The Man With A Plan

By Tim Philbin

So where's the plan??

During his campaign for re-election Gov. Jim Douglas said he was the "only" candidate with a plan to revitalize Vermont's economy.

Really!? So where is it?

I don't know what the Governor is waiting for. In case he has not heard another local business has just announced they will be laying off almost one hundred of its current work force. That's half the folks that work there.

Not good news , especially with the holidays a couple of weeks away.

With revenue to the state down, young people moving out, jobs disappearing, costs to live here going up and taxes on the rise people are wondering where and when will this plan kick in.

There is a need for leadership to to change the perception that this state is not "open for business".
