Vermont Issues Get to know Ture Nelson’s stances on issues below: Public Service State government has lost touch with Vermont values. We have prosecutors that don’t want to prosecute criminals; instead, they waste tax-payer dollars to persecute police officers. This provides NO public benefit and NO public safety. I intend to stand up for police officers on day one! State Spending Vermont government is addicted to spending. The AG’s office is not providing due diligence in protecting the state when reviewing contracts. The revolving door of a commissioner or agency secretary pushing through a multimillion-dollar contract before leaving to go work for that contractor MUST STOP. No state official should use their position for personal gain. Government Responsibility The Office of the AG serves to protect the interests of the State of Vermont government and of Vermonters. The US and Vermont Constitutions serve to provide limits on government. This responsibility has been lost over the years; it has been treated as merely “good intention” until it gets in the way of personal greed and arrogance.[2] |
