Sheila Manchester Coniff, Montpelier

One of the many reasons I support Doug Racine for Governor is his integrity. While his stance on Health Care, the Economy and support of our most disadvantaged are important, none of that matters if you can’t count on what he says and Doug Racine only says what he believes. You won’t find him telling you what you want to hear. Witness him stand in front of a room full of State Employees, Teachers and other Labor folk, to answer the question, if Governor, would you cut more State Jobs. All four of his opponents unequivocally declared “no more cuts”. Doug Racine stated [and I'm paraphrasing here] “I can’t tell what the future will bring. I can say I think the State workforce has been cut below the level it needs to be to support the services Vermont needs. But I can’t say I’ll never cut another State job because I don’t know what might happen.” Now that is a stance that took courage considering the audience and the climate of the day. But Doug Racine says what he believes, not what he thinks you want to hear. That’s one of the main reasons I support him for our next Governor.
