These were replaced with housing for upper class whites. Result?<br />A much more GOP friendly town.<br />It is a stretch to see that sort of natural disaster gerrymandering here, but given what a pain in the tucchus Brattleboro has been to the corporate establishment, I am suspicious.paulghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403056340935138611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-80039667759472333042011-10-21T12:38:57.936-04:002011-10-21T12:38:57.936-04:00It's all been a schmaggiggle.

They were stringing all those people along with promises that they would be able to go home soon. That is a disgrace.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.com
