Have you ever thought about taking your passion, something you cared about, to the VT Legislature? What is something that you think is so important that you think it should be a LAW? Last week, our class thought about this idea and drafted letters to our local Representative, Marcia Gardner, which will be given to her personally next week when she visits our class. (copies were sent home today!) Her visit, and our trip to the State House the day after, will cap off our study of VT Government. This week we're exploring how ideas are debated by doing a "mock legislature". Our topic: taxes on sugary beverages........stay tuned.....
