There are good things and bad things. If your town doesn't vote via Australian ballot the next day and something important is being voted on at town meeting, a minority of the town can make a really big decision. Most towns are now just using town meeting as a place to discuss issues etc. now. Then again you have the crazies or the people who just want to complain. They can take up tons of time and unless you have a really good moderator, they can get out of hand. In my opinion, I think its a value tradition but holding the vote the next day gives everyone a chance to make their voice heard. It's also a great time to meet your neighbors! In this day and age that isn't always the way things are anymore.

Every single time I drive by it makes me crazy and not for the reason most would think. Damn it it's WHOM not who! I know the reason for the sign but I'm not going to disparage any more than the incorrect usage, of who and whom!

I agree but it's certainly not a great pic

Put a post on Front Porch Forum. It's a good place to start.

Something is rotten in Denmark or in this case, Wolcott. Multiple mortgage companies would have to have the same problem in not issuing payments. And since when does a town collect fees from an escrow account? That's nuts.

Tks

Probably wouldn't qualify but tks

Thanks much everyone for your helpful suggestions.

That's a great idea!!!

Have them but they aren't really easy on things. Especially when it's a quick trip to the mail box AND not when you're getting older. Thanks much.

Thanks, that's an interesting idea. Will look into it.

Looks like a great idea until you price it out but I really appreciate the idea. I will see if I can persuade them. It's worth a try.

I wish I could convince them to try the tire tread. I know others that used these and they were a game changer. I looked up the heat mats. It's a maybe. My friend is also VERY frugal. Ggggrrrr

Thanks!

If you grew up in Stowe you might understand a bit better.

Also, why do so many think this is a political post? It's current events! Politics has become intertwined with our lives now. And not in a good way.

Apparently I'm going to be down voted too but I agree with everything in your post. It made me feel so powerless. I have watched what this country has become for probably as long as you have. I'm sorry for the generations that are watching our country burn under the non-humanity that seems to be prevalent now. I'm afraid for what we have become and where we seem to be going.

Go to Brandon House of Pizza. It's better than Pizza Hut, Ted's or Ramunto's. It's worth a bit more driving.

Lol. Honey republicans AND democrats have changed their allegiances quite a bit since Lincoln's time. They are not the same parties.

I think that if you call yourself a republican now you have aligned yourself with these monsters.

I was being too general I guess. I meant republicans everywhere. They are doing their utmost to take rights away from minorities and women.

I will never vote for any republican again. I absolutely hate that my choice has been taken away. In the past in Vermont, I voted for people, good people, that were republicans. I didn't vote a straight democratic line because I didn't have to. This is what the orange monster and his party have done to this country. The republicans are taking ALL our choices away as well as our rights.

It does have to do with Vermont. We are now paying tax dollars to both private schools as well as religious schools.

Wouldn't the most complete answer here be "all of them"?
