    Commentary | The View From My Place: You can't have it both ways (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s a rare day when the Vermont Legislature comes together with unified support for anything. But that day came on May 26th when the Vermont Senate voted 26-3 in favor of regulating data centers in Vermont. The House had tri-partisan support with a near unanimous voice vote. Yet when the bill appeared on Gov. Scott’s desk he vetoed it. His rationale was that Vermont already had enough regulatory protection and feared that this bill would send the wrong message. He then took the unusual step to

    Commentary | The View From My Place: What’s in a name? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Communism. Capitalism. Socialism. Fascism. These are names that are being bandied about a lot lately. Perhaps it’s time to take a look at what they mean versus how they’re applied. Communism: “Communism is a political and economic ideology that aims to create a classless, moneyless society where all property and the "means of production" (like factories, land, and mines) are owned collectively by the public rather than by private individuals. In its ideal, theoretical form, communism opera

    Commentary | The View From My Place: It’s more than just the pool (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On July 31 late Friday afternoon Trump appointed judge, Jeannie Pirro, dismissed the case against U.S. Olympian David Hearn alleging that he vandalized the Reflecting Pool at the Capitol. He did no such thing and it was clear to just about every American that this was a bogus claim. What America saw was a president, whose jealousy dominates his thought process and actions, take action to “fix” the Reflecting Pool. The original estimate was $1.8 million, but that apparently wasn’t enough. I

    Commentary | The View From My Place: What happened to us? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For some time we’ve heard from political leaders that Americans are exceptional. That may be the case for many, but certainly not for all of us. I tend to watch and listen to a lot of news stations, both on TV and Radio. In doing so for many years here’s what I’ve come to understand about Americans. We’re overweight and constantly looking for the “magic pill” that will make us thin again. Apparently pills are no longer in vogue as we have tennis champions demonstrating how to properl

    Commentary | The View From My Place: Vermont is not in trouble — Vermonters are (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In response to Kevin Chu, et al, column titled “Vermont is in Trouble” this group advocates that perhaps the only solution to Vermont’s problems is more growth; more development. They point out the obvious, which is that our population is decreasing, we have fewer kids in school and that we are now suffering from regulations that deter more growth. What they fail to address is the root cause of the problems that they believe growth will solve, but won’t, which is income inequality. Letâ€
