GUILFORD-Those of us who live in Guilford and Vernon are quite fortunate to have many citizens willing to volunteer their time and talent to benefit all who live here.

Their agenda seems to always be top down, not bottom up.

Kornheiser: justice, compassion, and our shared belief in a thriving Vermont
BRATTLEBORO-By fighting for programs for the most marginalized, Rep. Emilie Kornheiser ensures a better quality of life for every Vermonter. My own family has benefited from such programs.
