UVM Students Save the Ice Sculpture Contest
A big congrats to Gregory’s class for succeeding where the city couldn’t. I thought it should be possible to still have the event without taxpayer’s money. You would think that with all the connections the city officials and CEDO have, they should have easily been able to find the sponsors to pick up the tab.

Rob Roper to Run Vermont Republican Party Chair
I recently read in Charity’s blog, that Rob Roper is running for chair of the Vermont Republican Party. I think it would be a great thing for the republicans to have him as their chair. I’ve met him and heard him speak several times and I agree with him on many issues.

I will definately be attending and I am very interested to hear it explained further.
