Re: “Utah Engineer Comes to Vermont to Discuss Plans for Mega-Village”
I am not willing to write this project off quite yet. If David Hall is planning to develop a new urbanist community, which have been successfully developed throughout the US I might consider it in a more favorable light. If it is anything like Seaside, Florida, which I visited this month, I was pretty impressed.

Re: “Prosecutor Weighing Jay Peak Case Has Close Ties to Shumlin, Leahy”
I am not keen on the insinuations and inuendoes in this article. Heaven knows that in Vermont you can't swing a cat without hitting someone's relative. That does not make family guilty by association.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Re: “Painful Cuts Draw Crowd to Burlington School Board Session”
I agree with Penelope. It is time for a reality check across Vermont. What is happening in Burlington is a trend that has been happening in this state for the last 10 years. Anyone who is surprised by the news of cuts or feels left out of the conversation has simply not been paying attention. What we need is a new educational model with higher student-teacher ratios that produce great outcomes. We need thoughtful discussions between the schools, teachers, education experts and the community where everyone understands that things need to radically change. Change is not just for the other guy; everyone needs to change. If you think we have problems now, just wait until the rest of the babyboomers retire and they are on fixed incomes.

Re: “'Pie' in the Sky: Airport Restaurateur Blames the State for Failed Biz”
It shouldn't take four years to get the permits in order. This is obscene. This is a small state in need of great businesses so someone should have been on top of this and clearing the way.
