This is the real answer. For a while VT had a very serious embezzlement problem. Seems to have gotten a bit better but for a while we were the top by some metric.

Some folks move to small towns in Vermont and then start claiming corruption when they find out that local governments only have a handful of people fulfilling multiple roles. The reality is that only a few people want to be involved. Vermont has numerous ways to participate in the democratic process; from attending town meetings to going to or joining the select board or local planning commission. Fact is, it’s not particularly exciting stuff and few people show up to do the necessary work. Sure there is opportunity for bad actors but some folks would rather complain and create drama than do volunteer work to improve their community.

If you slaughter them and eat their flesh it counts.

Are they hot or cold?
This is serious and important to my answer.

I think you should eat some beans on the bus and find out. This feels like low hanging fruit (ha ha) for try it in the real world and see if it's true or not.
I think they are fine as long as eating on the train / bus isn't against the rules. As someone who used to commute via train I can you hungry people a few seats away will secretly hate you out of hangry jealousy. FYI! 🙂

It used to be a men's lifestyle magazine, back in the early 2000s.

I would say that what Scumlin did to the Dodge guy with that land deal was corrupt as fuck. Not construction really but still a major state actor fucking people over. Coventry town clerk, that bridge on 91, The state heath care website debacle, per diem scam just a few that popped in my head right away.

I didn't know about corruption in Vermont. A report in 2011- Marquet Report on Embezzlement showed that Vermont had the highest risk for loss due to Embezzlement. I feel this was due to Individuals and not some State issues.

There aren't many of us but...
Anyway, I thought OP's question just seemed random AF. Why maple baked beans? Why not spaghetti and meatballs, or cereal with milk, or macaroni and cheese? What's the significance of the maple baked beans.

You eat raw unflavored beans on public transportation, too??!! I never thought I'd find anyone else who shared my kink.

Oh ya here they "appoint" their buddies to whatever dumb town jobs they have like delinquent tax collector to a guy who cant do basic math even though qualified residents actually wanted the spot. Mismanagement of funds so bad it would make you puke. Lack of minutes being recorded, all the zoom only town meeting recordings gone, family of selectboard members gatekeeping who gets to talk at meetings it's just stupid crooked. The biggest insult though is even after they siphon off state grants and cash to fix their own trucks they leave us this paltry pile of "resident use sand" at the town garage. No salt so of course it's a frozen pile of ice left in the middle of the parking lot with no cover. They get pissy if they see you load a home depot bucket up from the other pile but at this point they can kiss my fat ass.

I’d say it’s more appropriate than eating beans before getting on the bus and trapping people with you in an enclosed space.
