Letter to the editor

Glad Sanders invested in Vermont

I was puzzled that the purchase of a summer home in Vermont by Sen. Sanders and his wife Jane triggered a negative headline in your newspaper.

I am glad that the Sanders family invested in Vermont the proceeds from the sale of a family real estate property in Maine.

I am glad they will pay property taxes in Vermont. I think it was an unnecessary invasion of their privacy to splash photos of the exterior, but esepcially the interior, of their summer home in the newspaper.

I think Sen. Sanders, with his service to the city of Burlington and to the state of Vermont, deserves better. I think you owe the Sanders family a public apology, but the damage is done.
