BRATTLEBORO-The cronyism shown by the town of Brattleboro in the face of Kurt Daims's noble effort to house the homeless is disgusting and available for all to see.
Shame on hypocrites to claim to be patriotic, law-abiding citizens who in reality stab their neighbor in the back.
Shame on the town for pretending there is no housing crisis in Brattleboro, as if that were by definition different from a crisis of homelessness.
The state of Vermont has more homeless people per capita (5.1 people per 1,000) than the state of California (4.6 people per 1,000).
Shame on you, Brattleboro.
