  • 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.

  • Legislative Update for March 9, 2019
    Supporting Vermonters to lead healthy and satisfying lives community by community Legislative Update for March 9, 2019 The Legislature is on Town Meeting Day Break for one week. When it returns on March 12th there will be a flurry of activity to pass bills out of committees of jurisdiction by the March 15th crossover deadline. This deadline does not apply to bills authored by full committees or the money bills. The House Appropriations Committee is aiming to complete their budget proposal by March 19th. Early Stage Appropriations Advocacy is Successful Thanks to great advocacy efforts by advocates and agencies from around the state the Vermont Care Partners provider network made a good showing in the recommendations of the two key house policy committees in their FY2020 budget memos to the House Appropriations Committee. In fact, the House Health Care Committee made increased funding to improve designated and specialized service agency (DA/SSA) workforce compensation their number one funding priority. While the House Health Care Committee requested a 4% increase for DA/SSAs, the House Human Services Committee requested a 2% increase. Now the House Appropriations Committee will weigh those memos and the other advocacy they have received from: the public hearings; our advocacy days for disabilities and mental health; and individual outreach. While Representative Hooper is responsible for the DMH budget and Representative Lanpher is responsible for the DAIL budget, the full committee votes on priorities as a committee. In addition to improved funding for workforce, the House Health Care Committee put in a plug for electronic health records (EHR) systems one-time investment and for the workforce development proposal for the Tobacco Settlement funds from Vermont Care Partners which calls for a 3-year commitment to work at a DA/SSA to receive tuition assistance or loan repayment.

  • 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.

  • 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.
