It's because of how you're deciding to represent them.

Edit: not to mention you're saying all this reprehensible shit on an alt.

That's what you'd be doing if you don't pay taxes that fund public schools.

Do you ever consider what's given instead? Or is it all about you?

How is more people being educated a punishment for you?

MA residents just got paid by the state because of a surplus...

One of the reasons kids drop out of school is so they can work to help support their families....

It's greedy & selfish.

>Not having to share is normal

self·ish /ˈselfiSH/ Learn to pronounce adjective (of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.

Also this person is single & has no children.

We're American, cope.

One is enough for the pay raise they're giving themselves to be problematic.

Welp that doesn't change what everyone I've inquired about this with has told me: some select board positions are unelected.

You can believe what you want, multiple people who work for my town have made it painfully clear that I'm not.

Ask around. You may be surprised..

Edit: I'm not reading an entire handbook on this. Can you point me to where it discusses this issue specifically? Which chapter of the document covers this?

And you're taking advantage of the special on that today it seems!

There's demand, which should encourage supply. The nimbys who don't want development are the problem, not Americans who want to live in a different American state.

I hope Vermont stays taken from you :)

It's the second least populated state in the country, and Vermont is a part of the US, so I don't really see the problem with more people coming here when the state is desperate for young families to the point that theyre paying people to move here lol

You could ask me to clarify if you don't understand what I mean! Kindness is free!

There are less than a million people in the whole state.

That's always half a sentence too

"Nobody wants to work" for someone who abuses their employees for dirt pay.

In my town several select board members are unelected, even the editor of the local paper told me this. There are unelected positions in other towns as well.

I don't want anyone making any decisions for a town to be unelected, and they are. Besides doxxing myself, what else do you want?

Makes you wonder how many of them are going to be affected by the millionaire tax.

Lmfao you don't like it when I say you're, obviously, mad but you get to say I'm afraid. That's rich! I dont need a gun like you, so what are you preparing for that has you so afraid that you need a gun?

My working theory is that you're projecting. People with violent criminal histories don't get to have guns, why that bothers you is incredibly suspect.

I dont have a history of criminal violence, so if I want a gun I can have one. Sorry! You don't get to if you've been a violent piece of shit to people!

That you're more concerned with their "right" to have the means to kill people rather than the right to vote once they get out says a lot too!

I don't want to say exactly where I live, so here's what the deal is in Stowe

"The Town Manager is appointed by the Selectboard and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Town of Stowe. The Manager is responsible to the Selectboard for the day-to-day administration of local government. He is responsible for hiring and overseeing all non-elected employees, recommending budgets to the Selectboard and advising them, and ensuring that local government services are provided in a professional manner that is consistent with their policy direction."

So it is a thing and it's not just in my town either! The fact that many people don't know this should be a cause for concern, and we should raise our concerns about it.

Edit: East Montpelier has non elected officials as well

What I'm doing is free speech right now. You're just mad nobody who is reasonable agrees with you.

He literally has a history of criminal violence, did you even read the article?

Why do you need a gun if you're not afraid

Everyone who has a right to safety and to not sit next to an armed criminal with a history of violence.

But if you need a gun all the time is that what you're preparing for? Because then that would just be two criminals on a plane with guns.

I don't expect people with violent criminal records to be allowed to have guns. What are you preparing for that you need a gun all the time? Still sounds fearful to me.

What was he preparing for, The felon with the history of criminal violence?

He was previously convicted for a violent crime.

Why do you need a gun if you're not afraid ? Seems like you're avoiding the question because I hit a nerve on that point.

As per the article

"charged with his third offense of carrying a loaded firearm without a license, illegal possession of a firearm without a license with a prior violent offense"

It's not a victimless crime if it's a gun being carried by a person with a history of criminal violence.

His previous offense was not a victimless crime and it's why he's not allowed to have a gun.

I don't need a gun to walk through life lol

Fear is a choice? So why do you need a gun if you're not afraid?
