  • Building the Progressive City: Third Sector Housing in Burlington By
    Building the Progressive City: Third Sector Housing in Burlington By John Emmeus Davis Two months after Ronald Reagan assumed office as the fortieth president of the United States, Bernie Sanders was elected the thirty-second mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Both men remained in office for eight years. When Reagan stepped down in 1989, his policies and programs were continued by his vice-president, who was elevated to the presidency by the same conservative coalition that had supported Reagan. Sanders stepped down in 1989 after serving four two-year terms as mayor. His policies and programs were continued by Peter Clavelle, who had served as Sanders’s director of community and economic development. Clavelle was carried into office on the shoulders of Burlington’s “Progressive Coalition,’ the same third-party movement that had supported Sanders. There is considerable irony in the fact that the decade of the “Reagan revolution” in Washington was also the decade of “Sanderista” rule in Burlington. These two political movements had little in common. Their leaders, Reagan and Sanders, shared even less. Indeed, it would have been difficult to find two elected officials anywhere in the United States during the 1980s who were further apart in background, ideology, and political agenda. The man elected president was a middle-class midwesterner of Irish descent whose entire career, first in the movies and then in politics, had been heavily bankrolled and carefully scripted by men of wealth and power. Ronald Reagan was the most conservative politician to occupy the White House in fifty years, a person whose entire political philosophy was built around the single idea that private individuals and private markets could solve nearly every problem of poverty, unemployment, and injustice if government would just stop meddling in matters that were not its proper concern.

  • Instant Runoff Voting Report 2006 Mayoral
    The Vermont Legislative Research Shop Instant Runoff Voting On March 7, 2006 the city of Burlington, Vermont utilized an instant run off voting system (IRV) to select its mayor. As a result Burlington’s mayor, Bob Kiss, is currently the only executive office holder in the US to be selected by the instant runoff voting system. The purpose of this report is to present the results of an exit poll The Vermont Legislative Research Shop conducted on the March 7th election. Before discussing the election and exit poll we will examine the use of IRV in other political jurisdictions and paradoxes associated with this type of voting system. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) is also known as Alternative Voting, Ranked Choice, Preferential Voting, or the Hare System. For the purposes of this report we will refer to the system as IRV. IRV describes an electoral process in which voters can rank choices for a political office on a ballot. If one candidate is ranked first by over 50% of the voters, that candidate wins and the election is over. If no candidate receives over 50% of the votes in the first ranking then the candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated. The second rankings of voters who voted for the eliminated candidate are allotted to the remaining candidates. This process continues until one candidate receives over 50% of the vote. The first use on record of IRV was the colony of Queensland, Australia in 1893. The IRV method is presently used for electing the Australian House of Representatives. The President of Ireland is currently elected using IRV, as well as the Papua New Guinea National Parliament and the Fijian House of Representatives.1 Experience with IRV in the US IRV is used by several US cities, including: San Francisco, California for its Board of Selectmen election in 2004 and Cambridge, Massachusetts for its city council elections.
