How Vermont Treasurer Mike Pieciak recovered $38,000 for a resident - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In his three years as state treasurer, one of Mike Pieciak’s proudest moments started with a list of names and allegations of a scam. He’d planned to attend the Putney Town Meeting two years ago, and part of his usual routine for visiting anywhere in Vermont was bringing along a printed copy of the state’s unclaimed property database for that community. But one line jumped out at him: A man with $38,000 waiting for him in the state account. Not wanting to wait on a chance, he used some family co

Read excerpt
BARRE, Vt. — On a cool, damp morning in Barre, Vt., Amber Collett Terway harvested her resin calendula flowers with nothing but a plastic bin and her bare hands. The sticky yellow flowers, valued for their medicinal properties, were destined for one of Terway’s “Quiet Mind” tea blends sold through her small-batch tea company, Tilia Tea. The land she grows the flowers on came to her through an unusual arrangement: The property owner, who happens to be a member of the Barre City Council, allowed T
