Vermont Gov. Phil Scott Tuesday says there is too much anger in contemporary society and he called for a return to civility.
“We’re constantly being divided into camps, whether it’s politics, religion, race, or social issues where everything has turned into us versus them,” Scott said. During his six years in office Scott, a Republican in state where Democrats control the Legislature, has continually called for a toning down of divisive rhetoric, be it over debates about the best way to confront the COVID-19 pandemic, statehouse politics or a middle school boys basketball game.
The Vermont State Police are continuing to investigate the melee involving spectators during a seventh- and eighth-grade boys basketball game between Alburgh and St. Albans at the Alburgh Community Education Center. The fight ended before police arrived.
