I'd love to be proud that Shumlin won the primary on the strength of the county where I grew up and that he represented my hometown in the state legislature, but he just turned out to be so disappointing.
What has his tenure been like apart from the failure to pass universal healthcare (which I'm not inclined to blame him for - the hurdles to such a major policy change, especially for a small State, are immense)?
That's the thing. There's not much else.
Oh, I see. That's disappointing indeed.
The best thing about him is that he's very serious about trying to confront the opioid crisis, but he's met with practically no success.
