2024 Update: Reposting for clarity but will add "if you fail to provide housing for all our unsheltered neighbors this year." Offer still holds. #vtpoli#HousingFirst#Vermont
I will be a single issue voter in the next election. If you vote against extending the GA housing program, I will vote against you and volunteer to help your opponent. #vtpoli
In case we are unclear..
Complaining about taxing people with incomes over 500k, exiting disabled people experiencing homelessness from shelter to the street & choosing charter school expert from Florida for Ed Secretary....do not equal "nice".

Gov Scott is not going to change course. Yes, he's inept but more importantly he is cruel and lacks a moral compass. #vtpoli#LeadershipMatters https://t.co/ORhhNKCSjJ]
If a Vermont renter did that, they would lose their housing. It could take 30 days or until the end of their lease before having to move out. Vermont needs to end No Cause Evictions. #vtpoli#HousingCrisis#RentersRights
After a unit sat empty since Oct. I reminded my landlord that Section 8 discrimination is now illegal and if they didn't rent to the family that applied with a voucher I was going to tell on them to our fair housing enforcement agency and the family just moved in tonight. 😊🎉
Today serves as a call to change the DCF adverse weather conditions from a date on the calendar. It should be actual weather conditions much like farming is. #vtpoli#LeadershipMatters
@troublesometots @GovPhilScott What are her views on slavery?. Does she agree with DeSantis and think they were taught useful trades? What are her views on all the book banning going on in Florida? So many questions...
@thevpo1 Motel millionaires can now make their rooms available to the eclipse hoard. Also, the lack of people lining up for a bed at Winters Hall is a straight-up fuck you to Phil Scott from the fragile Vermonters who are homeless.
In the face of a severe storm, the governor is closing his temporary shelters. Oh, and it look like there’s a severe shortage of motel rooms for people with state-paid vouchers. Have a nice weekend! https://t.co/8ezh2RqgRG
To spend $100k more than it would have costed to allow people time to qualify to remain sheltered under the new eligibility guidelines is horrifying.
Shameful, we just paid extra to hurt people with disabilities. #vtpoli#crisisinvt

@BrendaForVT I'm surprised to learn admin officials could cite 1/3 of our vulnerable Vermonters ARE actually disabled. Go Vermont Legal Aid! Yes, these disabled people should be participants in the case!
"roughly four million people are out of work because of Long Covid, resulting in around $200 billion each year in lost wages. Yet the economic burden of Long Covid continues to be widely overlooked."

Definitely an ADA violation. Instead, our Vermont Governor celebrates ADA Day with pretty words and criminal actions. Sounds like a page from the GOP Playbook. It's often impossible to advocate for yourself due to medical conditions. #ADAViolation#ADA#Vermont
Today all I can say is Our Governor exited hundreds of people with disabilities who were eligible to remain sheltered, AGAINST the clear intent of the law. What an appalling level of cruelty. Today take a moment for people sleeping outside. Cruelty.

One of the best ways to reduce both housing pressure and healthcare costs, would be to legalize *any* multifamily housing within 1 mile of healthcare facilities.
UVMMC alone spent $120M on travel nurse wage premiums due caused in part by the housing shortage.

“This, my friends, is what the Scott administration thinks is acceptable shelter space for dozens of our most vulnerable Vermonters.” Keep reading, it only gets worse. https://t.co/6NdOIm6pZa
@JamesThrot Would you like to look at my recent MRIs? Had 2-3 hours in the MRI machine done less than 2 weeks ago. I also have several MRIs done pre-Covid over the last 20 years.
