The real problem is that there aren’t enough drug users, homeless, and crazies. Red states should band together and help out this potentially failing blue city by donating many more such people, to finally help Burlington attain utopia.

Progressive mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak expressed that there is no quick solution to these deeply-rooted issues with bizarre woke claim that additional police presence would increase crime rates...LOL! Call your Senator Sanders maybe he can help. That's LOL too.

Burlington needs the National Guard to walk around and to promote virtue. The vices on display in downtown Burlington are shocking to families and shoppers.

The letter called on city officials to also address quality of life issues including unsafe parking garages, public drug use and needle removal, graffiti and overall safety.
To: MinorityRepublican
“More than 170 businesses signed an open letter in May demanding the city intervene and do something to stop the violence, open drug trafficking and substance abuse”
You’re petitioning the wrong people. Its like asking Al Capone to stem the tide of bootlegging, prostitution, and murder thats going on the streets of Chicago

They got what/who they voted for.
Instead of petitioning Ms. Mayor, start promoting strategy and candidates for the next local elections.

Burlington, Vermont can’t admit that socialism is a dead end.
Not even when they’re wallowing in its consequences.
Very sad.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving Democrat bastion.

Burlington needs the National Guard to walk around and to promote virtue. The Vermont National Guard is infested with leftists.
I grew up 20 miles from Burlington.
Battery Park, overlooking Lake Champlain used to be a great place to bring the kids.
We stopped going to Burlington over 30 years ago due to the drugs and crime.
The last time we went to Battery Park you had to be careful due to all of the needles. Ditto on the sidewalks.
This 7th generation Vermonter is now a refugee in NH hoping it doesn't become the same leftist cesspool Vermont is.

We vacationed in the Burlington, VT area 40 years ago. It was a nice place back then.
