VTDigger: Racine ready to vote no on Yankee now
February 8, 2010
[...]“The continuing news of more trititum leaks and the ongoing issue of Vermont Yankee officials lying to Vermonters further reinforces my commitment to vote to shut down this aging nuclear power plant when its license expires in 2012.

I'm For Doug
Erin Piotrowski, Wallingford
I’m supporting Doug, because I think Doug has the best chance of winning, but also because I think he is the best person for the job. Doug is honest and heartfelt in his conversations, and he is an excellent speaker. He has solid ideas about how to save money while maintaining quality education and social services. His Localvore state tour is just one example of how tuned in he is with Vermonters. I’ve never been so active in the primary election before, but I think it is essential that we have the right candidate this year. Please support Doug!
