To the editor: A vote for Milne is a vote for Vermont’s future

As a young adult living in Vermont, I feel so privileged to reside in a state filled with natural beauty, rich history and kind-hearted people. However, like many young Vermonters, I’m at a crossroads over where I plan to live as I approach the next stage in my life. The direction of our state government is an important factor in my decision, as it is for many other young Vermont residents. I want to live in a state with economic security, employment opportunities,and a quality education system.

Scott Milne, candidate for governor, is committed to these goals. Milne believes in a government committed to common sense and practical thinking, rather than status-quo politics, in determining which solutions are best for Vermont.

He will take a business-oriented approach to fix our state’s rising unemployment rate, slow economic growth and multi-billion dollar budget deficit. Milne will create a business-friendly Vermont by reducing burdensome regulations and taxes, thus providing economic certainty to small business owners. He will also reform our broken education system to improve school quality and reduce costs.

Milne is a small business owner, father and supporter of more than 100 civic and non-profit organizations, with family roots in Vermont dating back 100 years. Former Vermont Gov. James Douglas, as well as dozens of legislators, have endorsed Milne for his common sense solutions. I ask my fellow Vermonters to do the same by voting for Scott Milne for governor on Nov. 4.
