Editorial: Is decriminalization of marijuana no big deal?

Posted on April 15, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



The House’s vote on Friday to decriminalize possession of an ounce or less of marijuana makes sense for three over-arching reasons: 1) the current penalty under existing law is excessive and has life-long repercussions that are unreasonable; 2) the current law is not prosecuted consistently throughout the state; and 3) in the proposed bill it’s still an illegal drug.

Editorial: Vermont Gas needs to learn from past bobbles

Posted on April 4, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



If Vermont Gas has learned anything from Phase I of its proposed natural gas pipeline from Colchester to Middlebury, it should have been that it’s worthwhile to do things right the first time through. In practical terms that means slowing down, making sure the public is thoroughly involved and on board as much as possible, and putting the landowners whose properties are being considered for the pipeline first and foremost in their priorities.

Guest editorial: Vermonters need to control school spending

Posted on March 4, 2013 |
By Emerson Lynn



There should be a warning sign attached to this year’s vote on the state’s schools’ budgets. It should read: “Costs are higher than expected, and will go higher still, despite the fact that we are educating fewer students. No end in sight.”

Editorial: Bristol's firehouse blues

Posted on February 28, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



In Bristol, there is enough public dissention over the location of a proposed new fire station to warrant further review. To do that, town residents would reject the current proposal they’ll face on Town Meeting Day and look forward to fine-tuning the proposal — or considering another — later in the year.

Posted on February 18, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



Give Progressives in Montpelier an A-plus for consistency in their appeal to add more taxes on the rich, and a D- for their failure to advance budget ideas that stimulate growth and get a handle on state spending.
