Rick Hube, 61, of South Londonderry, has served in the Vermont House of Representatives since 1999. Born and raised in Connecticut, he earned a BA in history at Colgate University in 1970. Rick began his career as a management trainee for the McDonald’s Corporation, where he worked his way up to managing the chain’s second busiest restaurant in Connecticut. Relocating to Vermont in 1978, Rick worked first as a laborer at the Stratton Mountain golf course and spent one winter on the Stratton Ski Patrol. In 1980, he was promoted to personnel director at Stratton and held the same position with Stratton’s sister ski area, Bromley Mountain. He subsequently held a variety of management positions at Stratton, including marketing manager, director of recreation and lodging director. In 1990, he started Hube, Inc., the management firm he operates today. The same leadership qualities that moved him quickly through the ranks of business have also served him well in the Legislature, where he has been appointed to the House Commerce, Judiciary, Government Operations and Rules Committees, and the House-Senate Joint Rules Committee. He has also served as Vice Chair of Government Operations and Assistant Majority Leader. Rick was elected by his legislative peers to the University of Vermont Board of Trustees and is a trustee of the Chapel of the Snows. . |
Fighting For Tax Fairness
Since 2000, Act 60 has forced taxpayers in our district to pay out $ more than we’ve received from Montpelier in state aid to education, tax prebates or rebates – a disparity that increases every second the statewide property tax remains on the books.
Rep. Hube is the acknowledged legislative leader in the fight to overturn the status quo and replace Act 60 with a school financing system that is fair, affordable, and simple.
What Others Are Saying
