I agree! I live in Williston & have several packages that say out for delivery but haven’t made it yet. I think they are running on such short staff they just don’t have people to deliver.

More and more cars have geolocation devices so catching a car thief is getting too easy.

They get $743/week during the session. The session runs from January to April, with the exact end date varying based on the progress of legislation, governor vetos, etc. They are in regular session four days a week, not five, so your lodging math is off. They only get lodging if they stay in Montpelier - most commute and therefore do not get that.

Their pay is below the state average for salaries and is seasonal with no benefits. This is why it tends to be a bunch of fairly well-off people that can afford to be away from their regular jobs. Just this year a state rep lost her job because her employer was not willing/able to let her be away to serve.

Throw spaghetti at the wall and see which one sticks, back it until it fails or until you’re voted out.

I’m not a fan of this new Batman

Lovely!

Here's my morning view!

How much?

I can find 750 a week during session. 508 a week for lodging m/t/w/th And 345 a week for food.

That’s 1603 a week but they only work maybe 6 months and can’t live in Montpelier year round because they need to live where they serve.

So they make about 83k per year but can only work part time so 42k per year and need to maintain two separate living locations to participate.

I don't think I am entitled to anything- do you? I was just posting out my problem as a random Internet person on a site that is dedicated to Vermont. Please keep on being snarky, and awesome.

Always happy to help out. People with narcissistic personality disorder who think the world revolves around them deserve to be treated fairly and with kindness to be able to seek the care they need.

Thanks, I have had other mail that was posted after 2/25 arrive- but not these three that was "supposed" to arrive on 2/25. I will wait for a few days. I appreciate it.

Extremely helpful, thank you - a wonderful human being.

Perhaps people don’t remember when Schumlin tried and after a couple years finally had to admit universal healthcare was too expensive for a state with VT ‘s revenue to afford.

It’s a good goal and I am sure it will be relitigated ever 10 years or so. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it and until there is a significant change on cost or state revenue, it will still end with it being too expensive.

*dude replied then blocked me.

Anyway, his claim is false which is why he has not produced a report.

Why waste time posting here? Go directly to your personal government valet Sen Peter Welch. Evidently his office has nothing better to do than search for your mail.

Why stop at Welch's office. Call Bernie and Becca's offices. I mean what else have they got to do than important constituent service like investigating your slow mail deliveries?

Why stop at the Vermont delegation. This is clearly a Federal emergency and deserves to be heard at the highest echelons of government. Call in Joe Biden in on this case!

Where? Downtown? In parking lots?

In Williston I have 4 USPS packages that have been marked "Out for delivery" since last Friday (over a week ago) but not delivered yet. I don't think they're truly lost, the PO just has a big backlog and not enough staff. The delays haven't been quite this bad in the past, but looking on Front Porch Forum or whatever it's clear it's not an isolated case.

Negative ghostrider. May appear uninhabited but possibly people trying to keep warm.

In addition, it may conflict with your homeowners insurance if it doesn't heat all areas of the home.

Wood stoves are usually not considered a backup heat source by insurance companies (since they don't work if you're not home).

What's the model number, and how does it control and ignite the propane?

>but most folks I know couldn't get the time off work

Most folks you know get fewer than 3 days of PTO per year?

Then get off your phone and get to work.

There isn't a room available between Rutland and Quechee.

Democracy works by proposing stupid bills and seeing which ones don't get shot down..?
