An editorial note reflects on the Putnam Square Cynic and a visiting Pownalite who harshly criticizes both major parties.

Mrs. Madelyn Davidson, first woman president of a statewide chamber, says the Grester Vermont Association will shift from tourism promotion to active legislative involvement. The GVA aims to balance economy with a clean environment, monitor Common Sense actions, and keep Vermont’s open spaces and tourism strong while avoiding controversial issues like abortion. The group plans a legislative hot line and relies on lobbyist Louis Rede, with a budget of 36000 dollars and a Montpelier office near the Statehouse.

The piece urges voters to repudiate government actions and seek a humane stance aligned with democratic accountability.
