Heated Debate

From a November 2020, Vermont Digger article: 

"School board chair Alison Notte received some threatening text messages, and emails that were threatening physical violence; hate speech, vulgar language. She was the chairwoman; she was the one in support of making the change – one of the members in support of it."

"On the other side, Commissioner Brittany Cavacas, was also accosted and physically threatened in a parking lot – at the Hannaford supermarket in Rutland Town. And she was called a white supremacist for voting against the change. So there's a lot of emotion on both sides of that."
