Kudos to Rep. Tiff Bluemle and senators Tom Chittenden and Ginny Lyons.

Bluemle, Chittenden and Lyons reached out and did what elected officials do - helped.

No one else even tried to help, even including some candidates running for the legislature.

Pathetic.

Anyone can sit in the legislature and vote to spend your tax money.
