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.

Editorial: Overcoming the Neanderthals

By Angelo Lynn



New York Times columnist Joe Nocera represents the guy environmental activist and author Bill McKibben, former NASA scientist James Hansen and 350.org supporters around the world have to debunk and then re-educate. Shockingly, his editors at the Times still allow him to write on energy topics as if he has a clue.

Editorial: With search and rescue, it’s time to junk the jalopy

Posted on February 21, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



Here’s the nut of what is happening with the proposed changes in the Search and Rescue bill, H.182, being discussed in the Vermont House Governmental Operations committee: The Vermont State Police botched a search mission for 19-year-old Levi Duclos a year ago January, and a summer study committee decided the wise thing to do was give the State Police even more money and power to keep control of search and rescue operations.

Editorial: Progressive plan rich in rhetoric

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.

Guest Editorial by Gov. Shumlin: From poverty to prosperity

Posted on February 14, 2013 |
By Gov. Peter Shumlin



As I travel around the state visiting with Vermonters, I am grateful for how well we are doing. Our unemployment rate is consistently among the lowest in the nation. We are coming out of the Great Recession in better condition than our neighbors.  Our revenues have rebounded by 27 percent since its depths. And we are fighting back from Tropical Storm Irene stronger than ever.

Editorial: Break-open ticket tax a winner!

Posted on February 11, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



No one likes the tax that bites them.

So it is that when Gov. Peter Shumlin proposed in his budget address putting a 10 percent tax on break-open tickets, those few who knew what he was talking about immediately got their dander up and have been railing about it for the past two weeks.

At least now most Vermonters know what the tax would target and why — but we’re all just learning the full consequence.

Editorial: A question to put on the radar

Posted on January 31, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



The reassessment by Vermont Gas Systems to change its proposed route through Monkton back to the Velco right-of-way instead of along public roads through a short stretch, was welcome news to many Monkton residents — though others are still peeved that the pipeline is headed through town without any apparent benefit to that community.

It’s a interesting dilemma from a public policy perspective.

Editorial: Double whammy for Vergennes?

Posted on January 31, 2013 |
By Angelo Lynn



Vergennes residents are eyeing a double-whammy if a city bond to build a new $1.85 million police station is approved as well as two separate bonds for improvements to the Vergennes Union High School that could total $6.2 million. The school bonds will be voted on this coming Tuesday, while a vote to approve the police station bond would be held on Town Meeting Day.

That the bonds land in the taxpayers’ laps at virtually the same time is bad enough, but there are also elements to both the city’s and school’s projects that are less than critical.
