BURLINGTON, Vt. -

"The state of Vermont is not going to crumble because there was a prank played on us," said Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vermont.

Some think the hoopla over the doctored decal on Vermont State police cruisers is hogwash.

"Not news," said Nancy Brouillette, who is visiting Vermont.

"I don't think it's big news," said Jason Maring of Moretown.

"When I first heard about it I was like eek what does it look like? And then I saw it and I didn't think it was that big of a deal," said Martha Demers of Woodbury.

Others are tickled pink by the prank.

"I thought it was pretty hilarious. I found it very amusing," said Janet Arnold, who is visiting Vermont.

"I think it's just prisoners having a good time. I don't think there's too much wrong with that," said Brian Palmer of Barre.

I’m guessing a good many cops got a chuckle out of it.

Thanks.

Hard to believe it took four years for anyone to notice. Ex-inmates were probably chuckling to themselves every time they saw a police cruiser drive by.

Yup. I know at least one VT. state cop who thinks the decal ought to be left as is.

SUPER TROOPERS *ping*

At least they didn’t put a “Johnny Chimpo” logo on it.

(For those that don’t get this, watch the movie “Super Troopers”. It’s pretty hilarious).

Shummy is just another in the long line of socialists in Vermont. I don’t even recognize Vermont anymore. It has taken such an abrupt left turn that the wife and I are considering leaving. It’s a shame because the landscape is beautiful, it has great hunting and fishing, the gun laws are about as good as they get, most folks where I’m from are hard working and honest.
The lefties in Montpelier and Burlington are dead set on destroying this place.
The liberal plague is spreading fast.

Sorry. I did a search for “Vermont” and didn’t see it. Live and learn.

—several years ago, humorists in the Nevada plate manufacturing facility issued sixty-some plates with the same number-—not caught for a while.

Cleveland did it to themselves.

They usually do (Grew up and live about 25 mi. south of CLE so I know whereof I speak). It's like family. Just because you love them doesn't mean you deny their gaping flaws. And Cleveland, especially politically, has a whole lot of gaping going on.
