Guessing there’s not much in terms of forensics can be done to find the perpetrator on that one.
Sad really…

I think the post master from Hinesburg just retired too. Could have been Shelburne though, cannot recall. I know both Hinesburg and Shelburne are hurting BAD. My friend lives there and she is lucky to get mail once a week.

The last time I read about a bald eagle shooting investigation, it turned out to be a loon that stabbed the eagle.
It’s just an investigation at this point.

Probably the same guy that emailed the conservation department and said bald eagles were killing all the ducks.

I would think it strage at first but wouldn't balk at it. I think as long as you clear it with the rink staff, you're good to go.

I think fines and taking away their right to own a weapon would prevent any further poaching on their part…

Well technically there’s other options for voting systems but like, ranked choice is the easiest to implement and most effective, so

Bob Kiss is the reason I get trepidatious every time this topic is brought up.

So the population of Burlington that used IRV and then immediately tossed it and went back to traditional runoffs after the criminal incumbent mayor managed to win another term with less than 30% of the first round votes? Those damn Burlingtonians full of obvious BS?

The best way to break the two party system would be to eliminate party affiliation on ballots.

Aren't these birds tagged and tracked? Also Why! It's protected by law and our Nations Bird so whats the point other then to piss people off.

no voting system is perfect but ranked choice solves a lot more problems than new ones it creates. It's a shame it won't ever happen nationally because it's a direct threat to those in power but I think if any state would be the kind to get on board, it would be Vermont

The Democrats and Republicans won’t let us have this because it will shake things up too much and they would be out on their asses.

Good point on wiping the wheels. I was thinking outdoor might be a more likely to have some grit than indoors so a little wheel grit might now be a huge issue outside.

They’re outdoor rinks. I’m thinking that there would be dirt but from other people’s comments I should wipe the wheels off first which wouldn’t be a big deal for me to do!

If someone kills an endangered bird they deserve jail time.
Think about the amount of impact a single person can have to an entire population

The only people debating are the shitty politicians that won't last if we have 3+ options. Voters should totally be on board with this. Republicans, you can vote for a Libertarian without wasting a vote. Democrats, you can vote for the green party without wasting a vote.

It has. And IRV hasn’t, it’s been tried.

An indoor place or outdoor place? If it’s outdoor there’s bound to be a little dirt on the surface anyway. If it’s indoor just ask (or just do it and stop if someone tells you to stop)

People use chairs, I would think a stroller would be okay. Make sure little one is securely fastened in case of a fall.
