21. One of the best answers!
Is the true record of his getting out? I just read about his fighting everyone in Vermont to get better schools and not raising taxes to do it. He raised property taxes, BUT, only on the people who did not live in the state full time, those who had vacation property. Those who lived there, were given "homestead/grandfather claims" and so the taxes did not apply to them. Brilliant! He did it to make sure that all the children from all over the state had the same quality education as those in the "golden areas", where property taxes paid more into the school district, because of the more costly homes. This is the type of fighting we need! Someone who will take on the special interests.
