I assume this is part of the push to make being a lawmaker in VT lucrative enough that doing so won’t cause a large financial burden. As it stands only people who are currently doing well financially or have other financial help can afford to spend so much time at the capitol.

Reply to Propane Tank Removal by iamthebugwan
You cancel your service and they are required to remove the tanks and reimburse you for any propane in them.
They are also under a timer if you want to press the issue.

How big is your driveway. I bought a throw shower for about 1k. Last one lasted 10 years. Takes an hour to do a 150ft driveway and it gets done on my schedule. Not anybody else. Plus, it’s nice to be outside.

That is a question that could have been answered with about 5 minutes of research.

Reply to comment by RamaSchneider in And more on those Becca Balint did something wrong re FTX stories ... by RamaSchneider
I usually don’t engage you because you don’t seem interested in actual discussion but this time I would like to point out you are very mistaken.
>The only reason we know about the FTX money is because those guys were very unsophisticated regards avoiding disclosure
They knew the exact dates of the VT election cycle and the donations were made to actively prevent reporting until after the primary. In fact, according to 7 days this timing is a common tactic to avoid having the source of the money disclosed in a time period that impacts the outcomes.

It was not just 26k. It was the super pac that give over 1 million to her campaign and allowed her to become a household name.

Reply to comment by UnidentifiedAsshole in Just learned there's a law about composting, how does everyone do it? by Dr_JackMeoff
No extras, the crows know the schedule. You could set a clock to them. The fox pays enough attention to know it's a great spot to hunt. The squirrels follow me out sometimes. I live with a state forest across the road and and a few hundred acres of woods behind me. It's the critters woods, they just tolerate me.

It’s a oral swab, not a piss test as far as I know.

Lol, sorry, ignore the second part but pretty sure the first part is right, at least that is what they do at Lowe’s and Home Depot.

Reply to Vermont Lemon Law by 71802VT
Only experience is having a friend bring is a vehicle for the same problem a three times. Told him to mention the lemon law the third time and get written documentation on the reported issue for the first two times.
The third time the Toyota dealer kept it an extra day, spent some time with it and found and fixed the issue permanently.

Reply to what is up dog hunting in Vermont? by zoolilba
> I understand these towns sound a little more rural than most but it's kinda terrifying to think people are just letting their hunting dogs roam uncontrolled through communities.
VT allows dog hunting. There are laws and rules around it. If someone is letting their hunting dogs roam uncontrolled through communities their are breaking those rules.
Don’t condemn a whole group of people over a couple bad actors.

I collect food scraps in a 3 gallon composting bucket with a carbon filter to avoid smells. When it is full I walk it 300 or so feet into the woods and dump it.
I tried a composter. It has never made it overnight without getting ripped open. I figure fuck it.

UPW rules apply to lakes and ponds.

American whitewater did a piece as rivers are are little more complex and they access depends on if they are navigable.
The people who say all water in VT is public have never read the law.

Perhaps people don’t remember when Schumlin tried and after a couple years finally had to admit universal healthcare was too expensive for a state with VT ‘s revenue to afford.
It’s a good goal and I am sure it will be relitigated ever 10 years or so. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it and until there is a significant change on cost or state revenue, it will still end with it being too expensive.
*dude replied then blocked me.
Anyway, his claim is false which is why he has not produced a report.
