Odd, it doesn’t seem to be a factor when we mail out ballots to everyone in the state and then some? No one has complained about cost?
I think IRV is a horrible idea. I did it once in Burlington already and it was a complete failure and soundly thrown to the curb afterwards. I’ve yet to hear a good reason why we should toss out a system that’s worked for two hundred years to go with one that’s been tried already and failed. If you’ve got one please share.

This “article” is embarrassing. There is one source who gives a completely idiotic reason that it can’t be done yet, and they don’t bother to counter it whatsoever or seek other viewpoints. This isn’t journalism, it’s lazy propaganda.

Regardless, ranked choice voting is an incredibly simple concept and anyone arguing otherwise should be called on their obvious BS.

We just went to the Union ice rink in Woodstock. People use Walkers there with wheels to learn to skate so if those don’t do serious damage to the ice then the same would apply to a stroller. If there is anyone around from the town ask them otherwise I would just go ahead and use it after wiping the Wheels off first. If anyone objects (which I doubt they will unless you are zooming around knocking into people at high speed) then you can plead your case then or leave.

All are in demand.

I’m about 15 min from Burlington and pretty tuned in with both commercial and residential. I can give you some contacts in each trade if it’s helpful. Feel free to shoot me a pm with any/all questions.
