    2. If the town doesn't spend money people complain. When they do spend money taxes are to high. These activities or celebrations aren't free. But in this entitlement world. I guess some.people.think.they are owed everything. Including a party

  3. Happy to see news like this finally being published and put out to the public. The town still could do a better job of informing the public but this is a good start. I worry about the people who do not have access to computers. But again, a better job so far. Baby steps are very helpful.

    1. Town Attorney is lie manufacturer2/23/12, 5:53 PM

      I couldn't get through the Town Attorney's report without classifying the entire report as fiction.

      lies and spih. Ankuda is an underpaid word smith. WHAT RUBBISH. trash. cow manure.

      publishing what you wish were true is dangerous.

      and BABY STEPS are not going to do. THE TOWN IS 250 YEARS OLD

    1. Correct but not all registered voters. We have alot of rentals in town but they vote and should have access to the same information easily. No mention if they can understand it...but still should have the chance to TRY to be involved.

    2. They are also available at the library.

    6. Vermont 6TH WORST IN COUNTRY

    2011 budget shortfall: $338 million, 31.3% of the state's general fund.

    2012 projected shortfall: 14.3% (15th largest).

    GDP change (2006 to 2010): +8.3% (tied for 14th-smallest increase).

    Median home value change (2006 to 2010): +12.4% (14th-largest increase).

    Takeaway: Vermont shut down the state court system for half a day each week. It slapped a freeze on hiring and reduced spending for higher education, including financial aid.
