After graduating from UVM with a major in Political Science in 1976, I became a broadcast journalist and worked in that profession for more than 30 years. My journalism career and love of travel took me to diverse corners of the country. Along the way, I was fortunate to win some prestigious awards for my television reporting and producing on environmental issues and investigative reporting.
A few years ago, in 2013, I earned a master's degree in Public Policy from George Mason University in Northern Virginia. That launched my second career as a land use planner for the Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC). Since 2013, I have been working with towns all over Rutland County to find ways to reduce stormwater and runoff, secure funding for clean water projects, plan for renewable energy, and save money by conserving energy use.
In 2015, I was appointed to the Rutland Town Planning Commission. I am chair of the commission and am very proud of the work we have done to promote working lands for agriculture and forestry, protect scenic viewsheds across the town, find sites for renewable energy development, and plan for the future redevelopment of a neglected part of the town.
- Despite the best efforts of state officials, it likely will take years for Rutland Town and Vermont to fully recover from the economic impacts of the COVID19 pandemic. If we join together, however, we can make the recovery happen sooner with greater efficiency and more equity. For my part, I will work tirelessly to ensure that Rutland Town gets its fair share of financial relief - for our businesses, farmers, entrepreneurs, non-profits, local government, and residents.
- An era of unprecedented job loss and economic turmoil is no time to raise taxes or fees. Nor is it a time to use a meat-axe to sever state spending. We have other ways to make up state deficits caused by the COVID-19 economic impacts. This includes zero-based budgeting.
- COVID-19 has placed America and Vermont in uncharted waters. It has forced us to see the inequities in our healthcare and economic systems. But COVID-19 also affords us the unique opportunity to remake and reform key structural systems, bringing more stability, equity, and fairness to healthcare availability and to economic opportunities. This is the time to reimagine our future.
