Lack of transparency got citizens steamed in Rutland, VT in the first place
Refugee Resettlement Watch ^ | Jun 26, 2016 | Ann Corcoran

Posted on 06/26/2016 6:29:10 PM PDT by Ray76

Vermont citizens, who are not happy that they were blindsided by their mayor who quietly invited 100 Syrians to resettle in the small city, have succeeded in getting enough signatures on a petition to bring the issue before voters…but get this!

The mayor says he isn’t sure he will put it on the ballot!

His name isn’t Barack, is it? And the totally clueless media can’t figure out where voters’ anger comes from.

I'm puzzled how this would be something that would be up to a public vote in the first place; is there something in the town charter that gives the public the ability to disapprove someone joining the community?

I'm all for taking voter anger out on elected officials, and certainly for electing a town council which won't hand out the public’s money for this, but - come on, effectively making voter generated banishment?

Sometimes you just have to live with the results of poor decisions by elected leaders.

The mayor on his own made an agreement with U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants to accept “refugees”. Later the town council accepted the “refugees”. The public was not told until after the deal was done.

The federal government pays the cost of public housing and EBT cards for six months, afterwards local/state government must foot the bill. Where is the money going to come from? Where are these people going to work?

At some point you have to start deciding that the elected leaders don't get to live with them.

Rutland has become quite the hell hole over the past ten years so it doesn’t surprise me that local leaders would accelerate the decline further by bringing in Mohammedans who have no intention of assimilating, and who would rather rape, kill and pillage. You get the government you deserve.

Funny thing about small towns. Everyone knows where the Mayor lives.

What’s the matter, white, liberal citizens of Vermont? You elected a Socialist to the US Senate for years and now you don’t want to extend the olive branch for those Syrians, yearning to be free and become Americans.

Do the same thing in every liberal stronghold in the country. They’re the ones supporting the idiot politicians, let them live with the consequences.

Oh, and feel free to drop a few off in Paul Ryan’s hometown.

They are not “joining the community”. The town council has decided to become landlords using tax dollars. I think the citizens have a right to stop it.

Their world will be rocked by murder, incurable diseases,
rape, and there is nothing they can do about the
Quartering except bleat like sheep.

Thanks to Obama and the complicit GOP, starting
with corrupt Issa, Ryan, Boehner, McCain and Gowdy.

A story attributed to Abraham Lincoln has him quoting a victim of being ridden out of town on a rail as having said, “If it weren’t for the honor of the thing, I’d just as soon it happened to someone else.”[2]
