Letter to the editor: Heffernan vote lacked kindness
Out of the entire Vermont State Senate, only five senators declined to vote “yes” on the resolution condemning the use of masked agents to kidnap students like Mohsen Mahdawi. Among those who failed to take a stand against these Gestapo-like tactics was Addison County’s own Senator Steve Heffernan.
This failure to condemn such blatant violations of civil liberties reflects a disturbing disregard for basic morality and ethical responsibility. What disturbs us the most is the profound lack of kindness displayed by Sen. Heffernan’s vote.
