Save VT's Car Dealers!

Vermont car dealers need help. Ten failed this year, and only 88 remain.

I'm working with my committee on a bill that will protect them from the Big Manufacturers.

The bill is S.51 and it looks likely to pass next week. Keep your fingers crossed...!


***************************************************************
Update: May 8 -- the bill passed two days ago and was sent to the Governor for his signature (which is widely expected). Below are links to two articles on the subject:

Make sure the bill protects them from the administration. A rumor going around is that a primary criteria for selecting the dealers to axe is whether they gave to Republican or Democratic party.
