It seems like every time I read #VTDigger, I learn something new about my home state of #Vermont. https://vtdigger.org/2025/03/30/proposed-fish-wildlife-rules-could-shake-up-vermonts-little-known-panfish-market/

Well, this isn't disturbing at all... #Vermont #ACLU claims state conducts ‘surveillance and brazen intervention’ into Vermonters’ pregnancies #VTDigger #ReproductiveJustice https://vtdigger.org/2025/01/16/vermont-aclu-claims-state-conducts-surveillance-and-brazen-intervention-into-vermonters-pregnancies/

#Eyeinthesky: The #feds have quietly built #surveillance #towers along the #Canadian #border in #Vermont, #NewYork.

#VTDigger found that at least three towers first proposed in 2021 have been built in the region since — The feds plan to install more than 1,000 new towers across the country’s northern and southern #borders by 2034

Hey, #Vermont! #VTDigger has published their 2024 #primary #election guide. Check it out here: https://vtdigger.org/2024/07/26/vtdigger-launches-2024-primary-election-guide/ Note that one-fifth of incumbents will not be vying to return to the Legislature. The changeover puts the #Democrats’ supermajority at risk, particularly in the Senate. We can't lose that! #VoteBlue up and down the ballot, including state elections.

Howard #Dean weighs (another) run for #governor
The Burlington #Democrat, who led the state for nearly a dozen years, told #VTDigger, “I am considering #running.”

A #physician by training, Dean was elected to the #Vermont House in 1982 and successfully ran for lieutenant governor in 1986. He took over the state’s top job in August 1991 upon the death of Gov. Dick #Snelling (R) and went on to win five terms.

Per #VTDigger

Final Reading: #Bill in #VermontSenate proposes removing barriers to professional licensing for new #immigrants.
“As we are #diversifying our population in southern Vermont, we need to apply that same principle to our #serviceproviders as well,” said one advocate.

Ian Hefele wants the services people receive in his Brattleboro-area community to be #culturallyappropriate to the #backgrounds from which they come. Appropriate hairdressers for all cultures, for example.

Just sent an email to my #Vermont congresscritter #BeccaBalint, thanking her for her op-ed in the #VTDigger calling for a ceasefire. I hope more folks will get onboard. This has to stop. https://vtdigger.org/2023/11/16/becca-balint-cease-fire-needed-to-stop-bloodshed-in-israel-hamas-conflict/
