Ya Ya Yacovone
This is my friend Dave with his son Evan in last year’s 4th of July Parade. Evan is looking slightly embarrassed, possibly because of Dave’s stylish shoes. Dave is having way to much fun here. I am not trying to be mean, I actually like Dave and am only poking fun at him.
Dave is one of our select board members and has thrown his hat in the ring for next year’s open Lamoille County Senate seat. He has served in the VT Legislature as a Representative for the district and currently lobbies for the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. An all around good guy when it comes the philosophy of Service to Others. And I am not a soft judge on character, especially towards a Vermont Democrat who is also a die-hard Yunkees fan.
(For those from away, a Vermont Democrat is like every one else’s socialist- check out Bernie- while a Vermont Republican is similar to a Democrat in any other state) But I like Dave and find him tight with the money in tough times and a real fighter for equal rights. Not entitled rights, but equal rights. Right on Dave.
I was thrilled to hear that he is running for the Lamoille County Senate seat. I think he had done a good job with the budget here in Morrisville. We have disagreed on issues, but I also find him to be one that seeks to move forward by finding common ground. Something we need in this state. I am so very sick of all the partisan crud. The finger-pointing and the blame game that has gone on this past year at the State House. I want my elected officials to work together, now more than ever.
Dave has spent a good deal of his life giving back to the community and despite the fact he cheers for the team I love to hate, he is a good sport and has my support.
