BRATTLEBORO-Rep. Emilie Kornheiser has the knowledge, the experience, and the relationships to do the job and do it well.
Until I read an interview with Rep. Emily Long (D-Newfane), the House majority leader, I did not realize just how important it is for a state representative to have experience and relationships and how long it can take to get that.
Emily Long said she thought she was familiar with the State House, but she said, "in retrospect, I knew nothing" before she was elected.
Emilie Kornheiser is also concerned about aN increase in taxes due to an increase in the school budget. She recently worked with other legislators to find some money to lower the amount to taxpayers.
