Re: “Vermont’s GMO Law Doomed as House Passes Federal Bill”
In a nutshell- if you are THAT concerned about the GMOs- buy certified ORGANIC. Problem solved. Then you don't have to worry.

Re: “Sampling Seven Food Trucks of Summer 2016”
Rockingham has Smokin' Bowls...it's great food, reasonably priced. And there a new place on Putney Road...at the motel parking lot- awesome breakfast and lunch items!

Re: “Scott Says He Won’t Vote for Trump, Lisman Not So Sure”
By not voting for Hillary- if she's the nominee, they are voting for Trump.

Please switch your vote...then you can be accused of flip-flopping.

Re: “CEDO Director’s Eviction of Elderly Woman Draws Attention”
downhillracer has made a very good point. Owens doesn't have to live with his decisions or ideas..He has also stated that he's leaving the area to retire in the apt he is trying to kick that woman out of. This is how he treats a friend- think about how he'd treat the folks of Burlington. ("He said his family considered Canada to be a close friend")

Re: “Burlington Police Chief Questions the Effectiveness of Tasers”
Wouldn't a taser have been better in this situation?

Re: “'Incoherent' Rifle-Wielding Man Posed Dilemma for Police”
As I reached for a package of meat in the Brattleboro Hannaford's, I noticed the man next to me had a shoulder holster with (what looked to be) a 9mm handgun. HOW am I supposed to know he's a good guy? Or that he's not going to shoot up the place?? The whole culture of having to carry, just because you can is frightening. I have friends who are avid hunters, and enjoy sport-shooting; they would never consider bringing their guns into a store, or walking down the street with them. For those of us who are the survivors of gun violence, and/or deal with PtSD, this is scary.
