Letter to the Editor:

Kudos to Shay Totten for setting the record straight on the nonexistent “rift” between Progressive gubernatorial candidate Anthony Pollina and Vermont’s organic farming advocates [“Fair Game,” July 2].

Pollina has been a tireless supporter of Vermont farmers, along with others concerned about the safety and integrity of our food. He was out there advocating for more local food in Vermont two or three decades before it became fashionable.

Jim Douglas, on the other hand, only remembers Vermont’s organic farmers and consumers when it is politically expedient, unambiguously preferring the genetically engineered agenda of his agribusiness cronies. Shame on Vermont’s corporate-controlled media for parroting Douglas’ thoroughly non-credible spin on this story.
