Peter NShumlin says the company that now owns a closed chemical plant in North Bennington has agreed to pay for engineering studies to determine the feasibility of con- necting more than 100 homes to public water supplies. The Democratic governor says Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics is paying for drinking water sampling of more than 300 private wells in the Bennington and North Bennington area to see if the wells are contaminated with PFOA. The Town of Bennington and the Village of North Bennington have secured separate proposals from engi- neering firms for about $15,000 each. Additionally, preliminary soil test results from around the former Chemfab facility in North Bennington, now owned by Saint-Gobain, found there is no significant risk of PFOA being drawn into plants and vegetables from garden soils.

  • Campaign Contributions from the Corrections Corporation of America
    James M. Jeffords Center’s Vermont Legislative Research Service 3 Campaign Contributions from the Corrections Corporation of America The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) is a private corrections management industry that was founded in 1983. CCA specializes in the “design, construction, expansion and management of prisons, jails, and detention facilities, as well as inmate transportation services” and has become the “private corrections provider of choice” for both federal and state agencies.1 CCA currently houses 75,000 detainees in over 60 facilities throughout the nation and partners with the three federal corrections agencies (the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the US Marshals Services, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement).2 CCA is the fifth largest corrections system in the nation (behind the three federal corrections agencies and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation).3 CCA has also been prevalent in political elections, making campaign contributions to nominees who may support stricter prison policies, enabling CCA to stay in business.4 The National Influence of CCA CCA is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative lobby group that is based in Washington DC and is specifically invested in criminal justice discussions.5 1 Corrections Corporation of America, “About CCA,” CCA, accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cca.com/about. 2 Corrections Corporation of America, “About CCA,” CCA, accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cca.com/about. 3 Office of Research, “Population Reports,” California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Reports_Research/Offender_Information_Services_Branch/Population_Reports.html 4 Harvey Silvergate and Kyle Smeallie, “Freedom Watch: Jailhouse Bloc,” The Boston Phoenix, December 9, 2008, accessed November 9, 2011, http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/73092‐Freedom‐watch‐Jailhouse‐ bloc/?page=3#TOPCONTENT.

  • EAI Newsletter, August 2016 Printable Version
    Ethan Allen Institute Newsletter – August 2016 (Printer Edition) Top Story: Help Us Warn Vermonters About the Carbon Tax We need to raise $10,000 for a media campaign that will get the facts out about the Carbon Tax. You know that a costly Carbon Tax on gasoline, diesel, home heating oil, propane, and natural gas will hurt Vermont’s families, businesses and our economy. When people find out that a Carbon Tax will add 88¢ to every gallon of gasoline and $1.02 to every gallon of home heating fuel, they overwhelmingly oppose the idea. Unfortunately, the left wing activist group VPIRG has sent over 50 “interns” door to door throughout the summer to mislead Vermonters into supporting what they call “Carbon Pricing” – no mention of how much the Carbon Tax will cost, or who will end up paying for it. Just the misleading claim that it will save the planet. We need to counter that propaganda with facts. And, this means we need to launch a paid media campaign that will educate Vermonters about the true nature of a statewide Carbon Tax. The Ethan Allen Institute has been a leading voice in Vermont warning our citizens about the proposed Carbon Tax and its inevitably harmful impacts on our state, if passed. Can we count on you to help us raise the $10,000 we need to launch a statewide radio and social media campaign? The next $5000 we receive for this effort will be matched, dollar for dollar, by a concerned contributor, so act now and double your impact! In January of 2015 The Ethan Allen Institute launched a statewide radio campaign alerting Vermonters to the fact that a Carbon Tax was on the table and what it meant for Vermont’s economic future.
