As mayor, of Burlington, Sander's laid firm progressive grounding

[Panich52]

The Nation explores Sanders' consequential time of mayor of Burlington:

"Thanks to the enduring influence of the progressive climate that Sanders and his allies helped to create in Burlington, the city's largest housing development is now resident-owned, its largest supermarket is a consumer-owned cooperative, one of its largest private employers is worker-owned, and most of its people-oriented waterfront is publicly owned. Its publicly owned utility, the Burlington Electric Department, recently announced that Burlington is the first American city of any decent size to run entirely on renewable electricity."

1. Good luck

Not to take way from Sanders' leadership skills, but he's lucky to live in a place with a high proportion of cool citizens. You don't see too many jacked pickups and confederate flags in Vermont.
