Bernie Sanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During his first term, supporters of Sanders formed the Progressive Coalition, forerunner of Vermont's Progressive Party. The Progressives never held more than six seats on the 13-member city council, but it was enough to keep the council from overriding Sanders' vetoes. Under Sanders, Burlington became the first city in the country to fund community-trust housing. His administration also sued the local cable provider and won considerably reduced rates and a substantial cash settlement.
