State of Vermont secondary Archives: on Government Reform


Christine Hallquist: Work with state & locals to fix campaign finance system

Address broken campaign finance system and work with existing state and local models to combat this issue. Research and implement local publicly funded elections, rather than solely offering public financing in statewide elections.

Keith Stern: Term limits will slow down path to lobbying

I fully support the concept of term limits. Our founding fathers fully intended the bodies of our constitutional republic be comprised of citizen legislators. There is no legitimate reason I can think of that this principle should not apply to the individual States. I am willing to impose upon myself not to exceed 3 terms. I would work with the House and Senate to sign into law, legislation that would prohibit any individual from becoming a registered lobbyist within 3 years of their departure.

Peter Duval: Voting is just the beginning of active citizenship

No process change or technofix can substitute for citizen participation in democracy. It takes effort, but voting is just the beginning of active citizenship, and citizenship requires education. To many, school has become job training at the expense of education and democracy in education. "School" needs to continue expanding, innovating, and involving everyone in order for democracy to succeed.

Peter Duval: Tradition of open primary voting needs exercise

Open primary voting is a Vermont tradition that needs exercise to be meaningful. With open primaries, the PeterForVermont.Earth fusion campaign seeks write-in votes--"Peter Duval" for Governor-- on all primary ballots. And for voters who care most about our environment, writing in "Peter Duval" for Governor on the Progressive Party ballot is an effective vote to keep Earth front and center in Vermont politics.
