just this once, have a taxpayer funded administration run website that is not a tax payer re-election gimmick for you???
Please … just this once? Oh, sorry … I’m referring to
Governor Douglas today announced a bold new economic plan to build SmartVermont
Quoted from our taxpayer funded state web site that’s supposed to bring transparency to the Obama led economic recovery attempt.
I mean really … we have to pay for your “the governor is all wonderful all the time” spokesbots and we have to pay for your governor’s web site … can we please not have to pay for your re-election campaign just this once?
No? Thought so.
at the Vermont Office of Economic Stimulus and Recovery.
I was informed the office would be more sensitive to such issues as I raised above.
also, what am I missing here?
a “bold” new plan?!
giving public funds to VEDA to make loans is a “bold” new plan?
actually, it’s no different than his earlier “bold” plans in 2003 and 2006; how did they work out Jim?
and when will anyone speak the truth about VEDA? if the banks would do their job and – you know, actually make loans – we wouldn’t need VEDA; as it is, it’s become a sort of state bank; that’s right, Jim Douglas likes socialized lending institutions
BTW – if banks won’t make enough money available, why should we give them a tax break? at present they don’t pay state corp. income taxes; just a fee based on deposits; JFO estimates that if they paid the corp. tax we would have an additional $5 million per year
I guess that’s not bold enough for Jim
The Vermont Office of Economic Stimulus and Recovery sure isn’t the place where any of these plans are coming from .
Any mention of that office in these announcements is noticeable only by it’s absence .
