Senate Statement on National Guard Deployment.Pdf

STATE OF VERMONT SENATE CHAMBER 115 STATE STREET MONTPELIER, VT 05633-5201 PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release April 6,2018 Statement by Vermont Senators On President Trump's Request to Mobilize National Guard Members to the U.S./Mexico Border Montpelier- In the last twenty-four hours Vermont experienced a serious wind event that threatened public safety. Today, crews are cleaning up. While they have not been called upon in this instance, it is precisely in moments like these that Vermonters are so proud and grateful to have such a well-trained Vermont National Guard ready and able to serve. Also in the last twenty-four hours President Trump, in his latest attempt to fulfill discredited immigration policies, asked Governors to supply Guard members to be deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border. What type of message does this request send to one of our most important international partners? We hope Governor Scott will not consent to sending a single Vermont Guard member on this ill-considered mission unless required under federal law. Instead, Vermont Guard members should stay right here in Vermont, training to serve their neighbors or other Americans facing natural disasters, or to be available for Congressionally-supported military obligations at home and abroad. Senator Tim Ashe Senator Claire Ayer Senator Becca Balint Senator Philip Baruth Senator Christopher Bray Senator Francis Brooks Senator Brian Campion Senator Allison Clarkson Senator Ann Cummings Senator Debbie Ingram Senator Jane Kitchel Senator Ginny Lyons Senator Mark MacDonald Senator Richard Mazza Senator Richard McCormack Senator Alice Nitka Senator Chris Pearson Senator Anthony PoBina Senator John Rodgers Senator Richard Sears Senator Michael Sirotkin Senator Robert Starr Senator Jeanette White .

Gary von Stange Chair, Shelburne Selectboard 548 Ridgefield Road Shelburne, VT 05482 (802) 651-6970; (917) 648-4921 [email protected] January 28, 2016 Dear Senator Leahy, Senator Sanders, Congressman Welch and Governor Shumlin: I write as Chair of the Shelburne Selectboard to ask for your help. We need you. We have a Town that we love. Still, our most pressing desire is to provide for the safety of our residents. Our Town is being threatened on so many levels. Vermont Railways (VTR) purchased a 32 acre parcel of land from Northern Vermont Financial Corp. on or about December 28, 2015. VTR is planning an intermodal facility for this parcel primarily for the purpose of storing and distributing salt. Potentially, other material such as fuel and chemicals also could be stored on location. It is understood that this project could extend to include the sale of gas. The Town has expressed serious and significant safety and environmental concerns to VTR. In response, VTR simply asserts, to which the Town disagrees, that it is exempt from local and state land use regulations. If true, and VTR is operating under this assertion, then this project will not be publically vetted nor will it need to go before the Shelburne Development Review Board to present any information let alone receive permits, as required for every other project. David Wulfson, VTR President and a Shelburne resident, presented an extremely vague, ambiguous and incomplete outline of his plans to the Selectboard on January 5 and January 12. His claimed offer of cooperation was accompanied by a refusal to provide substantive details for the project.

H.636: Public Comment
From: Josephine Hingston [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2018 8:05 AM To: Christy Ketchel Subject: Support for H.636 Good morning, Ms. Ketchel, Would you be so kind as to forward the below to all members of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Committee? Many thanks, Josephine Hingston -------------------- Vermont Legislators, Committee members, neighbors: I am writing to strongly recommend passing H.636. I am also fully in support of H.262, H.336, and H.590. I cannot state strongly enough my shock and disgust that killing derbies are considered an allowable practice for the management of wildlife. I am writing also underline the importance of integrated management practices for predators - they are not pests or "nuisance wildlife" as biological studies of animal behavior and ecosystem function continue to show. Banning coyote hunting extermination rallies needs to happen in 2018 - please stop pandering to the worst and most barbaric hunters in our state. Best wildlife management practices in the treatment of predators continue to be revised and often utterly reversed (as should be the case with backward practice). I am disappointed to see that Vermont is not among the leaders in adopting, exploring, and perhaps even pioneering wildlife management approaches that seek to develop human civilization into something that doesn't wantonly destroy and poison its own world. We (rightfully) police our slaughterhouses to ensure a humane, quick death: my local slaughterhouse was fined and suspended twice last year last for taking more than 10 or 20 minutes to slaughter animals. Wild creatures are held in traps for hours in the best case, or days.

H.636: Testimony
Judith Newman From: Richard MaizeII <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2018 6:11 PM To: Judith Newman Subject: H636 Amendments Good morning, I am writing in support of two amendments being proposed for 11636 from Protect our Wildlife. One would require proof that an animal is actually causing damage before being deemed a nuisance and, therefore, fair game to trap with no restrictions. The second would require training for Nuisance Control Wildlife Operators. Both of these seem sensible in finding a reasonable compromise between no trapping and animal cruelty. I find it bordering on the bizarre that our wildlife officials, commissions, and boards seem to feel that they exist almost solely to support the enjoyment of hunters and trappers, when the majority of Vermonters do neither and would enjoy observation our wildlife alive. Thank you for the consideration of my support for the proposed amendments. I would appreciate you forwarding this along to involved legislators. Very Truly Yours, Dr. Richard Maize11 Richard Maize11, Psy.D. 973-903-9583 [email protected] 1 Judith Newman From: warren mills <[email protected] > Sent: Friday, April 06, 2018 4:15 PM To: Judith Newman Subject: Amendments To H.636 Hello, I'm writing to ask for your committees's support on two amendments to H.636. The first would require that animals actually be causing damage to a property before a land owner or municipality are allowed to kill the animal. This works well for the state of Maine and it can work for Vermont as well. The other amendment would require individuals who kill wildlife for compensation, known as Nuisance Wildlife Control Officers or NWCO's, to be trained and licensed and to report yearly the animals that they have killed for the year.

2010 VT LCV Scorecard
2009-2010 LEGISLATIVE BIENNIUM VERMONT environmental scorecard KNOW THE SCORE T he Vermont League of Conservation Voters is a nonpartisan political organization working to turn your environmental values into state priorities. 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. HOW TO USE THIS SCORECARD VT LCV has prepared this legislative scorecard to highlight legislators’ voting records on environmental issues.
