Your towns tax department isn’t hosted on cott. Tax bills aren’t land records

So you're a republican then?

"If it didn't happen to me, it doesn't matter" rhetoric signals a lack of empathy and intelligence; which happen to be one of the most common shared traits within latest iteration of the republican party.

You can't see the interconnections, the implications, the possibilities and potential outcomes? Can you only see your selfish view of the world? How unfortunate.

Is it a pain to repair?

Mine do get ripped down but I like them over the stairs on my porch.

The test scores are probably me, lmao sorry

I wouldn’t at all looking at the test scores and reading the newsletter weekly.

Good people who are inclusive are woke though, in the best way.

I think of woke as a form of liberal white knighting. Good people don’t need to be told to be inclusive or want a cookie for it either.

You would be surprised at the amount of fellow peers in my school wanted it to change back to ‘Raiders’. It was like 60%.

Portlandia skit about this that applies perfectly to our state, even has the Subarus! https://youtu.be/0rpdQvuAnqM

Everyone is affected. If you cannot verify land records, it effectively shuts down most business- public and private- not just real estate sales... No licensing/permitting, no construction, no probate, no repairing roads or utilities... Go ahead and try to get business loan without being able to prove your location or collateral...

This attack only emphasizes the importance of the town's having their own backup systems or hard-copies of the data.

It's been down since December 26th. They clearly don't have backups, or a disaster recovery plan, or anything. I bet they don't even have an in house software engineering team.

It's been down since December 26th (edit: apparently not true; see /u/mcmdreamer's comment below). I do software consulting for a living and I don't think I've ever even heard of an outage lasting that long.

All these small enterprise shops that provide "records management solutions" to government entities are always a grift. They hire some Eastern European developers to throw together a janky front end on a DB, and then the company itself is mostly just a sales team.

edit: just went through their linkedin. I was right that it's mostly sales, but they also have an in house software team. I guess they're just incompetent.

Standard disaster procedure is two or three backups with one being kept off site.

How is it NOT all inclusive? What a weird question to ask.

"Golden Age" is probably a stretch, but a lot of good folks have been trying awfully hard lately. We finally started to get a handle on the opioid problems in the last few years, only to have the state start placing all of their homeless in our vacant hotels, effectively destroying a lot of the progress we made. The state houses all these poor folks with us, but doesn't provide any support systems what-so-ever, so all of their financial burdens beyond housing are put upon our city...most of the crimes being committed in Rutland are by people not originally from here.

My apologies for taking a swipe at you; I should not have assumed. I am sick of folks trashing on Rutland for things that have been beyond our control, and it got the best of me.

Happened to multiple people I know....driver stopped on a four-lane road waiting to turn left, oncoming traffic in the lane closest to them stops and waives them through, they get t-boned by a car in the far lane.

I don't actually live in one of the towns the article says are impacted by this downtime so........................................................................................................

3500 square foot house including an attached in-law suite that is kept around 65. Heated with only only a 24k BTU and 36k low temp BTU Fujitsu mini split heat pumps. Paid $525 with GMP in December.

I also got a sign-on quote from Amerigas for $1.90 a gallon for propane back in Dec

Look who is unaffected by it, and who is harmed: longtime vermonter, planning to stay at the same place for a long time, no effect. Big money buying up Vermont real estate to flip or make into short term rentals, then roll the profits from that into more real estate buying, yer gonna have a bad time. But I'm sure it will make an increase in pissy phone calls the town clerks have to deal with, so probably not them. So there you have it, the culprit is a long time Vermont resident, who is not a town clerk. (Did I do the reddit detective thing right? Lol)

Nah, still the Raiders.

Cool, I've lived in Rutland for 24 years and still do. Maybe you lived in one of the bad neighborhoods, and I sympathize with you on that. Every city in Vermont has bad areas. Pretending Rutland is some extra shithole is ridiculous though.

Haha no I wish! Haven’t lived in Vermont for a few years now. Miss it dearly tho. Plus it sounds like I’m missing the golden age of rutvegas!

My family was so angry when they moved the barracks to near exit 5 cause of how westmonster and bf had their own departments and living out by the country store means any response would be that much longer.

This is so based
