Eager to capitalize on a generation still under the spell of Harry Potter, UVM plans to be the first to offer a Bachelors in Divination, Sorcery and Magic (BDSM). Applications for the school have already been flooding in.
Sadly, our two representatives, Kathleen James and Seth Bongartz, were among the 103 Democrat, Progressive and independent legislators who didn’t listen to their constituents. Despite the repeated public appeals to vote no on S.5, they voted yes.
The Democrats who voted for the bill defend their unpopular decision by insisting S.5 is “just a study.” Why is the PUC hiring two permanent employees and another to a three-year contract in order to perform “just a study” that’s due in eighteen months? Seems odd, no?

The Democrats may have the votes to override Phil Scott’s vetoes, but at least the governor is going to extract maximum embarrassment when they do. Scott vetoed S.39, the bill that would more than double legislators pay and benefits package over the next few years.
As part of its Gen. John Stark Lectures, the Ethan Allen Institute is proud to present a dinner with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a noted environmentalist and advocate of individual liberty.
On Wednesday, May 31, the Ethan Allen Institute’s Thirtieth Anniversary dinner gala was held in South Burlington. The dinner was a smashing success from a number of perspectives.
At dinner, Mr. John McClaughry was presented with the Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his public policy work in service of Vermont and her people.
A Vermont school district punished a father and his daughter for speaking out against a biological male in the girls’ locker room. Now the district has settled with the Allen family in what its legal team is hailing as a “resounding victory.”
We need to take control of our school boards, and more importantly, we need to take personal responsibility for caring and educating our children and not cede to the state that does not have their best interests in mind.
Implementing a paid family and medical leave program in Vermont is taking steps closer to becoming a reality. The Department of Financial Regulation has approved coverages and rates for the Vermont Family and Medical Leave Insurance Plan, Gov. Phil Scott said Thursday.
H.386 would allow 16-17 year olds to vote in municipal elections and hold local office. H.509 would allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. A veto override session will be held June 20-22.
