Editorial: A welcome nod to civility

Posted on October 31, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



We appreciate the divergence of opinion expressed in today’s letters to the editor concerning Middlebury’s proposed municipal building/recreation facility. We also agree, in a nod to civility on this Halloween eve, that future discussion be less descriptive and honed to the issues at hand.

Posted on October 28, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



This past Wednesday two consultants working with the Vermont Department of Economic Development and the state commissioner were in Middlebury promoting economic development. A good crowd turned out, an energetic and informative three-hour workshop ensued, and the group was invited to join a follow-up session to help fine-tune a statewide comprehensive economic development plan.

Editorial: The harm caused by excess

Posted on October 21, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



News last week that the Vermont Department of Health Care Access (DVHA) has incurred excesses in its $2.8 million media campaign promoting Vermont Health Care Connect should prompt the Shumlin administration to scrutinize the media firm’s accounting and make appropriate adjustments.

Guest Editorial: It's not Washington, D.C., that's crazy; we elect them

Posted on October 17, 2013 |
By Petula Dvorak



America really loathes Washington right now, and that’s preposterous: Our Town has done nothing wrong.

Washington is a place where hundreds of children couldn’t play soccer this past weekend; where cafeteria workers, janitors and secretaries aren’t getting paid for who knows how long; where buses and subway trains run empty; where shoeshine guys sit idle; and where Girl Scout troops had to cancel annual camping trips.

Editorial: Needed — A return to reason

Posted on October 14, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



As the nation careens toward default on its national debt, and as Tea Party Republicans continue their reckless dismissal of those consequences, one wonders what happens to a political party that rejects rational argument and embraces a faith-based approach to its political foundation. When such faith fails, will the voters who embraced such tactics die on the sword or slowly turn toward the politics of reason?

Editorial: Phase II: A win-win scenario?

Posted on October 10, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn

By Angelo S. Lynn



In the ongoing discussion of the proposed municipal building in Middlebury, which tentatively has a bond vote set for December, an important assurance was made this week by the selectboard: It would delay the vote if it feels residents are not adequately informed.

Editorial: How essential is government?

Posted on October 3, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



Ever think the federal government shutdown won’t matter to you, your neighbors or the state? Consider some of the statewide effects:

• About 4,200 federal employees work in Vermont; of those it’s estimated about 1,000 are subject to furlough — meaning they are laid off without pay.

• Of the 1,000 National Guard members in Vermont, about 450 are now on furlough.

Editorial: Shutdown puts GOP at risk

Posted on September 30, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



Here’s a quick recap of the looming federal government shutdown and why it’s unique.

At midnight Monday, Oct. 1, non-essential parts of the U.S. government will be shut down. Of the nation’s two million federal workers, about 40 percent  (800,000) will be furloughed for an unknown amount of time. About 1.4 million active duty military personnel will remain on the job, but most civilians working in the Defense Department face furloughs.
