Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
Over the past few years, I have been following the discussion in Vermont regarding the taxation of military pensions. I remain fully perplexed, as does our governor, by our legislative inability to exempt military pensions from taxation.
Vermont is one of only three...
To the Editor,
Last week marked both National Nurses Week and Teacher Appreciation Week.
These two professions have worked harder than ever during the pandemic. Recently, the Vermont State School Nurses’ Association estimate a shortage of school nurses in K-12 schools in Vermont.  ...
