Miro Weinberger statement on Carina Driscoll and Infinite Culcleasure entering mayor's race

Vermont Business Magazine Mayor Miro Weinberger released the following statement today in response to the announcements of Carina Driscoll and Infinite Culcleasure: "I welcome Carina Driscoll and Infinite Culcleasure to the mayor's race. Burlingtonians deserve healthy democratic debate and real choice at the ballot box. Over the next three months, I look forward to discussing the progress we've made over the last six years—progress that has made our city more equitable, environmentally sustainable, and stronger and has built a foundation for even greater successes to come. We have shown again and again that it is possible to make Burlington better for the middle class and our most vulnerable while also keeping tax rates low and restoring the city’s finances. I welcome a spirited debate about the best way forward for our city, at a time when the institutions and beliefs that have bound us together and strengthened our nation are under attack. The thoughtful,steady,decisive leadership that has guided us through so many challenges in recent years is needed now more than ever.”
