The Town of Stamford is talking with a lawyer about how to proceed with its termination of Phil Scott’s State of Emergency within town limits.

The stupid… it burns. The town fathers in Stamford, Vermont — population 824 — have had it up to here with Gov. Phil Scott’s dictatorial efforts to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Mad as Hell, not gonna take it anymore.

The tiny town of Stamford on the Massachusetts border says state law gives towns the right to overrule the governor’s emergency orders. The guv’s lawyer says that’s not so. Who’s right?

Gov. Phil Scott said today he and his legal team “feel we are on very solid ground constitutionally” after the Town of Stamford voted Tuesday night to defy the governor’s emergency pandemic orders.

The Selectboard of the Bennington County Town of Stamford voted Dec. 17 to affirm the constitutions of Vermont and the United States, in response to the governor’s restrictions on gathering for worship, work and socializing.

A Christmas tree lighting in the tiny town of Stamford has stirred up concerns about Covid-19 safety and constitutional freedom in Vermont government, state police, and media.

Apparently the outdoor public lighting of a Christmas tree, with cocoa and marshmallows for the kids, was just too much of a public gathering for the State.
