Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
Tuesday, November 9, marked the 83rd anniversary of Kristallnacht, The Night of Broken Glass. On that night Nazis and Nazi sympathizers raided synagogues, Jewish homes, and Jewish businesses throughout Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. They...
To the Editor,
Workforce woes aren’t new to Vermont but COVID-19 has made them worse. And our low unemployment rate doesn’t tell the whole story. There are nearly 25,000 fewer Vermonters in the workforce then there were just before COVID-19 hit. The number of unemployed Vermonters hasn’t...
To the Editor,
For more than two decades now, many people suspected the pupil weights being used to determine each district’s portion of the education fund were incorrect. The Pupil Weighting Factors Report, authored by the University of Vermont and Rutgers University and delivered to the...
