To the Editor,
How often does an education reform bill pass on a voice vote in the Vermont Legislature? From experience, I can tell you it is about as rare as the same type of legislation passing unanimously. That is, very rare indeed.
Yet, when the Vermont Legislature contemplated a statewide commission to determine the arrangements of public-school employee health benefits, it passed the House on a voice vote and the Senate unanimously.
