Editorial: CEDS — A strategy to build good jobs, livable wages

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



Beyond the financial gains for two big businesses, what’s at stake with Vermont Gas’s proposed Phase II pipeline project is the prospect of an extended environmental and legal battle that will likely be seen across the nation as a quirky rant by anti-business/pro-environmental forces in anti-business Vermont.

Editorial: Common sense: It’s a good deal

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.

Editorial: Solving the health care puzzle

Posted on September 26, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



As Vermonters begin to decipher the new world of health care through Vermont Health Connect and the health care exchange, and Republicans in Congress try — for the 42nd time — to dismantle the nation’s health care law at the expense of shutting down government, it’s worth stepping back to view the big picture: that is, how this nation’s health care compares to the rest of the world.

Editorial: The sweet fragrance of the Gospel

Posted on September 26, 2013 |
By Angelo S. Lynn



“It is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time. The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent... We have to find a balance, otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.”
