We already have one. It is to build more market rate housing in desireable locations where people want to live. That is the only long-term nationwide sustainable solution to the housing crisis.

The article said the owner has a tier 2 license.

I believe the rule is they become less cost efficient at 20 or below.

Is the "Holland" part referring to Holland, VT? The only thing that stands out about that place for me was a barn with a huge "Take Back Vermont" sign that I remember from almost 20 years ago. Gosh, been that long.

These shady fuckers didn't even have a license. Hopefully, some names behind the Holland Cannabis brand are outed so they aren't able to work in the industry any longer.

Well, the best public schools in Vermont have a <45% proficiency rate and a >90% graduation rate at the third greatest cost per student in the nation.
There clearly is some room for improvement here.
Why would anyone blame a parent that wants a voucher (currently available in sending towns and reciprocal districts) for an alternative to a public school that isn’t a fit for their child?

Reply to comment by SomeConstructionGuy in How is your heat pump holding up in this weather? by Vermontess
Piggybacking off this. At lower Temps units struggle to pull heat from the air and thus become less efficient and less effective. There are Temps so cold that your heat pump cannot provide necessary heat to the room.

I am a Vermont educator, and this is a very relevant issue.

It's really incredible the amount of people this week who think they are absolutely sure they know precisely the high low and average temps in their city. Each one is absolutely wrong too.

-3. Honestly not that bad when the wind isn’t whipping

I did not try anything from this grower thankfully. I would hope that the CCB maintains an updated list of pesticides and other control agents that are not allowed in cannabis. If they don't, yikes. It's good that they caught this.

I've seen a lot of posts with very little, if anything to do with Vermont in the last few days. It's really annoying. If it's not Vermont-specific, why is it posted here?

This is the result of no rent control.

Colchester isn’t Burlington. They work to keep the sub Burlington focused under the “if you let one in, you let them all in and then you have the Vermont sub” theory.

Reply to Public money for public schools. by LetterGrouchy6053
It’s important to get the language right around this issue. There are private schools who receive public funds due to that private school being the only public option for a specific town(s) and therefore does not represent the specific issue being addressed here around a private school receiving public funds since this private school IS the public option for the town(s). There are, and this is the issue, private schools that receive public dollars and are not open to everyone. Those families argue for choice and they receive a voucher. This voucher money draws away from the publicly available education system that is open to all in that area. I would argue this should not be allowed. But the distinction should be made around this issue as to not lump these two separate uses of public dollars together. One is serving a necessary need in a community and is open to all residents. The other is not serving the same need and is a choice.

Literally just building more market rate housing and this will improve in time

Doing great, I have the pellet stove going as well, but the air coming out of the Mitsubishi heat pumps is as warm as I like
syphax t1_j72vuir wrote
I'm cheating, I still have the oil-fired furnace as backup. I do need to work with the installer to tune the heat pump settings; I'd like it to go lower than it currently does because I have a lot of excess solar generation credits I want to use up.
