Exactly! I get literally zero value from having to constantly re-register my car, get my inspections, and renew my license. Sure we should make sure people aren’t driving cars that are leaking or falling apart but that doesn’t warrant this level of scrutiny and fees. They’re clearly looking to discourage the use of single occupancy vehicles and drive more funds into the transportation fund now that we’re being more proactive with climate mitigation/fare free transit and grappling with inflationary pressures—both are understandable but they’re shifting the cost burden to the wrong people. If we’re gonna put up with all of these rich folks moving up here the least we can do is tax the shit out of them so we can offset the affordability crisis they’re creating. The same goes for climate!

Exactly. Point proven.

It’s required and cheap to fix. Unless you live in America. Then it’s required and expensive like eggs and everything else

yeah but let's still insist on needing a front and rear plate, but only one sticker.

BREAKING NEWS: Vermont taxes the shit out of everything.

They pay their non teaching staff dogshit and use strong arm tactics to control the area. I wouldn’t want my name associated with them.

Ben and jerry is about as Vermont as 60% of the people living here

Whoever wrote this is either in love with a mass murdering evil government or just trying to bait us. We don’t need lessons on how to bulldoze live families or shoot unarmed children in Vermont. Thanks you very much

My mom lives in public housing in another state and doesn’t have to deal with drug dealers and people shooting heroin bc it’s for people 65 and older with certain income limits.

Elderly Vermonters shouldn’t have to put up with this. Create rehab housing and put them there if they’re willing to get clean.

Shhhh!!!

On the other hand, Pindrus has said he's in favor of "blowing up the Supreme Court". As a Vermonter, I think I could get behind that, given the current state of the court.

Gross

Wtf are we getting for all these tax hikes? I'm sorry highways with no billboards isn't cutting it anymore....

This is what gentrification looks like. We are slowly pushing out the working class to replace them with the wealthier trust funders and work from home upper income IT people. This needs to stop.

Thanks I had no idea. I will be sure to contact the state and pony up. Maybe I will fess up to all the out of state purchases I lie about on my tax form as well:)

Yeah it’s more of an indictment of the vibe of this place.

Here's a spreadsheet analysis of the fee changes:

If we do this right, there will be a lot of equity built into how we move forward. My argument is we need to move forward and make that equity a foundation of the effort.

I don't believe we have the time to wait until things seem more fair and better prepared.

>> but the social commentary from people that have no idea on what they are talking about is tiring. > >Hi, first day in this sub? Welcome. It’s fun here.... don’t take any of it seriously. Most of these people are not even from Vermont.

Hahaha.

You just told someone from Maine that they shouldn't worry because most people in the sub aren't from Vermont.

Classic.

welp - I live in enough doom and gloom internally - Maybe I don't want to think like that on the outside. :|

You're not wrong! It's absolute garbage that the state doesn't have nice places for our elderly and disabled to live that won't completely bankrupt their families. the places that do exist for those who are low income and elderly or low income and disabled are just like this all over this state. It's not just a BHA issue it's a vermont issue.

I totally agree.

Hello World! I just joined reddit so I could astroturf vermonters into thinking a rabid zionist fascist who's part of a military dictatorship promoting apartheid is just who we should be listening to for advice!
