  • Forum: a Child of an Era of Fear
    Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 11:20 AM To: Maxine Grad Subject: Bob Williamson shares Hailey Napier's powerful letter from the VALLEY NEWS Dear Chair Maxine Grad, Below is Hailey Napier’s letter from the VALLEY NEWS. Hailey eloquently expresses how today’s youngsters feel when mass shootings occur and lawmakers do little to address the lethal problem. Best, Bob Williamson…And here’s the letter: http://www.vnews.com/ Forum: A Child of an Era of Fear When I was 12 years old, I began scanning for exits at every movie theater I went to and carefully thought through escape scenarios as the previews played. I assessed the space between the seats and the floor. Would I be able to crawl between the armrest and the wall unseen? That was the year of the Aurora shooting. If you don’t remember the details, 12 people were murdered in a Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colo.. They were watching The Dark Knight Rises. I had begged to see the movie myself, and as I read the headlines online, I realized that innocent people had died, and that I could easily have been one of them. I am a child of an era of fear. Born almost exactly a year after Columbine, I grew up with the pitch black, unspoken terror of lockdown drills. Hiding in corners and closets and behind desks, as if turning the lights off will convince a killer that school’s been canceled on a Tuesday in May; as if a bookshelf will protect me from the rain of bullets driven by some arbitrary vendetta against society.

    Storied Event, LLC 28 Park Row Waterbury, Vermont 05676 June 1, 2020 Rep. Michael Marcotte, Chair Rep. Jean O'Sullivan, Vice Chair Rep. Charles Kimbell, Ranking Member Rep. Robert Bancroft Rep. James Carroll Rep. Eileen Dickinson Rep. Stephanie Jerome, Clerk Rep. Kristi Morris Rep. Zachariah Ralph Rep. Tristan Toleno Dear Members of the Vermont House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development, I write to you as leaders of the House and your role within Appropriations Committees regarding your efforts to act swiftly to provide support for a key industry in Vermont currently failed to be recognized. Unfortunately, the Federal Covid-19 response is not enough to sustain the resources the Vermont Tent Industry needs to survive. The Tent and Event Rental Industry in Vermont is a growing vital resource supporting economic, non-profit, and tourism throughout the State. The Tent and Event Industry also plays an added role during times of State Emergencies assisting FEMA and State Mandates by providing shelter, additional capacity for space, and serving on the front lines if needed. As a Vermont Destination Event Company, my staff and vendor teams fully rely on the Vermont Tent and Rental Industry to provide the necessary foundations to build outdoor events. Storied Events brings in thousands of out-of-state event guests each year from May to October. The financial impact on small businesses, local towns, including State and local taxes is profound. We are just one company, in a state with many event planners and wedding companies. This does not account for festivals, non-profit or corporate events and other destination event planners from out of state bringing clients and their guests to Vermont.

We seek to make environmental protection a top priority for elected officials, candidates, and voters. HOW THE VOTES WERE SELECTED T his scorecard is based on the legislative priorities of the environmental and conservation organizations that form the Vermont Environmental Collaborative as well as other environmental issues. Determining factors in the decision to list particular votes include whether the vote was substantive or procedural in nature, and which vote had the greatest effect on the outcome of the legislation. Please note the limitations of this report. Only roll call votes have been included, as voice votes are not recorded by name. A simple numeric score beside a legislator’s name cannot convey the depth of discussions about the issues, nor can it clearly indicate which legislators worked to protect the environment and which legislators worked to undermine environmental protections. This is particularly true when it comes to work done in the committee room. HOW THE VOTES WERE SCORED T he scores were calculated by dividing the number of pro-environmental votes made by the number of votes the legislator had the opportunity to cast. Absences were counted as a negative vote. Votes during which the Speaker of the House or the President Pro-Tem of the Senate presided over their bodies, were not counted either way.

From the procession of four former governors and numerous dignitaries who were escorted by members of the armed services in Vermont to the singing of “America the Beautiful” by Colchester Police Chief Jennifer Morrison, it was an opportunity for the overflow crowd of Vermonters crammed in the House Chamber to witness their state’s peaceful transfer of power. After Governor Philip Scott took the oath of office, he used his inauguration speech to focus on themes that he had emphasized throughout his campaign for office. He assured Vermonters that he heard their concerns about “struggles to make ends meet as costs and taxes rise and good paying jobs are fewer and fewer.” He committed his administration to strengthening the economy, making living and doing business in Vermont more affordable, and protecting the most vulnerable. He announced that he would sign an executive order that very day directing every state agency to focus on those issues. His purpose in so doing,

  • S.260: St. Albans Cooperative Letter of Opposition
    Representative Maxine Grad, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary Representative Chip Conquest, Vice Chair Representative Thomas Burditt, Ranking Member Representative Selene Colburn Representative Eileen Dickinson Representative Kimberley Jessup Representative Martin LaLonde Representative Ruquaiyah Morris Representative Barbara Rachelson Representative Gary Viens Representative Janssen Wilhoit Dear Chairwoman Grad, Vice Chairman Conquest and members of the House Committee on Judiciary: On behalf of the St. Albans Cooperative and its membership, we strenuously oppose the citizen right of action language that your committee is discussing soon. As a cooperative consisting of dairy farmers, we are unfortunately used to being subject to legislation or policies that are not needed. We also are often unnecessarily targeted by constituencies that have little to no idea about overall dairy farming practices. The ‘citizen suit’ language that has been included in S. 260 is first and foremost, not needed. Both the Agency of Agriculture and the Agency of Natural Resources have regulations in place that deal with non- compliance issues. If the underlying concern is the respective Agency’s ability to enforce, then that is a very different issue. The Agency of Agriculture employees are regularly on all farms and are required to inspect large farms at least annually for compliance. As dairy farmers, we are expected to adhere to rules and regulations that are very different from what other businesses do. The success of our individual business relies on the health of our land and animals. Passage of this language will be costly and time-consuming for our agricultural community. Respectfully, Harold J. Howrigan, Jr. Chairman, St. Albans Cooperative Board of Directors cc: Senator Robert Starr Secretary Anson Tebbetts .
