Title: more from Montpelier
Post by: Carolyn Branagan on April 25, 2005, 12:35:47 PM

Thanks  to  those  who contacted me  regarding last  week's  main  topic: health care. The  bill is now on to the Senate where it  is expected to be  referred to the Health and Welfare Committee. Your input helps me to really  "represent" your ideas in Montpelier.

We are expecting to adjourn in  3-4 weeks, though I'm hoping it  will be before that.  The lack  of willingness to compromise that I observed  last week does  not serve the people of this state well, and  the sooner  we adjourn the better  for all.

Some  BFA Fairfax  highschoolers are coming to visit  the statehouse  this  week.   I  am alway  inmpressed with how well prepared Mr. Gilbert's students are!   I'm  looking forward to  seeing them.

from,  
Representative Carolyn Branagan
Franklin-1, Fairfax/Georgia
Vermont House  of Representatives

Title: Thanks for the Updates, and Some Questions

Hi Carolyn,

I really appreciate all the efforts you make to be available and to communicate with those you represent.  That's the "thanks" part.

Now, the questions part...

How did you end up voting on the health care bill?  What was your rationale?  What compromises could have been made in this case to improve the output?  I have no preconceived notions on this topic, and I'm really interested in what you think.

Thanks again,
Clarice Streets
