    GOVERNORS The National Mood and the Seats in Play: Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections By Jennifer M.

Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions. For their part, Democrats had a realistic chance to convert only a couple of Republican governorships to their party. Given the party’s win-loss potential, Republicans were optimistic, in a good position.

  • EAI Newsletter, August 2016 Printable Version
    Ethan Allen Institute Newsletter – August 2016 (Printer Edition) Top Story: Help Us Warn Vermonters About the Carbon Tax We need to raise $10,000 for a media campaign that will get the facts out about the Carbon Tax. You know that a costly Carbon Tax on gasoline, diesel, home heating oil, propane, and natural gas will hurt Vermont’s families, businesses and our economy. When people find out that a Carbon Tax will add 88¢ to every gallon of gasoline and $1.02 to every gallon of home heating fuel, they overwhelmingly oppose the idea. Unfortunately, the left wing activist group VPIRG has sent over 50 “interns” door to door throughout the summer to mislead Vermonters into supporting what they call “Carbon Pricing” – no mention of how much the Carbon Tax will cost, or who will end up paying for it. Just the misleading claim that it will save the planet. We need to counter that propaganda with facts. And, this means we need to launch a paid media campaign that will educate Vermonters about the true nature of a statewide Carbon Tax. The Ethan Allen Institute has been a leading voice in Vermont warning our citizens about the proposed Carbon Tax and its inevitably harmful impacts on our state, if passed. Can we count on you to help us raise the $10,000 we need to launch a statewide radio and social media campaign? The next $5000 we receive for this effort will be matched, dollar for dollar, by a concerned contributor, so act now and double your impact! In January of 2015 The Ethan Allen Institute launched a statewide radio campaign alerting Vermonters to the fact that a Carbon Tax was on the table and what it meant for Vermont’s economic future.
