Just wanted to let folks know that on Town Meeting Day I won my second election to the Moretown Select Board (this is a one year seat). During the campaign I worked very hard to let people know I stand for the interests of working Vermonters and not wealthy flatlanders.
\nThe final vote was:<\/p>\n
Dave Van Deusen: 278<\/p>\n
Rob Roberts: 243<\/p>\n
Reed Korrow: 189<\/p>\n
Again, I would like to thank the Vermont Liberty Union\/Socialist Party for endorsing me. (Note: I was also backed by the Vermont Progressive Party and the VT AFL-CIO).
\nIn the coming year I pleadge to again fight for a “livable wage” purchase policy (I was able to win such wages for town employees in 2009), a community healthcare fund, and tax cuts for working people. I will also exercise common sence concerning the day to day operations of the town, and will seek ways to expand our participatory democracy.
\nThank you all for your support.<\/p>\n
In Solidarity,<\/p>\n
Dave Van Deusen,<\/p>\n
