https://vtdigger.org/2026/05/15/vermonters-will-vote-on-equal-protection-amendment-to-state-constitution-this-fall/ Of course Republicans voted against this protection.
Representative Mike Boutin voted against this and bragged about that in Front Porch Forum. He had the gall to say he didn’t support it because it didn’t go far enough and protect people discriminated against for their “body shape”, weight and a few other bizarre things. How many of those groups have been denied housing and jobs, been beaten and killed , and had hundreds of laws passed against them? Not one. But once again Barre and a few other communities in Vermont continue to support the vileness that is the Republican Party.
