I'm on town water and it's fantastic. Minimally treated if at all, spring fed reservoir ... tastes as good as any well water I've ever had. Not to mention no loss of pressure during a power outage. ETA: the cost is not insignificant, water/sewer runs me about $1000/yr

There used to be a unique blend of politics here that resulted in common sense governance. It was more of a fiscally conservative socially liberal "live and let live" ideology that was paramount. Nowadays the progressive supermajority is hellbent on screwing all of us except the wealthy.

I fully support hunting with dogs, but I don't run hounds. You can definitely bear hunt without them. Identify food sources and as the season goes on they'll feed quite often. Bear meat spoils far quicker than venison, I always plan on icing the carcass down unless it's really cold... but getting the hide off asap is key.

Nonsense, the 5 round mag limit for hunting has been in effect forever. The bullshit, feelgood, do-nothing, gun grabber mag ban has only been law since 2018.

Weather nerds (like NEWA) have been talking about this well before the NWS came on board and adjusted their forecast.

I've had Vtel internet for 7 or 8 years and I can count the outages I've experienced on one hand. Yesterday's outage lasted for about an hour for me.

They're not basically a business they are a business. County Sherrif departments with no county government mea s no oversight. I posted above as well, Sherrif departments in VT are "for profit" and allow the elected Sherrif to pocket ket up to 5% of the contracts they secure.

The Sherrifs Departments in Vermont are an absolute joke. They're a "For Profit" entities yet have full law enforcement capabilities! State law allows the Sherrif (an elected position not requiring law enforcement experience) to pocket up to 5% of the contracts he secures. There is ZERO accountability. We have County Sherrifs departments and no county government!
A major reorganization of the system is required.
