Guest editorial: The peril of OneCare’s failure

Last week the regulators made a point of asking OneCare’s leadership if it could justify its $15 million budget request. It could not. Not satisfactorily.

This week and through the holidays, Vermont food will be at the center the table as many of us celebrate with family and friends. 

This year, the last leaves fell on Nov. 8. Last year they fell on Nov. 3. In 2020 the leaves fell on Oct. 31.

As we approach the holiday season, I ache to hear my grandmothers’ voices, to hug them, to spend time with them.

Despite the likelihood of meltdowns, however, riding that line between culinary success and disaster makes me feel alive.

I would suggest that the Addison Independent also set a standard for publishing right out lies. 

Perhaps an even bigger surprise came at the beginning of the Nov. 16 Board of Education meeting when the panel accepted Oliver Olsen’s resignation.

While we may disagree on solutions, we acknowledge our school districts face many difficult problems that are not easy to fix. 

I’m writing to commend Erica Langston on a thoughtful and thorough letter regarding the factors to assess when considering if a cat is truly stray and in need of help or if he or she is part of a family who chooses to allow outdoor time.

The recent election was a disaster for the Vermont Republican Party.

I have personally applied for over 35 jobs in the Addison County area over the years.

I have never met a pig that is sexist, or racist, or homophobic.

The mail coming to me every day from for-profit private health insurance plans advertising an alternative to traditional Medicare, is overwhelming.

The weather was great, the trunks all looked great, and everyone enjoyed the town highway and fire trucks.

Three-year-olds and teenagers, as it turns out, aren’t all that different.
