Tonight, Heavenly and I attended the Chittenden County FreedomWorks meeting. I thought it was a very interesting meeting with a good turnout. We discussed the top issues facing Vermont including Health Care, Education, Taxes, and Property Rights.
At tonight’s city council meeting councilor Kurt Wright proposed a resolution that would place the following question on the ballot of the March, 2006 Annual City Meeting: “Shall the Vermont Legislature be urged to adopt legislation that would require that bargaining for teachers contracts in Vermont be accomplished either on a state wide basis with the possibility of allowances for legitimate regional differences, or, alternatively, on at least a regional basis?”.
We attended the Housing Super-Committee tonight. The discussion was about what can be done to improve the housing situation in Burlington.
Tonight we attended the Board of Finance meeting and the City Council meeting where rent control was discussed.
Tonight we attended the health care public forum put on by the Commission on Health Care Reform. The crowd overwhelmingly supported the proposed Universal Healthcare Bill. From what I heard, I think people, myself included, are a bit confused on what we would be getting.
We finished our petition! Tonight we got the 17 signatures we needed for a total of 45. To be on the ballot we actually need 30, however its suggested to gather 45 so that you are covered if there are any errors.
We attended the Moran Plant Public Forum at the Burlington High School. We now have a lot more choices to choose from.
We have held off from finishing the petition the last few days because of the rain. Tonight, we attended the Armory Open House, which was to get citizens to see what the Armory looked like and encourage ideas from the public.
We began gathering signatures for my petition to be on the ballot. We went around Farrington Mobile Home Park, where Heavenly and I live.
