Okay, roll with me here....

He’s a former college athlete and Winter Olympian who went on to win multiple gold medals and multiple Olympics, coached the US Olympic team for his sport for a time, went back to Vermont to coach his college’s team and lead them to victory... just a fantastic sports guy all around. Along the way, he served on a state commission on physical education and served as an advocate for physical education and youth sports.

Whenever he ended up running for Governor, and winning, his biggest controversy would be being a friend of the skiing industry and backing ever-larger ski resorts.

I like it. Middlebury College could be a good idea- they have one of the best college ski teams in the country, and have produced a number of Olympic athletes

Compared to every other playable Midwestern Governor, Burgun is the only one taking the floods seriously.

I see the “find a co-sponsor across ideological lines” plan is not being received... positively :(

Was it too blunt of a way to solve the problem?

Middlebury would be cool, had a fun time there!

Vermont or Massachusetts could be fun in my opinion.
