More than a few Vermonters have asked over the past four years: Why is Gov. Phil Scott still a Republican?
That question â and, between the lines, a bigger question about what it means to be part of the Grand Old Party in Vermont â was asked out loud on Friday.
Going back to the 2016 campaign, Scott has made no secret of his distaste for Republican President Donald Trump, criticizing him openly despite the potential ramifications.
Scott was among the first Republican governors to say after Trumpâs first impeachment that he should have been convicted and removed from office. He strongly condemned Trumpâs role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. And, unlike many GOP members of Congress, and notably, some leaders within the Vermont GOP, Scott declared that Joe Biden had, indeed, won the presidential election and ought to resign or be removed.

Smoking Gun? [Re Weinberger Knew of Burlington Police Chief s Anonymous Twitter Account, December 15]: There is one way to get to the bottom of the mayor s apparently false account of the actions he claims to have taken when he learned of the chief s online activities. If he took the chief s gun and badge, there would be documentation at the police department regarding the disposition of those sensitive items. In fact, there should be a record of the mayor turning them in within a day or so of him taking them from the chief. Such records would give great weight to the mayor s version of events. A lack of such records well, just sayin .
