RS is right about mud season. The rec path will have longs sections covered in ice or snow.
April is one of the worst months to come to Vermont, unless you are going spring skiing.

I'm coming from Long Island, I'll play my tiny fiddle about the housing prices for you.

I'll be building the house, so don't worry not stealing one from the locals. This is literally part of my research to see what people who have lived there their whole life think. Not sure if it's reddit bias but unfortunately most Vermonters here seem like xenophobic asshats blaming their own failures in life on outsiders. However I'm not moving to Vermont for the friendly townies in fact further away from people the better. You just happen to rate the highest in the US for stability as the environment collapses on us over the next 20-30 years. I want my kids to have a safe place to go.

And that in itself could be called discrimination. This whole thing is a shit show.

Park and rides are famous hook up spots. So having one near a police station makes getting a handy extra difficult. Ergo hardmode handies

They always seem to know when I lose power. I assume the smart meters let them know.

No it is absolutely not legal in anyway shape or form. You admitted so yourself by saying they "claim" residency at a ski house. VT has residency rules. They are breaking them by "claiming" residency.
Enforcement is the issue here. These folks if they are doing as you claim should be forced to repay the state.

Kinda. They still wanna fund 4 traditional private academies but exclude the other private schools.

I think the real point is that licensing doesn’t make you a good teacher. It’s just a hurdle put in place to protect the status quo of the education establishment.

Not sure how it's an enforcement issue? It's perfectly legal to do which is why we need new legislation to close some of these loopholes.

Curious to know what metric you are using to assert that Vermont is underfunded Pre-K-12 education.

Yes. Similar to what someone posted below, the total number of students tuitioned out to religious schools across the entire state could fit in a small classroom. Like you said, these* schools existed before the Supreme Court decision and they’re going to continue to exist. These bills would significantly disrupt a couple thousand students and destroy a 150-year-old model of education in the service of making sure a dozen or so kids can’t use the system to attend religious schools. It’s a completely disproportionate response.
Edit: forgot a word

Is that a private school or a public school?

This bill would hurt Long Trail more than MVCS. MVCS already gets no public funding and parents will send their kids there whether this bill passes or not, but roughly 2000 Vermont children who mostly attend secular education facilities may have to change schools.

Matterhorn is an après ski place, it's not a date place.
Trapps is more of a date place. Again April is not a great time. If you came after the mud had dried up and frost is over, Trapps has really nice gardens to explore.
