Pat Political: What Governor platform should be

My Issues

A Real Health Cae System for Vermont
Vermont needs a single-payer, universal Health Care system financed by an income tax on all income generated in Vemont.
Biomass Fuel
We need a biomass fuel economy in Vermont, with hemp grown for vegetable diesel fuel and waste vegetation fermented for ethanol. Biomass fuel is a triple win for Vermont. It will cut the pollution of petroleum products, provide the basis for many local businesses, and cut the cost of oil and gasoline in half.
Education
I want to see Vemont schools today as good as were the one-room schools of sixty years ago.
Electoral reform
We need IRV for instate voting and proportional allocation in the Electoral College. IRV offers Vermonters the best way to indicate their full preferences and at the same time to keep elections within the electoral process.
Taxes
Taxes shouldn't be "high" or "low", but what is required to pay for what we need, and should be on real wealth.

What Governor platform should be

Many of my following posts will be the issues I believe any candidate for the position of governor of Vermont should be addressing. I welcome your comments and additions.

The first concern for any governor should be to protect our election process. I would call it The Young Vermonters’ Voter Protection Act, and it would state that “Vermont elections. local, state-wide, or federal, shall always produce a verifiable paper trail, which physical paper trail shall be held available for inspection by the public by the Vermont Secretary of State for a time equal to at least two election periods for whatever office is involved.”

The second concern should be a “whistle-blower” protection act. No incumbent government likes a “whistle blower” and neither does any business. But courageous people who are willing to speak out when they see something wrong with what is occurring are performing a tremendous public service. They should be protected by law here in Vermont, which presently has no such law, and by federal law.
