Reply to comment by lipsticktracer in Ethan Parke: Senate bill offers health insurance to legislators, but not to other Vermonters by futurerecordholder
Exactly. Gov Shumlin, in private, used to say that all of the legislators were r****ds and retirees. His language was terrible but the underlying point was that, at the current level of pay for legislators, we aren’t attracting our best and brightest.

Same with the people who bought land next to the disc golf course in the public park in Waterbury. They built big houses, moved in, and were appalled that people were using the disc golf course they’d built next to. So, they’ve been working to get the course shut down. Such assholes.

I haven’t experienced this issue at all I find that drivers are great about being courteous with their high beams.

It’s just the hassle factor of having two phones

The gray area is when companies or governments say to the employees, “Use your personal phone for work and we will simply reimburse you $XX per month”. Can those people have TikTok and other social media apps on their phones? If the answer is no then a lot of employees will likely say they want a work-specific phone (along with their separate personal phone). Then employers are going to have to purchase a lot of new phones which is more expensive and more work for people who purchase, disseminate, inventory, and repair/replace all of those phones. So, banning TikTok and social media from employee phones is a significant decision.

Cool. So, they get the intrinsic value of supporting their local community by helping to organize an event that benefits the area. That sounds like a good trade-off. It feels great to be immersed in a community that you care about.

If it sucks, quit. If enough people quit, they’ll either pay more or improve the conditions of the job.

Don’t go by folks in r/vermont. This forum is very much against outsiders. However, I’ve never seen any of that attitude in real life here.

I was going to mention the free charger from GMP too. We got an EV too and got the free charger. For OP, here’s a cost to keep in mind, if your current electrical panel is maxed out and can’t handle the expansion of a 240 volts charger, you’ll have to pay to have a new panel installed. That happened to us. Plus, our panel was in the basement and opposite corner of the house from the garage. So, it was a long way to run the wiring. Our total install charge was $3K.
We are on our second EV and love it but it’s a possible cost to keep in mind if finances are tight for you.

I live in Montpelier in a neighborhood off Terrace Street (upper left corner of the map) that was developed in the 50s and 60s. It’s not even on the map as anything other than woods.
And the tower of Hubbard Park isn’t on the map; which is a local landmark.
So, lots of changes are possible over that time.

The first Saturday in May is Green Up Day. Folks collect the litter that strewn along roadsides, in parks, on public lands, etc. There is usually an organizer in each community who can provide you with green trash bags. With those bags, you can fill the bag and leave it along the side of the road. Someone will come along later to collect those green bags. Or you can just use your own bags and haul it away yourself. Regardless, it’s a great community event that tidies up the state ahead of summer.

I see maybe about 1.7% of people driving with high beams inappropriately. Plenty of people use them and then drop them to regular beans when cars approach but I rarely experience someone misusing them.

Reply to comment by Jerry_Williams69 in What's up with the open enrollment healthcare plans? by buttergams
Vermont state government adds in additional subsidies on top of the federal subsidies to help with the cost of the premiums. This is part of the reason why Vermont’s uninsured rate is so low (about 3% are uninsured last time I checked)
