  • Serious Problems

    Many people, including myself, are starting to get their offers to pre-buy home heating fuel for the upcoming winter. My offer was almost 35% higher than what I paid just 6 months ago. Others are telling me they are paying 50% to 70% more than they pre-ordered last year. And winter pre-buying is usually supposed to be a discount – so it makes many of us wonder what this winter might have in store.

    But as bad as it will be for Vermonters to be paying hundreds more to get warm this winter, one thing to be thankful for is that if we had been missing just one Republican legislator last May to help sustain Gov. Scott’s veto on a new carbon tax, home heating fuel might have been even more expensive.

  • As Deadline Nears for Vote on Gas-Diesel Car Sale Ban, Key Lawmakers Seem Unaware

    Other states backing off from joining California 2035 ban

    by Guy Page

    Many adults share a recurring nightmare that they are back in school, the final exam is upon them, and they haven’t even attended the class all year long. They are going to fail! The eight members of the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules (LCAR) may be living that nightmare over a major rule change in Vermont that would begin restricting the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in 2026 leading up to an outright ban on such sales after 2035.

The closest physical meeting to our district will take place this Wednesday, September 22, 5:00-7:00pm: Emerald Lake State Park Pavilion, 65 Emerald Lake Ln in East Dorset. Virtual events via Zoom will happen on September 30th and October 6th for general population, and on October 5th for BIPOC communities only, all at 7:30 pm.
