Let’s vote out taxation
To the Editor,
Another election season is upon us. Ballots will be mailed out starting Monday, Sept. 23. I am asking my fellow Vermonters to again take consideration of candidates that will put a stop to the never-ending tax and spend agenda of the Democratic supermajority in the legislature and senate.
As a lifelong Vermonter, I am not alone in stating that my working-class friends, family and neighbors are hurting under the burden of high taxation placed upon us.
The Windsor County Republican party has candidates that are focused exclusively on the economic and social issues facing Vermonters. Every day the news outlets share the ongoing criminal acts in our neighborhoods, the lack of affordable housing, the tragedy of the heroin fentanyl/epidemic, failing schools and a health care system that is overloaded and near collapse. These candidates will demand a much overdue accounting of how our hard-earned and limited tax dollars are being spent and address these problems. They will work to restore fiscal responsibility and balanced government to our state.
Please join me in voting for the following Vermont State Senate candidates: Jonathan Gleason of Ludlow, Andrea Murray of Weathersfield and Jack Williams of Perkinsville.
VL Coffin of Cavendish is running for the State Legislature to represent Baltimore, Cavendish and Weathersfield. Coffin is a decorated combat veteran, retired U.S. Army and a working Vermonter. He will listen and represent your interests with the same honor and dedication as he has serving our nation.
All of these candidates stand with Gov. Phil Scott against the legislature’s tax hikes.

Vote for Karen Liot Hill
To the Editor:
On Tues. Sept. 10 I’m voting for Karen Liot Hill in the Democratic Primary for District 2 Executive Councilor. Why Karen Liot Hill? A long-time Lebanon resident, Karen has served on the Lebanon City Council and as the city’s mayor. She is now currently serving as she has for the past eight years as Grafton County Treasurer. She also has had experience in the private sector, working in the restaurant business. Karen is very familiar with Sullivan County, having worked with Sullivan County state representatives like myself, as well as managing campaigns of two New Hampshire Senate candidates who have had Sullivan communities within their districts.
Among other principles, she has declared that based on her life experiences, government can be a positive force for protecting and improving people’s lives. As our next Executive Councilor, she will work for more funds for our roads and bridges, more money for family planning agencies, as keeping the next Governor and state department heads accountable for how they spend our tax dollars.
Therefore, on Tues. Sept 10, please join me in voting for Karen Liot Hill for District 2 Executive Councilor!
Thank you,
State Rep. John R. Cloutier
Claremont, New Hampshire
