legislature has to be flipped at least to the point where the leftist no longer have cart blanche.
Vote on Aug. 11th and Nov. 3rd as if your life depends on it.
Will the Vermont voting public recognize the danger their in? Or will they only recognize it when it’s too late?
Time will tell.
