How do Vermonters prepare for Town Meeting Day decisions?

#BTV #VT – Increasingly, the answer to this question includes Front Porch Forum.  Ninety Vermont towns are served by FPF and public officials, advocacy groups and voters alike use their FPF to share information, state opinions and encourage participation in local democracy.  Occasionally an FPF will get heated in the days approaching Town Meeting… but that’s how community works.  Ideally neighbors pull together and move the community forward after Town Meeting Day, regardless of which candidates and ballot measures prevail.

FPF is popping up in traditional media this week.  Two recent front pages (one and two) of the Burlington Free Press mentioned FPF’s role in Town Meeting issues.  And Seven Days quoted former City Councilor Ed Adrian today…

In a February 28 posting on Front Porch Forum, Adrian lodged five points of criticism against Bushor, including: “To the best of my knowledge, Sharon has never posted on FPF. Anything.”

Ed will be glad to know that Sharon posted a campaign-related item to her FPF today!
