Also, they want public funding, but still be allowed to discriminate. Wow

Links to these types of threads should be top responses to any "moving to VT" posts. It's bad everywhere, but we're exceptionally bad and this is an important factor to some.
I was told 18 months to get in with an allergist in S Burlington and got in to Dartmouth in 6 weeks.
System was broken prior to covid and then got exponentially worse

This should be the top comment. Letting UVMMC buy up everything eliminated choice, competition and reduced headcount of providers.

Stay on the paved roads. You'll be showing up in the prime mud season, which also means the no outdoors thing will work for you.
What are your particular interests? Vermont offers a lot of indoor activities including water theme parks, restaurants, night life/musical entertainment and a lot more. Small towns offer quite a bit but on a more subdued tone.

Check with your local public library. Sometimes they host DND games.

The property tax credit is actually a pre applied rebate which hits your tax account before the first quarterly payment is due. That is, as long as your income taxes and homestead declaration have been filed on time.

I’m seriously going to delete this Reddit account if I have to explain one more time that I do not and did not like Robert Moses but simply thought it was a little silly & a little goofy. And nichard_rixon was taken

There’s no reason you couldn’t request this info from the town. It might take them a minute to redact info on state pre-bates. Just submit a public information request or go to the Clerk’s office and ask in person.

You are reading the table wrong. The outstanding delinquent taxes in the right column are as of Dec. 31st, 2022, not as of the last day of the calendar year when the taxes referred to were due. Delinquent taxes listed here from tax year 2020-2021 were at least 1.5 years late by Dec. 31st, 2022. This is why I’m encouraging OP to please do more research into the status of previous years’ taxes.

From the article:
> The Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team withdrew from the Vermont Division IV state tournament because of a refusal to play against an opponent with a transgender student-athlete. The No. 12 seed Eagles were scheduled to play a first-round game at No. 5 seed Long Trail on Tuesday night, but their withdrawal forfeited the game to the Mountain Lions.
> “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg wrote in an email to the Valley News on Wednesday evening. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

Spent 20 years in Mass, 5 in Cali, 20 in Florida. Couple of takeaways from that experience:. You are correct. Southern conservatives make traditional NE republicans look mighty progressive. Boston gets shit for being racist, but baby, you ain't seen shit.
Ever see an effigy of a black man hanging from a noose on a gallows, in the back of a pick up with the words "Keep the Whitehouse White" above the gallows? No? Collier county Florida, circa 2011.
Fuck that state.

Spousal privilege is a rule of evidence that allows a defendant to prevent having testimony introduced regarding something that the defendant said to his/her spouse. It does not protect a false statement made to the police.

It's exhausting. Especially when you need help for mental health or have a child you need evaluated for autism. We just keep hearing "sorry, waitlists"

I babaysit a girl who has to to all the way to NYC to see a doctor. I have also thought about flying to Mexico and seeing a doctor because this shit is fucking crazy. I’m from the west and was able to see a doctor within the week but after moving here I’m so frustrated with the medical community. I also think my doc is racist and I have to change but how can I if there isn’t any doctors taking new patients. Also if I do get a miracle, what will happen if my next doctor is also racist????

At least a few years ago, DHMC has different OB teams (pods?) named after colors, and every pregnant person was assigned to one. And each team would have four (?) OBs, and you could request to meet each one if you wanted but at least I had most of my prenatal appointments with the same person and only met the others once.

Reply to School choice bills aim to deny private schools public money by casewood123
For the record, school choice currently pays for students to attend any school, anywhere. There are a not insignificant number of students currently attending private schools in another state or even another country, and taxpayers have to pay for it. This bill seems super reasonable, I hope it moves forward.
