RUTLAND, Vt. — Marble quarries known the world over once attracted immigrants to this small city tucked beside the Green Mountains. Now, a simple quest for peace and safety is beckoning a new group.
Mayor Christopher Louras has unveiled a plan, developed in near-secrecy, to resettle 100 Syrian refugees who fled the onslaught of the Islamic State and are exiled in sprawling Jordanian camps.
If approved by the State Department and others, the resettlement would begin in October and gradually send Rutland more Syrian refugees than are currently living anywhere else in New England.
The influx would be a jolt of instant cultural diversity for Rutland, where there are no mosques and no other Syrian immigrants. Most residents appear ready to welcome the refugees, mindful of the harrowing images of Syrians desperately seeking refuge outside their ravaged country.

I haven’t read this many idiotic statements in one article in ages. Are these people for real? Doesn’t VT have laws regarding open meetings? How did they get away with this? It sounds as if the people who live there are stupid enough to keep that mayor in office. Brought in by “non profit resettlement agency” - Absolutely. Can’t get along without those non profits, can we? What a joke on the people of this country.
There aren’t people in that town who could take those 120 jobs at a local hospital? Or are they all on welfare and not interested? Yeah - let’s bring in refugees because we have a population who isn’t interested in working. I have no idea if that is the case here but that is just ONE of the stupid remarks here. It really will make you want to barf...Guess that will be the last pig to get roasted in that town. If there are any pigs raised in the area, that will have to come to an end!
“”I own it. I took the hits, and I’ll continue to take the hits,” Louras said recently at a downtown pig roast, where he helped dish out the pork to benefit a children’s museum.””
Mayor Louras has an address. Just saying.

Idiots is too mild a term.
Mayor thinks himself king. Where’s the town council?
A curse on the traitors who are inflicting small town America with this invading army of Koranimals. .
I wonder how much he was paid.
That’s why I posted that picture. He’s a walking, talking liberal cliché wrapped up in white guilt.
The mayor is fully responsible for the mayhem that will soon begin happening. The mayor brought the savages in, and bears full culpability for the forthcoming murders and rapes.
This Vermont town is full of people who can not read about what has happened in Europe. Poor souls.
Ironically, I just read an article this morning about states with the highest and lowest violent crime rates. Vermont was number 1, the lowest crime rate. Well, it looks like that’s not going to last now that the invaders are coming there. No more vacations in Vermont for us.
Anybody taking up a pool on a date that a citizen is raped or killed by a refugee in this town? If so I got dibs on May 30th because it’s a holiday.
