  1. let's look on the bright side, Ghoule will never win another election (and she knows it); hopefully the town is still standing by the end of her rein of terror.

  2. I wish Houle was as passionate about keeping her property respectfully clean as she was about riding everybody's ass. I'm embarrassed to driver by her place--looks like the town dump. But damn it, it's her right! Thankfully the law didn't believe she had the right to hit elderly people under her care. For the record, I'm a native Vermonter.

  3. Ugh, I remember when I was eleven years old and I was riding my bike down Cochran in front of her house. I stopped to wait for my friend and Mary came out from behind her house, pointed at me and started screaming. When is she up for re-election?

  4. I think she's up for re-election in a year and a few months...my first interaction with her was at the town offices early on in the project. She congratulated me-said she was in support, then turned around a few weeks later and tried to hold up my beer/wine license...and tried to get me booted from my home upstairs, which is odd because she went on the record a few years ago advocating to keep the space designated as living quarters...and she says she has no hidden agenda...hmmm. :-\

  5. I can't wait to see that horse's ass stand at the traffic light in Richmond (during election season) in the wee morning hours, wearing her orange traffic vest. It will be nice to blow my horn at her each morning, knowing her time it short...Ha Ha!

  6. Wait, so she just came out from behind her house and started flippin shit on you right there? What an odd and entertaining memory!

  7. Frankly this is disgusting and whats at the heart of this matter is truly disgusting. Houle is not that powerful as there are a few other members sitting beside her. She's just an easy target. Its very easy to attack someone via the internet. She has rights just like all of you...You really could be spending your time wisely, like getting a job, creating a business plan, 'minding your own business', or perhaps YOU can run for selectboard, and just wait to see how one small mis-step, slip of the tongue, or backing an underdog...Then you'll see how popular you are and the tides shift. AND karma...someone will dig up all the things you have done or did, paid for, and continue to pay for.

  8. I keep forgetting how much I love the angry post crowd...glad to see they've come home to roost for the winter. ;-)

  9. Eh hm....And your supporters ragging on Houle are not 'angry'. Just when things were slowly quieting down, you can count on Dan to stir the terds and instigate. You call Mary's place a dump? Have you checked out your delapitated corner of the world? How about fresh paint, clean up the exterior, plant some flowers. Shiny...

  10. Indeed...our mural really shines against the dull gray buildings that loom around it. We're certainly going to focus on the outside, but getting the inside ready has been our priority. Mary's place is not a dump...an abstraction perhaps, but my business is aesthetics, so I like it. Shiny! ;-)

  11. One small misstep? Are you kidding me? Mary's entire "political career" has been a series of missteps. Do you even know this woman?

  12. Do you even know the personell issues? No because the public is not privy. Do you want to jump on the 'bash Mary band wagon', yes. Get educated please before you sit and speak from an apparent place of authority...By the way, I have not heard from the LTCM just how, factually based, Mary has been 'solely' responsible for the crap in this town? Name it...Name it? Im waiting?
