It seems like every time I read #VTDigger, I learn something new about my home state of #Vermont. https://vtdigger.org/2025/03/30/proposed-fish-wildlife-rules-could-shake-up-vermonts-little-known-panfish-market/
Well, this isn't disturbing at all... #Vermont #ACLU claims state conducts ‘surveillance and brazen intervention’ into Vermonters’ pregnancies #VTDigger #ReproductiveJustice https://vtdigger.org/2025/01/16/vermont-aclu-claims-state-conducts-surveillance-and-brazen-intervention-into-vermonters-pregnancies/
#Eyeinthesky: The #feds have quietly built #surveillance #towers along the #Canadian #border in #Vermont, #NewYork.
#VTDigger found that at least three towers first proposed in 2021 have been built in the region since — The feds plan to install more than 1,000 new towers across the country’s northern and southern #borders by 2034

Hey, #Vermont! #VTDigger has published their 2024 #primary #election guide. Check it out here: https://vtdigger.org/2024/07/26/vtdigger-launches-2024-primary-election-guide/ Note that one-fifth of incumbents will not be vying to return to the Legislature. The changeover puts the #Democrats’ supermajority at risk, particularly in the Senate. We can't lose that! #VoteBlue up and down the ballot, including state elections.
Howard #Dean weighs (another) run for #governor
The Burlington #Democrat, who led the state for nearly a dozen years, told #VTDigger, “I am considering #running.”
A #physician by training, Dean was elected to the #Vermont House in 1982 and successfully ran for lieutenant governor in 1986. He took over the state’s top job in August 1991 upon the death of Gov. Dick #Snelling (R) and went on to win five terms.

Per #VTDigger
Final Reading: #Bill in #VermontSenate proposes removing barriers to professional licensing for new #immigrants.
“As we are #diversifying our population in southern Vermont, we need to apply that same principle to our #serviceproviders as well,” said one advocate.
Ian Hefele wants the services people receive in his Brattleboro-area community to be #culturallyappropriate to the #backgrounds from which they come. Appropriate hairdressers for all cultures, for example.

BRATTLEBORO MUNICIPAL EMS PLAN
This article in today's Reformer seems uninformed as to the relevant development reported in the VTdigger article below. If you do not have a Reformer subscription, you can still read this article online by way of the Brooks Memorial Library subscription, if you are a library card holder. That is how I read it.

BRATTLEBORO MUNICIPAL EMS PLAN

Brattleboro’s municipal EMS takeover plan may face state review
Regulators at the Green Mountain Care Board say they must rule whether the $1.37 million project requires their approval.

To my way of thinking, it seems at least possible the Town of Brattleboro may have gone into EMS planning with a grudge against Rescue Inc. State review might not hurt any. Golden Cross arguably saved my life in May, so I am not the one to complain about the current arrangement.

Just sent an email to my #Vermont congresscritter #BeccaBalint, thanking her for her op-ed in the #VTDigger calling for a ceasefire. I hope more folks will get onboard. This has to stop. https://vtdigger.org/2023/11/16/becca-balint-cease-fire-needed-to-stop-bloodshed-in-israel-hamas-conflict/
