Where does it meet with Little Cottonwood's line of traffic? Somewhere in Iowa?

Bit conflicted with some of the land trusts. On one hand it's good to keep from over building on land and preserving it for all to enjoy on the other hand it just continues to make it more difficult and expensive to develop the state to appropriately house residents.

Reply to Contractor for deck replacement? by heartsblossom
Good luck! Searched for 6 years and even put down deposits that were returned, and kept getting pushed out further and further. So sick of trying to beg I took on a fairly massive deck project myself. Took the entire summer and 25k+ in materials but got it done.
My experience is: if the job is under 100k -250k contractors will bid extremely high. Almost offensively. Hey decks can be a big jobs, demo alone took me a month. But, they seem to be very smart and selective about the jobs they want, and take and quote very high. It’s a business, I get it and they want a 50% margin. I’ll do it but it’s gonna really cost you seems to be the mantra. Finding a good contractor to do a small job in Chittenden county is torturous.
The good ones seem to move away to faster growing easy to build communities or are retiring. Mid career guys are 🦈’s.

The little free pantry in Hinesburg usually has stuff if you're able to take the short trip.

Michigan expatriate living in vermont here, and I’ve done that drive. Which route are you taking? I can suggest some things, depending on how you plan to go.

Cosigned. It's next to nothing to park your car there.

No true redditor would use such a trite and tautological example to backup their well researched grievances!

We have a municipal budget that's up 28 percent because the town administer is giving himself a 30 percent raise and he's giving the rest of the municipal workers raises of at least 8 percent. He started out making $61,000 with no related degree and no related experience two years ago and if approved he'll be raking in over $100,000. He didn't like the old pay scale so he just found a new one and the select board approved it. He also wrote a contract where the town must give him at least a 4 percent COL raise annually and more if inflation is higher. Plus he gets $200 a month in gas money without needing to hand in receipts. Needless to say, our Front porch Forum comments have been interesting lately. We don't know what our taxes will be as this doesn't include education tax and our homes were reassessed last year but we weren't given the new property values.

Dude's an incumbent candidate. Candidates only answer to voters and those voters have spoken. Not much more to it.

Reply to comment by Caseyman1996 in After 15 internal investigations of St. Albans police officers, city officials express confidence in department by DaddyBobMN
I read the article. It explained how a department with only about 15 cops has had a string of incidents that cops should be fired for and yet not one single cop has been fired. The things that did happen sound like less than a slap on the wrist. Sure sounds like a rotten culture in that department to me and we are just going to take their word for it? Police lie. It’s what they do. Constantly and always. Please don’t even try to say they don’t because they do. Always. Again and again. They cannot be allowed to investigate themselves and yes, anyone who thinks that is a good idea is a complete idiot.
Edit: and even when cops are actually fired from a department, they are often just hired in another state. The whole system is fucked.

Same. I was born in Virginia, but we moved when I was 5 years old, so all I have is a handful of memories. Am I from Virginia? I spent my formative childhood years in Kansas. Am I from Kansas? I lived the majority of my life in Texas. Am I from Texas? I live in Vermont now and feel more at home than anywhere else I've lived. Am I from Vermont? At this point I favor using where I am currently living, but I struggled with the answer for a long time since people have different, and strangely intense, ideas of the definition of "from" in the question.

Hi. You don’t need the tour but I would just go for Ice cream. I would recommend that you go early or and or use the app for pick up. There’s lots to do in that area.
