Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
If you’re a Trumpite, don’t read on; I view your consciousness as too addled to respond to logic. To the rest of you, I address these questions: What are the overriding socio-economic realities that set the stage for a mendacious, solipsistic, sociopathic fascist to leap to...
To the Editor,
Discussion and debate about whether to wear a mask as a means to halt the spread of COVID-19 is traveling around Vermont like a wildfire, or, perhaps better said, like a virus.
The matter comes up frequently at the governor’s weekly press conferences. Selectboards up...
To the Editor,
Just so you know: Jay Morelli, PGA, director of the original golf school at Haystack, was selected by Golf Digest as the “best golf teacher in the state of Vermont.” I think this is the 15th time Jay has won this award. Congrats, Jay.

To the Editor,
As I watch the Build Back Better Act wind its way through Congress, my hopes for its success have ebbed and flowed. As a disabled person who works with other disabled people, I have a special interest in the proposed funding for home- and community-based services, which pays...
To the Editor,
Nationally, nearly one in four jobs require a government permission slip, often to the detriment of entrepreneurs and job seekers. Licensing began when the public demanded more accountability from the doctors, lawyers, and dentists who provided them with important services....
