Re: “Footage Shows Feds Using Ethnic Slur During Traffic Stop”
Seems to me the point of the article is that the law enforcement officer was classifying individual human beings in derogatory and prejudicial terms. It is unprofessional and a disgrace to the people the officer is sworn to protect and serve. I find that alone is cause for disciplinary action.

Re: “No Truckin' Way! Downtown Burlington Restaurateurs Say No to More Food Trucks”
Let me see what I remember... Kountry Kart Deli, Ali Ka-babs, Skinny Pancake and who else? started as an alternative to restaurant fare. Even non-food business have started this way... think VT Teddy Bear. Next thing the restaurants will want to control is what? Selling ice cream from an old gas station? I wonder what Ben & Jerry would say. The city best think this one trough very carefully. It is not an issue of being fair or unfair. It is an issue of catering to those who complain about what they perceive as a loss and capitulating to the more powerful, influential voices rather than being objective.
