| In the Spotlight: Vermont |
Senator James M. Jeffords is just one of
600,000 fiercely independent, rugged
individualists, determined to go their own
way. A few facts about the state:
|
- Main sources of income: the bric-a-brac
industry, (summer); tow-truck operations, (winter).
- Vermont was the first state to vote against
Prohibition, a position they reversed when
the rest of the country followed their lead.
- Equally divided between Democrats who
vote Republican and Republicans who vote
Democratic, the balance of power is held by
the “None-of-the-Abovers,” a self-reliant
group of crusty free thinkers who've never
missed an election or voted for anybody.
- Swimming against the tide, the non-
conformist Vermont homosexual
communtiy staunchly opposes gay marriage.
- The maverick state chapter of the NRA
split from the national organization over the
2nd Amendment, which the quirky Vermonters
despise.
