Congressman Peter Welch Coming to Fairfax

[special ED]

I dont understand? nice about me or nice about welch?

[Chris Santee]

Happy Saturday !
What we have here folks, I believe is some confusion.

Ed, the plan unveiled by Welch was actually cooked up by farmers
and wasn't well received the first time around, but
after some thought, the farmers are for this.
It is nothing being forced on them by government.
It is NOT a BAILOUT ! This is not welfare.

Welch stated Friday that this was "not set in stone yet",
but the idea is to control production.

Let's see what the actual Bill says and we can debate it then.

I dont know chris but whenever I see one of the three stooges on local tv with regular people it means more spending and more welfare for some group

Henry      I would take exception to the implication that Ralph McNall and many of the prominent Dairy personnel , both past ( Woodwards, Bellows, Toof, Boissoneault, Boucher and Besette families ) and present , are of the same cut of cloth as Rep. Welch is erroneous. Unfortunately, it seems to me that Vermont farmers are given the short end of the stick, politically, and any attempt to salvage this important vocation in the Northeast, is an avenue worth exploring for both ourselves and our region.
I have a great admiration for Senators Leahy and Sanders, who have through the years have demonstrated their concern for our welfare , and perhaps Welch will grow into his job ; however, he seems to have thrown his weight into this proposal and one can only hope that he has no ulterior purpose. 

[Henry]

My personal opinion, although I try not to throw it in here that much, is that Peter Welch gets in on any opportunity for a Photo Shoot and even at times takes credit for things he had nothing to do with.  Just my opinion from different observations.

...And I was naive enough to believe that all Vermonters supported family farms...

[special ED]

depends on your definition of support
