Also, I should not say most… Edit*

And they paid a 6% tax on those rigs now they should pay more because of government ineptitude?

A child gets twice the education at Burr and Burton then any public school in Vermont.

Or Manchester

Government is not smart enough to figure that out and most folks whom live out of state are not dealing with vermont dmv.

You say this, but there are many middle class families like mine, I have two small dump trucks, two highly efficient cars for my business/employees, and a family car.

We are just hardly getting by because of the existing taxes and implementing more is not proper.

If the “carbon tax” goes through, customers will pay for that in another hidden tax. At some point it is too much. What are middle class folks supposed to do when it all comes to fruition?

That is not my understanding of the law.

At will employment in Vermont might make that a bit more difficult.

Open up a business and give your employees a 4 day work week.

I am not 100% following your thought process.

I do agree that childcare in Vermont is over regulated. In my opinion it is the primary factor.

The laws put forth by our politicians closed many options AND took classrooms away from elementary schools which in turn is forcing many towns to put forth bonds in order to build more classrooms. In essence, childcare went up in pricing, taxes in the form of a bond for expansion went up, and taxes for the yearly budget went up.

I am talking about what the person said above. He was saying $5 per hour for the care of the child, not $5 per hour for the employee. I am not referencing anything but what the person wrote.

The child care costs $5 per hour.

Act 250

I started subbing last winter when my kids school said they would have to go remote due to lack of staffing. I sub in the middle school because apparently MS is the hardest age group for procuring subs. I had 1st block 7th grade “English” from January until the end of school and various other spots to fill the day from January until the end of March as I own a landscape construction company. I stayed on for the first block until the end of the year as I wanted to make sure the kids had some sort of normalcy for that class.

Your last paragraph hit my experience. There is a complete lack of accountability and zero recourse for bad behavior. Personally, I think that punishment should be reintroduced to the education system. The school I subbed at (and currently sub at) does not believe in before/after school detentions or any other real punishment towards the kids.

I am fortunate when it comes to subbing. I have coached or coach a wide variety of the kids 3rd grade through 9th grade and they kids are kind and respectful to me. I have deescalated situations across the board in middle school for actual teachers and I still find it pretty fucked up with what they deal with on the regular. I figure some of the respect they give me is because of the many hours I spend/have spent with them after school. I wonder if some of it is because they know I have their parents phone number in my pocket.

I’d say the artery system. *Edit, the process of extraction.

Both parties gerrymander. The gop has a majority in the house because of a failure by Dems in NY

Our state gerrymandered the islands and parts of Franklin county this year.

It is a process both parties abuse, this is a known fact.

What is this?

Investment properties are taxed to the highest amount. That is one of the reasons rent is higher then it should be.

I do not own investment properties.

NEFCU

Nokians.

Others are less.

Those would be $1000+ in 2022.

68%!

As a long time NEFCU member, I find this interesting.

As a contractor, many of my largest checks have come from NEFCU. I assume this was a good merger.?

I wonder what percentage would be considered indicative to national results. I doubt Vermont would be much different then 1016, but it was 61% to Patrick 6 years ago.

These things are worth so much that they could have changed hands multiple times…
