We
on
yes,
okay,
I'd,
like
to
welcome
everyone
to
the
east
District
candidate
Forum.
This
is
for
the
special
election
that's
coming
up
in
December
and
we're
hoping
that
this
Forum
will
give
you
a
chance
to
know
the
candidates
what
their
views
are
and
for
the
people
that
are
here
in
the
room
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions.
That's
also
true
for
people
who
are
tuned
in
Via
zoom
and
we'll
go
from
there.
B
The
basic
format
is
going
to
be
that
the
candidates
will
have
an
opportunity
to
introduce
themselves
we'll
have
some.
The
steering
committee
has
devised
a
number
of
questions,
we're
going
to
ask
all
the
candidates,
then
they'll
be
audience
questions
and
time
permitting.
We
have
a
second
set
of
questions
that
this
Aaron
committee,
devised
to
until
we
run
out
of
time,
so
without
further
delays.
Here,
let
me
introduce
the
candidates.
F
Hi,
everyone
I
see
a
lot
of
familiar
faces
since
I
was
last
here,
but
sit
back.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
So
I
see
a
lot
from
your
faces,
but
I
also
see
some
new
faces,
so
I
want
to
reduce
myself.
My
name
is
Tina
John
and
I
have
lived
here.
My
whole
life
I
grew
up
in
the
school
system
and
now
I'm
involved
in
the
community,
and
a
lot
of
my
experiences
are
based
upon.
What's
like
living
in
Burlington
at
a
young
age,
I
witness
food
I've
experienced
food
insecurity.
F
My
family
was
affected
in
our
home
in
the
middle
of
winter.
My
mother
was
the
only
one
working.
She
was
working
two
jobs
to
try
to
sustain
five
children.
We
didn't
have
heat
and
we
were
kicked
out,
so
she
had
to
find
a
solution
for
our
family
and
I.
Didn't
really
realize
what
it
was
like
growing
up:
a
low
income
child
of
immigrant
parents
who
were
health
care
workers
until
at
13
years
old.
F
It
was
my
responsibility
to
make
sure
all
my
siblings
got
free
lunch
and
then
that
was
sort
of
when
I
realized
that
I
have
to
be
the
solution
to
my
problems,
no
one
is
going
to
give
it
to
me.
So
when
you
experience
that
at
such
a
young
age,
you
start
wanting
to
make
sure
other
people
have
Solutions.
So
then,
at
18
years,
old
I
was
nominated,
nominated
and
asked
to
be
an
advisor
for
a
campaign
at
the
time
addressing
incarceration
as
well
as
opioid
crisis.
F
So
then,
right
now,
my
when
I
was
asked
to
run
I
have
had
such
great
opportunities
met,
such
great
people
and
I'm
learning
more
and
more
about
the
community
and
I'm
really
excited
to
use
my
experiences
to
apply
policies.
I
needed
my
job
in
the
courthouse
to
make
sure
Public,
Safety
and
housing
is
properly
addressed.
G
G
G
Let
me
leave
home
at
17,
move
to
a
hippie
commune
in
Tennessee
and
I
did
my
last
year
of
high
school
down
for
those
of
you
who
are
familiar
at
the
farm
in
Summertown
Tennessee,
which
is
a
world-renowned
intentional
Community
and
I
got
to
self-direct
my
final
year
of
education
and
I.
Think
that
was
a
really
formative
experience
as
I
learned
how
to
adult.
G
Without
the
safety
net
of
my
family,
it
was
when
I
was
living
in
Tennessee
that
I
first
experienced
homelessness.
This
was
2008
and
2009.
So
you
know
part
of
the
agreement
that
I
made
with
my
folks
was
that
that
I
would
be
self-supporting
while
I
was
there
and
and
then
the
the
Great
Recession
hit
right.
G
So
I
lost
my
job
and
I
found
myself
in
a
position
where
I
could
either
return
home.
With
my
tail
between
my
legs
go
back
to
public
school,
which
I
have
hoard
and
and
give
up
on
what
was
to
become.
You
know,
my
great
coming
out
as
an
adult
or
I
could
live
in
a
tent
in
the
woods
in
what
was
a
pretty
temperate
climate
and
just
make
it
work,
and
so
that's
what
I
did,
and
so
that
was
my
first
experience
with
homelessness.
G
So
when
I
moved
to
Burlington,
I
was
18.
All
my
connections
in
the
community
were
students.
They
were
all
living
in
dorms
and
so
for
the
first
four
months
that
I
lived
in
Burlington
until
I
could
find
an
apartment.
I
was
bouncing
between
couches
and
beds
and
dorms
and
sleeping
in
my
car.
So
you
know:
I've
worked
recently
with
the
homeless
Community
at
the
Holiday
Inn,
but
I've
also
been
a
part
of
that
Community
and
I
I've.
A
G
My
opponent
held
that
against
me
and
tried
to
evict
me
from
the
district,
thus
getting
rid
of
his
opponent
and
ultimately
he
was
successful.
But
I
think
it's
unfortunate
that
in
this
city,
people
who
so
frequently
try
to
do
the
right
thing
for
themselves
for
the
community
for
their
families
find
themselves
in
a
position
where
they're
running
afoul
of
our
our
Norms.
G
A
B
A
H
This
is
a
wonderful
place
to
live
and
we
want
to
live
here
safely.
We
want
enough
housing
for
everyone,
and
these
are
the
issues
facing
city
council
and
the
person
who
becomes
the
East
District
representative
for
Ward,
one
and
Ward
8
will
address
many
of
these
really
pressing
issues
that
affect
all
of
us.
So
that's
why
I'm
running
I
am
really
excited
to
be
here
in
the
meeting
house,
which
is
really
an
appropriate
place.
I
think
for
this
forum.
H
H
B
B
G
But
you
won't
have
to
listen
to
me
so
long,
because
we're
just
doing
90
seconds
on
these
questions
so
I
think
it's
a
great
question.
You
know
something
that
I
I
hold
in
my
mind.
Is
that
one
way
that
you
avoid
neurodegenerative
disorders
as
you
age
according
to
research,
is
that
you
challenge
yourself
so
something
that
I've
always
really
embraced
wholeheartedly
is
working
with
people
who
challenge
me.
I
think
that
those
are
the
best
kind
of
people
honestly
because
they
challenge
you
to
grow.
G
So
I
think
that
when
it
comes
to
folks
that
I
disagree
with
my
first
inclination
is
always
to
try
and
understand
where
they're
coming
from
what
they're
bringing
to
the
table.
Why
we
have
landed
at
different
points
and
something
that's
important
to
recognize
there
and
I'll
leave
it
at
this
is
have
we
arrived
at
different
destinations
while
originating
at
the
same
point,
or
do
we
have
a
fundamental
disagreement
about
the
nature
of
things
that
led
to
that
disagreement?.
H
I
think
that
when
people
disagree,
it's
really
important
for
them
to
listen
to
each
other,
and
when
you
hear
someone
else's
perspective,
you
can
understand
where
the
disagreement
lies
and
you
can
either
try
to.
You
know
address
that
that
point
of
disagreement
or
you
might
try
to
persuade
someone
else
of
your
perspective,
but
listening
to
each
other
and
understanding
that
communication
is
absolutely
important
and
that
one's
own
position
might
not
be
the
the
best
one.
H
F
So
the
best
part
of
my
job,
but
also
the
hardest
part
of
my
job,
is
delegating.
My
role
is
to
Delegate.
For
example.
Two
of
us
here
are
renters.
One
of
us
here
is
a
landlord.
My
part
of
my
job
is
to
delegate
cases
where
you
have
a
little
on
one
side,
a
10.
On
another
side.
We
have
someone
who
committed
the
crime.
Another
person
who
is
the
victim
I,
have
been
trained
in
the
expertise
of
delegating
such
emotionally
charged
cases.
F
Once
when
I
found
myself
emotionally
invested,
but
I
realize
that
my
responsibility
is
to
make
sure
both
sides
are
being
heard
and
both
sides
arguments
are
being
properly
processed
and
I.
Think
when
you,
when
so
much
of
your
work,
is
delegating
cases
such
as
relief
from
abuse
with
children,
you
really
grow
a
type
of
thick
skin
and
you're
able
to
take
away
the
biases,
take
away
the
political
lenses
and
see
that
of
the
day.
We
all
just
want
to
go
home.
So
let's
try
to
find
that
common
ground
and
there's
not
a
common
ground.
F
Then
we'll
look
for
another
solution
and
that's
why
I'm
really
excited
to
run
for
city
council
it's
time
to
have
an
experienced
delegator,
so
we're
no
longer
in
deadlock.
Public
Safety
has
been
such
a
deadlock,
but
I
deal
with
Public
Safety,
so
I'm
excited
to
say,
yeah.
Welcome
to
my
life,
but
not
rights
makes
city
council
part
of
my
life
and
I'm
like
to
make
sure
the
community
is
being
properly
handled
with
an
experienced
delegator.
A
H
Is
it
could
be
a
weakness
during
the
pandemic,
in
particular?
There's
this
very
insular
time.
I.
Think
a
lot
of
us
experience
that
and
being
you
know,
isolated
was
really
it
was.
It
was
forced,
but
I
am
an
artist
and
I
am
you
know,
comfortable
being
alone
and
and
in
the
same
sense,
that's
my
strength.
H
I
am
able
to
do
research.
I
am
able
to
figure
things
out,
I'm
able
to
start
knocking
on
doors
and
reaching
out
to
the
community
and
really
realizing
that
we're
in
this
together,
so
being
an
introvert
has
really
you
know
it's
shaped
who
I
am
as
an
artist,
but
I
think
it
puts
me
in
a
position
to
realize
I
need
to
reach
out
I
need
to
break
out
and
and
be
something
of
a
public
person
in
order
to
help
the
city
and
be
a
part
of
the
democratic
foreign.
F
F
Think
no
matter
how
like
profound
my
resume
is
no
matter
how
much
work
I've
done
towards
the
community,
no
matter
the
fact
that
I
spent
spring
semester
working
with
the
Winooski
School
District
to
make
sure
that
their
bill
pushing
for
increased
funding,
Was,
Heard
and
passed
and
working
with
the
mayor
on
it,
and
when
you
see
it's
still
not
good
enough
for
some
people.
But
what?
But
what
I
think
it's
a
pro
about
me
being
young
is
because
I'm
energetic,
I'm,
passionate
I,
don't
sleep!
Why?
Because
I
come
from
a
low-income
family.
F
B
G
G
I
think
that
my
mind
is
very
analytical,
but
in
a
very
humanistic
way,
I'm
very
experienced
with
taking
data
and
relating
it
to
the
human
beings
behind
the
data
and
asking
good
questions.
So
I
think
this
is
an
important
strength
to
bring
to
city
council
and
asking
those
good
questions
and
finding
those
nuggets
within
the
policy
where
things
are
being
overlooked
or
opportunities
are
being
missed.
G
As
far
as
weaknesses,
I
think,
in
addition
to
what
Maya
said,
I
would
echo
in
stepping
up
and
being
a
public
figure,
is
very
frightening
to
me
and
something
that
does
not
come.
Naturally,
I
think
that
my
weakness
that
is
most
prescient
here
is
that
I
am
very
principled
in
the
ways
of
how
I
think
democracy
should
function
thanks.
F
Well,
before
I
even
accept
it
to
run
I've
always,
and
so
am
a
leader
in
my
community
and
I
was
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
you
through
serve
Justice.
You
know,
I
work
in
the
courthouse
in
juvenile
cases
are
such
a
tragedy
because
a
lot
of
times
these
children
grew
up
in
housing
that
was
not
sustainable,
to
have
access
to
education
and
when
I
ran
for
Council
I
knew.
That
was
something
I
didn't
really
want
to,
let
go
and
then,
as
it
can
count
as
I
was
nominated
and
I
met.
F
F
One
person
cannot
save
at
all
that
if
one
person
cannot
do
let
someone
else
step
up
and
I
think
you
know,
even
if
I
try
to
do
it
all
I
can't
always,
but
that's
I'm
really
excited
that
people
I
made
friends
with
and
the
doors
I've
knocked
we're
all
in
this
together.
It's
not
just
continuing
to
work
together
on
it.
G
At
the
time,
Bill
Sorel
had
a
conference
up
at
UVM
on
the
wage
Gap
and
trying
to
explore
like
why
women
in
our
community
in
our
state
make
less
than
men
that
why
there's
not
pay
equity
coming
out
of
that
conference,
there
was
a
working
group
that
was
formed
to
write
a
bill
for
the
legislature
that
would
address
these
gaps
and
you
know,
being
young.
Looking
for
some
experience.
Looking
to
learn.
G
I
was
like
yeah.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
to
join
this
working
group
and
and
see
what
comes
out
of
it
and
I
distinctly.
Remember
one
of
those
meetings.
You
know
this
group
of
about
12
people.
We
were
trying
to
figure
out
like.
Can
we
get
this
thing
through?
Do
some
things
need
to
go
on
the
chopping
block
and
one
of
those
things
was
the
right
to
request
or
the
right
to
discuss
your
pay
with
your
co-workers
and
I
was
like
nope.
We
need
to
keep
it.
G
B
A
H
H
I
decided
to
become
a
union
representative
at
St,
Michael's,
College
and
I
have
been
working
for
many
many
years
at
the
college,
and
there
was
this
strange
absence
of
acknowledgment
of
adjunct
faculty
and
it
it
bothered
me.
There
was
something
fundamentally
missing
in
the
communications,
a
friend
of
mine
who
would
work
there
for
19
years
retired,
and
there
was
no
mention
of
her
having
worked
for
19
years
and
so
by
being
a
union
representative
and
fighting
for
adjunct
faculty
rights
for
higher
pay
for
acknowledgment
by
an
institution.
H
I
think
the
reason
that
I
started
with
that
role
really
was
based
on
my
own
personal
experiences
and
and
seeing
how
my
friend
just
disappeared
after
her
retirement,
but
the
the
consequences,
the
not
entirely
unintended,
were
quite
wonderful
in
that
the
the
college
acknowledged
and
began
to
respect
adjunct
faculty
more,
and
this
is
a
Workforce
that
they
rely
on
enormously
and
by
inviting
adjuncts
to
to
faculty
meetings
and
getting
representation.
It
was
a
wonderful
result
of
these
actions.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
we're
gonna.
The
tone
of
the
questions
is
gonna
shift
a
little
and,
as
you
know,
city
council
addresses
a
lot
of
different
concerns
that
are
close
to
the
wards
and
city-wide
and
even
state
or
nationally,
and
so
the
question
is
how
you
balance
time
between
addressing
concerns
of
the
ward,
City
or
national
global
concerns
and
Jake
you're
at
first.
G
G
But
you
know
I,
honestly
I
think
it
was
a
waste
of
time
and
political
Capital.
When
we
got
into
a
debate
about
what
was
going
on
in
Israel
and
Palestine,
though
I
I
have
my
own
very
strong
feelings
about
that,
I.
Just
don't
think
this
is
the
time
or
the
place,
so
you
just
got
to
figure
it
out
figure
out
what
our
priorities
are.
H
H
F
What
I
would
say
is
I
mean
I
agree
a
lot
with
what
Maya
is
saying
that
we,
as
the
town
like
we
do
a
lot
of
great
work
and
I
think
that's
the
reason
why
I
love
Burlington
I
mean
look
what
we
passed
with
the
Reproductive
Rights.
We
were
the
first
to
do
so
and
the
way
we
pushed
to
make
sure
the
slavery
was
taking
out
of
the
the
Constitution.
So
we've
done
really
great
work.
We
continue
to
do
so.
F
We
are
one
of
I
believe
one
of
the
leaders
towards
addressing
climate
change,
but
what
I
want
to
caution
is
is
what
I
see
a
lot.
Also
in
my
job
is
that
it's
so
easy
and
I
for
Burlington
to
be
like
politicized,
I
feel
like
out
of
all
the
towns
in
Vermont.
For
some
reason,
it's
our
town
that
the
New
York
Times
article
about
the
Viking
thieves.
F
You
know
I
felt
like
New
York
Times
to
me
really
adequately
address
the
types
of
crime
rates
and
Public
Safety
that
was
going
on
I
feel
like
our
newspapers
too,
like
they
really.
It's
we're
the
town
that
can
be
easily
politicized
at
times,
because
everyone
sort
of
looks
at
Burlington
and
I
what
I
really
want,
because
I
love
my
town,
so
much
I
really
really
want
to
encourage
to
make
sure
for
us
to
make
time
for
all
these
issues.
F
We
have
to
make
sure
we're
also
delicate
towards
people
who
have
higher
power
than
us,
which
is
like
our
state,
reps
and
assettors,
like
they're,
the
ones
that
can
get
on
the
newspaper
get
globally
more
than
us
and
I
feel
like
the
more.
We
believe
that
our
community
should
not
only
have
to
be
the
solution
for
every
problem
that
we
should
pressure
in
more
towards
like
people
who
have
more
power
than
us,
then
we
can
continue
to
do
great.
B
H
Yeah,
the
largest
issue,
I,
see
facing
word
one
right
now
is
representation
on
City
Council.
This
is
really
totally
lacking.
Well,
no,
not
entirely,
but
the
East
District
seat
is
Ward
one
and
Ward
8.
and
Ward
8
has
absolutely
no
representation
at
all
the
issues
that
are
really
pressing
for
us
in
Ward
one
because
I
live
in
Ward.
H
One
I
think
our
Public
Safety
I
have
spoken
with
many
neighbors
who
have
had
their
houses
broken
into
and
things
stolen,
and
this
really
is
not
the
way
Burlington
has
been
in
the
past.
There's
a
direct
correlation
between
the
rise
in
crime
and
recent
events
that
city
council
has
been
directly
involved
in
and
I.
I
really
think
that
addressing
the
police
force
and
bringing
it
up
to
a
level
that
is
appropriate
for
Burlington
will
really
help
with
the
Spate
of
crime.
H
F
A
couple
weeks
ago,
mayor
Moreau
called
me
to
have
a
sit-down
meeting
and
the
conversation
was
around.
What
I
found
was
the
most
pressing
and,
first
and
foremost,
I
addressed
Public
Safety
with
him.
I
was
very,
very
clear
with
him
that,
no
matter
how
much
police
you
hire
it's
not
going
to
address
the
public
safety
issue
enough
because
it
starts
with
education,
affordable
housing.
It
starts
with
the
War
on
Drugs,
so
systematic
racism.
We
are
years
behind
on
these
issues
and
I
was
very
adamant
about
it.
F
Nothing
and
as
someone
as
a
black
woman
from
low-income
housing,
who's
seen
a
lot
of
crime.
Who's
lost
someone
to
murder
this
someone
that
was
on
newspaper
it
starts
with
it
starts
at
home,
and
my
case
is
I
deal
with
I
watch.
Family
cases
turn
into
crime
cases,
it
really
starts
at
home
and
the
other
thing
would
be
housing.
You
know,
I
am
a
renter
and
I
worked
two
jobs
at
one
point
and
I
just
afford
groceries
and
rent,
and
my
story
is
not
special.
It's
a
story
of
a
lot
of
people
in
our
town.
F
So
let's
address
that
and
let's
please
support
things
like
Champlain
Housing,
chess,
Earhart
who's,
a
notable
member
of
our
community
like
he
built
Champlain
Housing
and
that's
where
I
live
right
now,
and
do
you
see
that
correlation
if
we
work
together
and
we
listen
to
each
other-
a
lot
can
happen.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
about
what
parties
we're
on
it
really
does
not.
G
We're
discussing
on
Election
Day
was
the
inequity
in
our
community
and
I.
Think
that's
an
important
thing
to
discuss
and
I
think
so.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
I
live
in
the
River
Watch
set
of
buildings
and
Dina
lives
in
the
salmon
run,
Riverside
yeah
and
so
we're
both
on
Riverside
Avenue.
Both
of
our
little
communities
are
right
next
to
each
other.
If
there's
such
differences
in
that
article
I
referenced
earlier,
Dina
mentioned
to
Courtney
Landon
that
people
in
her
community
are
afraid
to
call
the
police.
G
B
B
B
C
F
F
One
of
the
reason
why
I'm
writing
is
that
I
think
we
should
have
someone
who's
not
only
grew
up
here
and
lived
here
for
so
long,
but
if
they're
already
involved,
they
come
with
already
the
knowledge
of
what
needs
to
be
done
and
also
what's
happening
behind
closed
doors.
Like
you
know,
the
Burlington
Police
Department,
like
they
called
the
courthouse
a
lot
of
times
so
I
see
the
types
of
cases
they
deal
with.
I
see
a
types
of
cases
about
civil
matters
with
like
employees,
Fair
reaches
Union
cases.
F
G
Thank
you,
I
think.
That's
a
really
good
and
important
question
to
ask
just
just
to
start
off
the
bat.
A
few
weeks
ago
at
the
last
I
think
Forum.
Somebody
asked
me
about
attending
City
Council
meetings
and
I
I
said
to
that
person.
I'll
see
you
at
the
next
one,
but
at
the
next
city
council
meeting
actually
like
as
it
was
starting.
That
was
when
I
had
to
put
my
dog
down,
so
I
have
not
been
at
any
City
Council
meetings,
but
I
have
been
watching
them
after
the
fact.
G
So
if
that
person
is
here
or
or
watching,
I
just
want
to
address
that
off
the
bat
I
think
in
this
city.
We
have
so
much
going
on
that
bandwidth
is
a
really
important
thing
to
talk
about,
like
you
can't
be
up
to
date
on
everything
at
all
times
and
know
what's
going
on
everywhere
and
how
to
manage
it.
So
I
think
that
having
a
personal
network
of
people
plugged
into
these
different
positions
and
having
relationships
with
folks
who
are
doing
things
is
important.
G
So
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
name
drop
all
the
people
that
I'm
friends
with
and
who
I
talk
to
and
who
I
know,
because
I
don't
think
that's
very
becoming
thing
to
do,
but
I
would
say
that
I
have
spent
a
long
time
developing
those
relationships.
I
am
very
abreast
of
what
people
are
doing
in
the
city,
how
their
relationships
work?
Who
to
talk
to
when
the
order
in
which
you
do
these
things-
and
you
know
when
and
where
to
spend
your
political
capital.
H
Thank
you
for
the
question
and
I
would
say
that
I
am
a
novice
at
this
I've
been
a
long
time
resident
here,
but
in
speaking
with
neighbors
I've
learned
so
much
and
the
role
of
the
East
District
City
councilor
is
to
be
a
representative
of
your
district
and
to
bring
information
from
your
your
constituents
and
how
that
works.
You
know
and
the
complexity
of
City
politics
is
something
I'm
learning
about,
but
I
I
don't
believe
it
happens
behind
closed
doors
and
overhearing.
H
B
A
E
So
I'm
Michael
long
I
live
in
in
Ward
one,
and
the
question
I'd
like
to
address
to
the
candidates
is
about
polarization
and
divisiveness.
We
we
have
a
lot
of
that
nationally.
We've
been
suffering
from
that
quite
a
bit
for
some
years
now,
and
oddly
enough,
even
though
here
in
Burlington
notice,
we
don't
have
a
republican
candidate
on
the
dice.
Today
we
have
progressives
and
or
a
progressive
and
a
Democrat
and
an
independent,
and
my
sense
is
that
all
of
you
are
pretty
ideologically
pretty
pretty
close.
E
I
mean
it's
always
baffled
me
that
the
prags
and
the
Dems
are
are
so
much
at
one
another's
jugulars,
even
though
they
should
be
there.
There
shouldn't
be
such
a
distinction
or
such
animosity
between
them.
So
I
guess.
My
question
is
that
how
do
we
deal
with
that
on
a
local
level
so
that
we
can
move
forward
more
effectively?
G
G
G
G
B
A
F
When
I
was
here
last
time,
I
remember
having
a
conversation
with
this
lovely
couple
in
the
back.
I.
Remember
talking
to
you
about
sort
of
like
you
know
your
concerns
about
the
Progressive
Party
when
it
came,
comes
to
NC,
Public,
Safety
I,
remember
disgusting,
to
you
about
domestic
violence,
which
is
something
I
feel
like
needs
to
be
more
of
a
conversation
when
talk
about
Public,
Safety
I,
remember
like
leaving
our
conversation
and
really
I
really
felt
as
if,
if
we're
going
to
choose
a
counselor,
that's
to
represent
word
one
plus
word
eight.
F
Let's,
let's
make
it
someone
that
you
know
you
can
invite
home
and
sit
down
and
have
a
conversation
with,
even
if
you're
a
different
odds,
not
someone
that
makes
you
uncomfortable
that
you
know
you're
not
able
to
communicate
with
I
represent
so
many
identities.
You
know,
I
represent
the
new
American
families
that
represents
bypoc
I
represent
being
the
child
health
care
workers.
I
represent
low-income
families.
F
I
represent
people
have
experienced
food
insecurity
in
the
housing
crisis
so
because
these
matters
affect
me
so
much
I
understand
why,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
really
about
the
issue
at
hand
and
less
so
the
part
of
affiliation
and
I'm
really
ready
to
work
towards
that
with
whoever
does
not
mile
the
party
for
some
of
the
day
like
I
always
say
I
want.
We
all
just
deserve
to
go
home
and
not
left
feeling
the
deadlock,
which
I
think
is
the
issue
where
a
lot
of
us
are
feeling
right
now.
C
J
Lessness
things
like
that,
but
it
has
to
do
with
the
upcoming
and
current
redistricting
process
and
I
want
to
ask
you
each
of
you,
because
if
you
were
a
ward
one
or
Ward
8
counselor,
you
would
have
the
interest
of
that
reward,
and
hopefully
the
city
in
mind.
But
but
you
would
also
have
this
direct
commitment
to
your
award.
J
The
unique
thing
about
Ward,
the
the
East
district
is
that
you
you
represent
both
and
there's
a
sort
of
a
potential
conflict
here
because,
as
you
all
probably
know,
some
of
the
maps
that
are
in
consideration,
some
of
the
leading
from
some
of
the
folks
on
city
council
seem
to
be
leaning
toward
would
to
some
of
us
eviscerate
Ward
one
move.
Many
many
more
students
renters
into
Ward
one.
J
That
might
be
better
for
Ward
8.
it'll
be
great
for
Ward
five
and
six,
because
they're
not
gonna
have
to
handle
any
of
this.
Sorry,
but
pardon
me
so
and
I
don't
mean
to
and
I'm
not
anti-student,
because
we've
had
students
across
the
street,
for
you
know
on
our
street
for
the
time
we've
lived
here
and
it's
been
sometimes
wonderful.
It
sometimes
has
been
really
really
bad.
I
mean,
like
scary,
bad
depends
on
who's
there.
J
The
bottom
line
is
UVM,
doesn't
have
enough
student
housing,
especially
for
first
and
second
year,
students
I'm,
sorry,
third
and
fourth
year.
So
this
redistricting
plan,
that's
being
discussed
in
the
different
Maps
I,
want
to
ask
what
are
all
of
your
views
on
redistricting
and
bottom
line
is
about
specifically
about
changes
to
the
the
makeup
of
Ward,
one
that
would
fundamentally
change
Ward
one
and
also
fundamentally
change
Ward
8,
but
in
very
different
ways.
So
if
you
could
speak
to
that,
thank
you.
Yeah.
H
Fortunately,
that
last
meeting
there
was
no
representative
for
Ward
one
or
Ward
eight,
and
these
are
crucial
issues
because
they
do
affect
us.
The
the
the
issue
of
the
students
is
being
dealt
with
with
these
many
different
maps.
How
do
you
distribute
that
student
vote
more
evenly
over
the
different
districts?
And
the
reason
for
that
is
that
you
have
a
transient
population
that
is
not
necessarily
as
invested
in
the
long
term
as
a
community.
H
The
way
a
long-term
resident
is
and
the
impact
of
that
vote
for
something
that
is
attractive
or
trendy
for
a
person
who
is
19,
20,
21
years
old,
who's
living
in
Burlington
temporarily,
that
does
the
the
weight
of
that
needs
to
be
distributed
more
evenly
and
I.
I
was
really
disheartened
to
hear
that
there
was
no
word
one
representation
of
the
last
city
council
meeting,
because
representation
is
what
will
make
for
something
that
works
for
the
residents
who
are
feeling
this
and-
and
you
mentioned
scary,
some
of
the
the
you
know.
H
F
So
I've
lived
in
Ward
one
for
every
decade
there
and
I
live
in
a
family,
neighborhood
and
I
agree
with
you.
You
know
I
wouldn't
like
to
see
Ward
one
being
handled
the
means
where
we
don't
have
enough,
like
families
and
homeowners
and
renters
being
represented
in
there.
I
would
I
I
really
and
I've
talked
about
this.
With
a
few
of
my
campaign,
I
really
believe
we
need
to
hold
TVM
more
accountable
in
way
so
much,
they
overly
admit
students
every
year
and
when
you
overly
admit
students
every
year,
you're
only
exaggerating
the
housing
crisis.
F
So
that's
something
if
I
was
to
stay
accounts.
I
really
want
to
address
that.
If
we're
going
to
talk
redistricting,
we
have
to
hold
an
email
accountable
for
how
many
students
they're
admitting
every
year
and
also
I
need
to
respond
to
sort
the
violence
that
we
see
in
the
city
hall.
It's
it
starts
with
the
War
on
Drugs.
It
starts
with
affordable
housing.
It
starts
with
education.
It
starts
with
the
fact
of
mothers
are
able
to
stay
home
in
a
Ford
front.
It's
not
just
about
redistricting.
It's
really
about
these
underlying
issues.
That's
something!
F
I
feel
very
passionate
about,
and
you
know,
Earhart
reached
out
to
me
as
well
as
another
Community
member
and
my
plan
is
to
sit
down
with
them
and
talk
more
about
redistricting.
You
know
representation
matter,
but
also
listening
to
each
other.
So
I'm
excited
to
do
more
research
and
work
with
my
community
about
that.
So
if
I
become
city,
council
I
have
a
clear
stance
that
represent
our
Ward
one
people
and
we'll
run
families
and
everyone
there.
G
Yeah
I'm
I'm
a
map
nerd,
so
I
I
got
I,
got
some
redistricting
people
in
my
corner
who
I
I
nerd
out
with
having
coffee
later
this
week
with
one
of
them
and
I've
actually
played
with
the
program
that
they're
all
using
it's
it's
an
open
source
program.
So
anybody
here
is
able
to
like
just
log
on
and
and
play
and
try
and
come
up
with
your
own
map.
G
G
It's
the
freshmen
and
the
sophomores
who
live
in
these
specific
dorms
and
can
only
live
there
for
one
or
two
years
Max.
That's
the
only
people
that
we
should
be
considering
moving
around
between
these
other
Wards,
and
if
you
look
at
it
that
way,
then
I
think
there
is
a
way
to
keyboard
one
very
intact.
B
G
K
K
F
Yeah
well
so
we
all
know
the
big
newspaper
that
was
released
this
last
month
that
I
was
a
part
of
and
it
really
adjusts
about
new
Americans
and
how
they've
been
really
involved
on
the
public
safety
issue
with
gun,
violence
and
drugs
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
running
is
because
I
represent
new
American
families.
I
represent
people
who
grow
up
the
education
system.
I
represent
someone.
F
Who's
lived
in
Ward
one
for
every
decade
with
my
family,
so
I
really
understand
the
redistricting
issue,
so
I
think
when
I
had
my
me
with
Morel
like
I,
said
earlier,
I
was
very
adamant
and
I
brought
forth
the
issues
that
people
who
I
have
door
knocked
has
addressed
and
I
said
to
them.
This
sounds
like
a
good
question
for
the
mayor.
F
Let's
see
what
he
says
and
I
brought
those
question
four,
because
transparency
really
matters
Bennington
has
a
population
of
like
less
than
five
thousand
they've,
had
an
enormous
increase
of
Public
Safety
murder
cases.
But
yet,
if
the
newspaper
politicizes
in
Burlington
all
over
again
and
not
really
just
a
bank,
that's
the
same
issue,
I,
think
transparency
and
make
sure
that's
very
clear,
is
so
so
critical,
because
what
I
don't
want
is
for
our
community
to
feel
like.
F
We
are
the
only
solution
to
the
public
safety
nor
and
I
promise
you,
the
police
department,
doesn't
want
to
feel
like
they're
the
only
solution
to
Public
Safety
it
could.
It
could
be
collaborated.
You
just
need
someone
who
is
already
involved
who's
already
in
that
system
and
you
seize
the
bigger
picture.
Who's
lived
here
for
as
long
as
I
and
you
so
we
can
talk
more
after,
but
thank.
G
Thanks
Carter
I
think
that's
a
great
question
because
it
is
a
balance
right
between
collaborating
and
and
being
magnanimous
and
and
knowing
which
battles
to
pick
and
which
ones
you
know
you
really
just
don't
have
the
stuff
for
it.
So
I
think
that
you,
the
people
of
the
East
District,
really
benefit
from
the
fact
that
all
three
of
us,
none
of
us,
are
an
incumbent.
So
we
all
get
to
pull
the
same
move
whichever
one
of
us
wins.
I'm
new
right,
like
I
I,
have
no
skin
in
this
game.
G
This
is
an
opportunity
for
a
fresh
start
and
I
think
whoever
wins
should
really
pull
that
move,
because
I
don't
think
that
it
will
be
beneficial
to
anybody
to
try
and
relitigate
past
past
conversations
past
decisions
we
just
need
to
forge
A,
New
Path
ahead,
because
right
now
there
are
a
lot
of
emotions.
There
are
a
lot
of
feelings
and
thoughts,
and-
and
we
just
gotta,
we
gotta
move
on
I-
would
say
that,
though
we
are
all
quote,
unquote:
newcomers
to
elected
office.
G
There
are
two
of
us
here
who
have
very
deep
connections
and
strong
understandings
of
these
issues,
and
you
know
I
gotta,
give
credit
where
credit's
due
Dina
works
in
the
court
system,
and
she
sees
you
know
these
cases
on
a
granular
level.
I
know
these
people
I
also
see
these
issues
on
a
granular
level.
H
That's
a
really
interesting
question
and
I
think
it
does
come
to
representation
of
one's
constituents
and
your
you
know
on
city
council,
you
are
working
for
your
warrants
and
I.
Think
that
you
used
a
word.
What
did
you
say?
Tampering
balances
balancing
you
didn't
you
used.
Another
word
with
regard
to
the
mayor
and
I
think
that
civil
discourse,
being
persuasive,
being
able
to
communicate
and
create
coalitions
and
work
with
other
members
of
city
council
is
absolutely
crucial
in
getting
anything
done,
and
you
know
it
it
might
be
about.
H
You
know,
being
persuasive
on
some
issue
that
you're
passionate
about
that.
You
learned
about
from
a
neighbor,
but
working
together
is
absolutely
fundamental
in
moving
forward
at
all,
so
I
I
would
look
forward
to
being
able
to
represent
constituents,
but
also
work
with
everyone,
including
the
mayor.
L
Lindsay
huddle,
I
would
I
guess.
I
would
like
to
see
what
each
of
you
have
to
say
about
leadership
of
our
community
of
our
Ward
one.
We,
as
Todd
mentioned.
We
need
somebody
who's
really
going
to
stick
together
for
us
I
when
I
saw
that
first
map
that
came
out,
I
I
felt,
like
someone
was
taking
a
knife
to
take
my
neighborhood
away,
and
you
know
it's
a
very
personal
feeling.
L
So
what
I'm
thinking
there's
some
really
big
things
that
we
need
to
think
about
in
the
the
redistricting
is
one
of
them
why
they
would
split
off
some
of
our
family
neighborhoods
and
just
stick
them
out
there
with
people
that
they
have
don't
have
the
same
concerns
with
and
I
I
sort
of
understand
this,
because
I
know
that
this
has
happened
racially
around
our
country.
But
I
would
really
like
to
hear
some
accountability
and
some
planning
going
forward
about
that
if
there
is
redistricting.
L
D
G
It
is,
it
is
a
lot
to
respond
to,
but
I'll
do
my
best
and
if
you
want
to
ask
another
question
after
we
all
answer
this,
one
I
think
that's
totally
fine,
so
I
think
like
to
clarify
I
am
a
renter
in
Ward
one,
but
I
also
still
own.
My
tiny
house
and
the
property
that
it's
on
up
in
Ward,
seven,
so
I
am
also
a
property
owner
in
this
town
and
I.
Agree
with
your
sentiment
that
it's
you
know
it
it's
it's
it's
a
real
gift.
G
It's
like
actually
giving
of
yourself
to
vote
in
favor
of
these
School
bonds.
When
you
think
about
the
amount
of
money,
it's
significant
and
it's
substantial
I
think
the
the
assessment
is
problematic
because
it
was
undertaken
during
the
pandemic
and
during
a
time
when
businesses
could
be
devalued
and
I
think
it's.
G
It
essentially
boils
down
to
cronyism.
I
think
that
Moreau
enjoys
a
lot
of
support
from
business
owners
in
this
community
and
because
he
receives
so
much
financial
support
and
the
Democratic
party
received
so
much
financial
support
from
small
business
owners
in
this
community
and
property
owners
that
commercial
properties
were
systematically
devalued.
During
the
the
property
assessment
and
when
the
commercial
properties
were
so
severely
devalued,
it
put
the
burden
on
homeowners,
I'm.
Sorry
I
only
got
to
answer
one.
H
Piece
via
Europe
yeah,
the
issue
of
sorry,
the
issue
of
redistricting
is
really
critical
and
it
brings
to
mind
what
is
community.
What
is
our
community?
Is
it
defined
by
geographical
boundaries?
Is
that
how
the
maps
are
being
defined?
Is
it
about
neighborhoods
of
like-minded
people
who
have
children
in
the
school
system?
Is
you
know
there
are
many
different
ways
to
divide
up
communities
or
to
create
and
build
communities,
and
that's
something
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
account.
H
The
the
voting
power
of
a
district
is
also
at
play
here
and
when
and
large
groups
of
homeowners
are
cut
off
from
one
district
and
added
to
another.
It's
it's
a
kind
of
a
voting
block
that
that
can
move
to
an
entirely
different
District
as
a
form
of
power.
So
this
is
about
power,
it's
about
representation,
and
it's
about
establishing
what
a
community
is,
and
it's
not
just
an
award
context.
It's
about
the
larger
community
of
Burlington
Burlington
as
a
community
with
the
University
of
Vermont
Community.
H
There
have
to
be
ways
in
which
all
of
this
can
work.
It's
got
to
start
with
civil
discourse.
It
has
to
start
with
representation
on
city
council
and
holding
the
University
of
Vermont
accountable
for
some
things,
but
not
forcing
them
to
change
their
admissions
policy.
I,
don't
think
that's
where
it
is.
Is
it's
about
civil
discourse.
F
So
I
think
three
of
us
have
all
used
to
work
Community
a
lot.
We
keep
saying
community
community,
but
Community
really
needs
togetherness.
It
means
advocating
for
one
another,
for
example,
topic
of
BHS,
so
I
really
like
it,
because
I've
received
two
endorsements
from
the
school
Commissioners
Kathy
orrell,
the
kids
lacasso
and
you
know,
I've
had
many
conversations
with
people
with
school
Commissioners
about
the
cost
of
educating
your
kids.
It
should
not
be
expensive.
It
was
expensive
for
my
mom
of
a
child
with
five
kids,
but
it
shouldn't
have
to
be
like
that
anymore.
Redistricting.
F
You
know
families
in
Ward.
One
is
why
I've
lived
there
for
over
10
years
and
I
don't
want
to
lose
and
I.
Don't
want
people
Ward,
one
to
feel
like
that
has
been
taken
away
from
them
with
redistricting.
So
how
would
that
be
moved
forward?
I'm
going
to
keep
talking
my
community
I'm,
going
to
keep
working
with
the
people
working,
the
house
thing
like
I'm
Gonna,
Keep
door,
knocking
to
make
sure
that
if
I
was
city,
council
and
I
get
to
put
down
my
vote.
F
My
vote
percents,
my
community,
because
I
talk
to
them
and
I
think
luckily,
I've
worked
really
close
with
step
state
representatives.
I
really
want
to
put
more
pressure
on
them
to
make
sure
that
they
are
representing
us
and
they
have
more
power
than
City
councilors.
Let's
make
sure
they're
actually
representing
our
community
and
that's
how
I
move,
how
I
would
be
moving
forward.
J
J
I
could
ask
one
more
quick
one
if
I
could,
yes,
yeah,
mildly
briefer,
it'll
Express,
less
frustration
on
the
emotionality
of
the
issue
as
redistricting,
so
around
jobs.
Everyone
says
we
need
jobs
because
jobs
are
without
jobs.
You
don't
have
income
and
you
don't
have
the
purpose
that
jobs
bring.
You
work
brings
you.
J
What
are
some
concrete
things
that
the
Burlington
City
Council
can
do
to
help
build
jobs
to
help
support
job
growth
in
Burlington,
not
in
County,
not
in
Milton,
not
in
Brattleboro,
in
in
Burlington
and
frankly
in
private
sector,
because
we
we
don't
have
the
power
over.
You
know
getting
the
state
to
come,
build
and
build
another
facility,
or
something
so
private
job
Creation
in
Burlington.
What
are
things
that
the
city
council
can
do
and
then
your
view
hasn't
really
done
adequately
in
the
last
several
years
as
a
city
councilor?
H
Well,
it
was
very
disturbing
today
to
hear
about
because
so
many
layoffs
around
the
country
and
Global
foundries
more
locally,
but
we're
moving
into
a
new
era
where
we
do
need
to
think
about
this.
What
kind
of
jobs
should
be
you
know
fostered
in
Burlington
with
new
technology,
the
internet,
remote
jobs?
H
H
So
we're
taking
those
steps
and
they're
absolutely
important,
and
the
University
of
Vermont,
of
course,
is
educating
lots
of
young
people
who
be
innovators
as
well,
but
we
do
need
to
think
about
what
kind
of
jobs
would
benefit.
The
community
would
draw
new
people
into
Burlington,
and
would
you
work.
B
F
I
want
to
bring
a
different
angle,
which
is
a
lot
of
people,
don't
want
to
work.
I'm,
a
union
member
for
the
Vermont
state,
employee,
Association
and
social
workers,
government
workers,
pure
Correctional
Facilities,
like
there's,
not
a
lot
of
us,
so
we
are
very,
very
overworked
at
the
moment,
and
I
was
kind
of
like
doing
a
little
thinking.
Research
and
I
realized
something
there's
a
shortage
of
trade
workers,
so
we
want
to
build
more
housing.
We
need
more
people
on
trade.
We
have
a
lot
of
young
people
here.
F
Why
don't
we
and
that's
one
something
I
want
to
do.
A
city
counselor
start
pushing
forward
the
notion
of
an
alternative
to
college
to
young
people.
If
you
don't
want
to
go
to
college,
let's
look
at
trademark
options.
If
more
young
people
get
into
trade
work,
then
they
can
start
being
helping
with
their
housing
crisis,
helping
build
homes.
We
need
to
really
make
sure
that
there's
more
trade
workers,
so
there's
more
infrastructure,
there's
more
housing
being
built.
There
is
different
ways
to
go
about
this
and
I
think.
F
G
Thanks
for
setting
me
up,
Dina
I
appreciate
the
question,
because
you
gave
me
an
idea:
Dina
is
Vermont
tech
center
part
of
what
is
now
Vermont
University.
The
state
has
been
looking
at
exactly
what
you
were
talking
about,
our
paucity
of
trade
workers
and
for
me,
it's
like.
Why
do
we
as
a
society,
say
that
the
person
working
at
Cumberland
Farms
is
less
worthwhile
as
a
human
being
than
the
person
who
works
at
ohavi
zetic
across
the
street
like?
Why
do
we
have?
Why
do
we
have
that
mentality?
G
G
Maybe
Burlington
tech
center
there's
an
opportunity
to
have
a
relationship
with
Vermont
tech
center
so
that
we
can
have
our
homegrown
burlingtonians
learning
trades
in
Burlington,
instead
of
having
to
commute
to
Williston
taking
an
hour
and
a
half
bus
ride
there,
but
so
I
I
have
very
limited
time
left
so
I'll
say
one
thing
that
Burlington
LED
in
the
past
and
can
continue
to
lead
on
is
our
livable
wage
ordinance.
We
have
a
very
large
payroll
and
we
have
a
lot
of
contracts
and
a
rising
tide
lifts
All
Ships.
G
B
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Rob
and
my
question
is
the
candidates
tonight.
I
have
spoken
about
that
representation
and
they've
kind
of
identified
different
constituents,
specific
constituents
that
they
would
represent,
and
my
sense
is
that
if
you
represent
Ward
one
and
more
to
eight,
you
represent
all
of
Ward
one
and
all
of
Ward
8..
M
F
Yeah
so
curling
my
job
I
am
the
youngest
person
there
I'm
also
the
only
that
I've
seen
black
female
work
in
the
courthouse
and
also
a
lot
of
the
cases
I
handle
as
female
workers.
There's
not
a
lot
of
us,
so
we
get
talked
to
down
upon
kind
of
Senate
called
sweetie
and
honey,
and
you
know
when,
like
I
so
I
represent
the
individuals
who
are
so
used
to
being
looked
down
upon
and
condescending,
seeing
as
other
and
I
represent
them
as
Iran
and
also
I
know.
F
F
G
A
G
So
over
the
course
of,
like
the
13
years
that
I've
been
here,
you
know
I've
I've,
only
I
only
first
stood
for
election
in
2020
and
that
was
for
inspector
of
election,
very
low
stakes,
kind
of
a
situation
and
I've
I've
held
this
kind
of
idea
that,
like
one
day,
I
will
be
in
a
place
where
I
feel
like
I
can
represent
the
community.
But
it's
something
that
I
take
very
seriously
and
I've
tried
to
prepare
for
and
try
to
be
very
cognizant
of
my
ability
to
fulfill
the
requirement,
and
so
I
think.
G
That
is
an
important
question
to
ask.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
it
is
important
to
recognize
that
we've
all
done
this
check-in
with
ourselves
and
you
know
I,
think
I.
Think
it's
the
right
thing
to
to
take
for
granted
that
we,
we
have
all
done
that
check-in
and
we
all
feel
like
we
are
in
a
place
where
we
can
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
in
terms
of
commitment
and
preparation.
H
Yeah
I
I
absolutely
hear
what
you're
saying
you
know
how
to
represent
very
different
constituents
and
I
I've
been
talking
with
a
lot
of
college
students
and
their
concerns
are
my
concerns
too,
and
climate
action
is
really
really
important
to
a
lot
of
college
students,
women's
rights,
Reproductive,
Rights,
women's
rights
to
privacy.
You
know
this
Collective
idea
that
the
Supreme
Court
is
sort
of
you
know
doing
things
that
are
that
we
don't
feel
is
right.
H
These
are
shared,
you
know,
issues
they
are
shared
concerns
and
I
think
that
you
can
represent
long-term
residents.
You
can
represent
the
very
young
who
need
good
schooling,
you
need,
you
can
represent
elderly
residents.
My
mother
is
92
and
she
has
different
concerns.
I've
talked
with
constituents
who
are
concerned
about
aging
in
Place.
H
B
B
One
of
the
things
that
that
has
come
up
a
lot
in
recent
months
is
the
cost
of
housing,
and
so
I
mean
Pathways
to
property
ownership
in
this
Ward.
The
district
and
the
city
are
difficult.
What
actions
would
you
Advocate
to
make
ownership
more
accessible
to
people
across
a
variety
of
economic
situations
and
Jake
your
first
service
all.
H
D
H
B
F
So,
four
years
ago,
I
had
to
write
a
10-page
honors
thesis
about
Vermont
housing
adjusting
the
crisis
10
years
ago.
It
was
not
as
bad
as
this
and
then
I
had
to
write
my
solution
and
I
address
similar
to
ideology.
Four
years
ago
of
building
up,
there
is
homes
in
Vermont
which
I
found
in
my
thesis.
Research,
however
they're,
just
not
being
renovated,
renovated
fixed
cleaned
up
like
we
can
do
that
if
we're
able
to
start
there
like.
That
is
another
option.
We
have.
F
Let's
take
the
homes
we
have
and
make
them
better,
but
as
we're
doing
that,
it
ties
to
other
factors
like
Champlain
Housing
Trust,
where
I
live,
I
public
support
publicly
supports,
should
I
played
Housing
Trust
because
it
gives
homeowners
a
chance
to
have
affordable
homes.
Theirs
wasn't
14
increase
of
buying
a
home
in
Vermont.
Just
from
last
year,
there's
Burlington
has
63
around
teachers
and
around
30
homeowners,
that's
kind
of
sad.
We
need
more
homeowners.
We
need
to
build
our
families
and
homes.
How
do
we
do
that?
We
support
things
like
Champlain
Housing
trusts.
F
We
support.
Renovating
homes
are
already
there
just
needed
to
be
fixed
up
and
we'll
make
sure
when
we
redistricting
we're
not
purposely
leaving
areas
in
unsustainable
homes
for
low-income
families
and
saying
we
won't
reach
this
Victim
Because
of
party
resets,
like
let's
make
sure
we
do
that,
it's
fair
all
across
the
board.
B
A
H
Milo
was
talking
recently
from
the
police
commission
about
how
math
crystal
meth
has
entered
to
the
community
and
it's
it's
affecting
people
differently
from
opioids
and
it's
sort
of
driving
different
behaviors,
and
this
is
something
that
we
really
need
to
pay
attention
to
it's
the
beginning
of
a
different
epidemic.
It's
why
I
don't
necessarily
support
injection
sites
because
the
drug
is
changing
and
it
has
a
different
effect
on
people
and
it's
also
driving
a
lot
of
stats
for
people
to
so.
H
These
issues
are
very
much
about
our
Public
Safety
and
we
need
to
stop
the
flow
of
drugs
and
the
spiking
of
drugs
was
fentanyl.
This
is
absolutely
crucial
to
our
Public.
Safety
I
was
picking
up
my
daughter
at
school.
The
other
day
and
I
saw
three
people
who
were
hyperactive
and
paranoid,
and
they
looked
scary.
It
looked
like
you
know
they
needed
a
lot
of
help
and
and
I
I
thought.
F
So
last
week,
I
had
the
honor
of
picking
five
two,
where
Cheryl
laced
her
husband
co-housing,
and
then
they
shared
me
a
story
about
how
co-housing
you
know.
It's
very
safe,
loving
community
area
where
different
people
live,
but
they
had
a
public
safety
issue.
They
had
a
concern
there
and
then
their
story
showed
that
even
in
the
safest
places
there
are
still
going
to
be
issues
of
safety
in
public
and
public
concerns.
You
know
and
let's
stay
back
to
Prohibition
we
banned
outcalled,
1920s
1920s
and
that
didn't
really
help.
F
F
I
had
the
honor
of
talking
to
one
of
some
lives,
another
neighborhood,
and
he
talked
about
how
he
sees
like
needles
and
like
things
that
people
you
subject
themselves
all
over
parks
where
children
play
so
I
said
why
don't
we
have
more
bims
in
these
parks
where
children
play
so
us,
as
Community
can
put
them
away?
Someone
can
come
take
them
out,
throw
in
the
trash
done.
A
little
fix.
I
want
to
look
at
the
little
things
we
could
do
now
supervised
injection
sites.
F
If
we
know
it's
happening,
it's
going
to
take
us
long
term
to
completely
stop
it.
Let's
get
people
who
are
working
like
the
Howard
Center
and
like
different
Healthcare
places
to
be
pressed
and
making
sure
it's
being
handled
properly,
while
at
the
same
time
trying
to
decrease
it.
It
really
it's
step
by
step.
G
G
When
we
first
started
talking
about
safe
injection
sites,
it
was
assumed
that
it
would
be
used
by
people
going
to
do
downers
and
then
they'd
stay
there
until
they
were
sober
enough
to
leave,
but
because
it's
a
low
barrier
thing
now
we
have
to
talk
about
like
yeah.
There
will
be
people
going
there
to
do
uppers
and
then
are
we
just
centralizing
this
community
in
one
part
of
our
community?
So
then
people
who
are
victimized
by
folks
are,
you
know,
also
centralized
so
I
think
it
is
kind
of
a
nuanced
issue.
G
B
But
what
what
do
you
want
Burlington
to
look
like
in
10
years?
So
that's
a
question
for
the
audience
and
for
our
our
our
candidates
here.
So
just
first
we're
going
to
take
about
15
seconds
for
the
audience
to
sort
of
silently
think
about
what
they
want
the
city
to
look
like
and
then
the
candidates
are
going
to
give
us
their
their
responses,
and
you
can
see
how
well
that
matches
up
with
what
you
were
just
thinking
about.
A
F
Yeah
so
20
years
ago,
I
was
a
kid
watching.
My
new
American
Family
figure
out
how
to
raise
five
kids,
while
dealing
with
the
economics
and
racism
that
they've
never
experienced
before
and
then
10
years,
and
then
now
I'm
entering
my
I'm
in
my
20s,
where
I'm
figure
out
career
and
like
making
sure
my
career
is,
is
being
used
in
a
way
that
supports
my
community
and
then
in
a
decade.
F
I'm
gonna
have
my
own
family
and
now
and
that's
what
I'm
thinking
about
right
now
that
whatever
I
do
now,
if
I
were
City
Council
in
the
next
decade,
it's
going
to
help
what
the
next
deck
will
look
like,
which
is
where
my
kids
are
I,
want
my
kids
to
grow
up
here.
I
want
them
to
go
to
school
here
and
I.
Want
this
place
to
look
safer,
you
more
in
Harmony
and
more
of
a
community
like
we
already
have
and
we're
already
making
such
great
strides.
I.
F
Don't
want
us
to
leave
this
thinking
that,
oh,
my
God,
like
there's
so
much
issues
and
problems
like
we're,
really
doing
great
work
and
I
know
like
my
parents,
are
even
more
proud
to
be
here
than
they've
ever
been.
They
have
good
jobs
that
they
worked
so
hard.
So
then
I
want
in
10
years,
when
my
kids
are
growing
up
here
to
feel
like
wow.
G
G
We
need
to
recognize
that
our
projections
for
population
growth
could
potentially
be
wildly
off.
So
I
think
that
it
is
important
to
have
scalability
built
into
all
of
our
future
planning
for
the
city.
We
need
to
be
prepared
for
Vermont
to
be
a
vastly
larger
place
in
terms
of
population,
because
if
we
don't
plan
accordingly,
we
will
have
continued
suburban
sprawl,
more
cars,
more
people
clogging
the
streets,
making
it
less
safe
for
people
on
bicycles
and
pedestrians.
H
I
do
have
a
vision
for
Burlington
in
10
years,
and
that
is
the
the
lake
would
be
clean.
There
would
be
no
blue-green
toxic
algae.
The
wastewater
treatment
plants
would
be
working
at
optimal
levels
and
treating
all
the
Wastewater
really
efficiently
without
any
spillage
into
the
lake
I
would
love
for
the
super
fun
sites
to
be
treated.
You
know
so
carefully,
so
that
none
of
that
toxic
sludge
goes
into
the
lake.
H
We
we
have
this
High
School
I,
see
the
high
school
working
and
kids
being
engaged
and
educated
child
care
for
everyone
who
needs
it,
housing
a
path
to
buy
a
home.
If
you
want
to
live
here
and
raise
a
family,
Burlington
I
believe
is
going
to
be
a
leader
in
climate
action
and
will
continue
to
be
10
years.
From
now,
I
have
an
electric
bicycle:
it
was
stolen,
but
then
I
got
it
back.
H
My
paths
everywhere,
I've
had
a
hybrid
car
for
18
years,
can't
quite
afford
an
electric
car,
but
I
think
everyone
will
be
driving
electric
cars
and
the
Net
Zero
road
map
will
be
activated
and
the
built
to
zero.
You
know
homelessness
issue
will
be
eradicated
so
that
there
is
shelter
for
everyone.
That's
what
I
see.
G
So
many
so
many
many
things
I'm
just
gonna,
try
and
address
the
things
that
I
I
left
on
the
table
during
the
Q.
A
that
we
just
had
one
thing
that
comes
to
mind
first
and
foremost,
is
our
goals
for
environmental
conservation
and
efficiency
and
leading
the
world
on
Net
Zero
initiatives,
I
think
in
Burlington.
We
need
to
talk
more
openly
about
the
fact
that
we
are
double
dipping,
we're
having
our
cake
and
eating
it
too.
G
We
can't
keep
telling
ourselves
that
we
are
in
that
zero
City
with
our
energy
production,
while
we
are
simultaneously
selling
those
green
energy
credits
so
that
a
coal-fired
power
plant
in
Texas
can
continue
to
spew
toxins
into
the
air.
So
there
are
folks
in
our
community
who
can
afford
to
pay
more
money
for
their
electricity.
I
think
that
we
should
give
them
the
option
to
do
that
if
they
want
to
as
a
bridge,
to
transition
to
actually
owning
our
clean
energy
right.
G
Now
we
don't
we
own
Burlington
electric
department,
but
we
sell
the
greenness,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
our
portfolio,
it
actually
reflects
that
we
create
our
energy
with
coal,
which
is
I
would
also
say
that
there
are
initiatives
in
this
community
to
bring
some
more
Community
level.
Control
to
our
Democratic
processes
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
use
my
remaining
minute
to
plug
those.
G
We
have
proposition
zero,
which
is
you
should
go
and
learn
all
about
it.
Propositionzero.Org.
It's
really
about
Vermont
scale,
democracy,
town
meeting,
day
methods
and
a
way
for
people
to
directly
contribute
to
what
happens
in
our
city,
and
hopefully
that
will
be
on
the
ballot
for
you
on
town
meeting
day.
Another
ballot
initiative
that
we
hope
to
have
before
voters
to
change
the
city
Charter
on
town
meeting
day
is
community
control
of
police.
G
So,
if
you
recall,
city
council
passed
an
ordinance
to
create
a
citizen
oversight
board
and
the
mayor
vetoed
it,
there
is
a
group
of
very
dedicated
individuals
working
hard
to
rectify
that
through
a
change
to
the
city
Charter.
We
are
very
close
to
our
petition
signature
goal.
So
please
go
to
citizens
for
police
accountability.com.
H
There
are
so
many
things
to
be
grateful
for
here
and
we
need
to
help
our
city.
This
is
very
important
as
a
community.
We
need
to
make
decisions
for
our
future.
It's
a
collective
future
and
we
can
live
our
individual
lives
with
joy
and
take
pottery
classes
and
swim
in
the
lake.
You
know,
but
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
the
infrastructure
of
our
city
and
I'm
I'm,
so
pleased
that
our
community
really
saw
the
importance
of
the
high
school.
H
It
is
it's
a
it's
a
big
responsibility,
but
it's
a
necessary
building
block
as
we
move
forward
to
create
a
thriving
community
that
works
for
every
single
one
of
us,
and
it
makes
us
want
to
live
here,
makes
us
want
to
stay
here
and
it
will
bring
other
people
to
Burlington
as
well.
It'll
benefit
the
university
we
are
in
this
together.
We
are
on
the
same
plot
of
land,
but
we
are
also
in
Vermont,
and
we
need
to
respect
that.
We
are,
you
know
we
need
to
take
care
of
our
monitors.
H
B
F
So
I
want
to
just
take
a
different
angle,
kind
of
update
everyone,
how
what
my
computer's
been
up
to,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
that
whoever
is
mine,
but
we
are
really
informing
everyone
about
what
we're
doing
since
we
were
nominated
so
last
time,
I
was
here,
I
think
Sharon
said:
do
you
know?
Did
you
have
pass
a
bill
and
I
said
no
and
I
thought
to
myself?
F
Okay,
that
needs
to
change
I,
think
that's
really
important
to
have
candy
who's
part
of
the
bill
process
or
who
has
helped
one
so
I'm
happy
to
say,
I'm,
working
really
close
with
the
rights
and
democracy
group
to
help
passages
cause
eviction.
Bill
covet
has
shown
us
that
anything
can
happen.
If
my
parents
were
not
health
care
workers
I,
don't
know
how
they
would
afforded
rent.
F
So
my
goal
is
to
help
her
suggest
cause
eviction,
Bill
to
really
make
sure
timeouts
are
really
protected
and
because
fifty
percent
of
cases
that
go
through
the
courthouse
are
no
cause
eviction.
So
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
credit
buffer
to
help
prevent
cases
where
tenants
are
kicked
out
without
reason,
without
cost
I've
been
really
trying
to
bring
up
the
issue
of
Public
Safety,
but
really
adjusting
trackling
neighborhoods
I've
been
attend.
We're
knocking
synced
out
with
a
lot
of
families.
F
Neighborhoods
suggests
about
Public
Safety
children,
whether
their
kids
feel
safe
to
leave
the
home
or
not
and
writing
it
down.
As
you
know,
I
I
have
some
friends
of
school
commissions.
A
school
commission
board
with
the
BHS
I.
Think
hearing
your
concerns
about
how
much
that
felt
like
a
big
cost
to
you,
like
I,
feel
like
whenever
Community
brings
up
issues
and
Gatherings.
