Outraged at Removal of McFaun
(by Jeremiah P. Reilly Montpelier - January 21, 2009)
Editor:
I am not shocked at the removal of Rep. Topper McFaun (R-Barre) from the Vermont House Health Care Committee by newly-elected Vermont House Speaker Shap Smith. I am outraged, but not shocked.
Topper McFaun has been courageous in addressing the health care crisis in Vermont. I am not shocked at Speaker Smith's behavior because it is clear that two groups live in America: Those who want to address the health care problem and those who ask, "What problem?"
Why do those who ask "What problem?" get to thwart those who want to provide universal health insurance and bolster the American business environment. Why?
