However, our towns must deal with many of the same and similar challenges. This has not received its due attention. To shed some light on this important issue, the Ethan Allen Institute partnered with Reason Foundation to write a report entitled “Towns in Trouble: Assessing Municipal Fiscal Health in Vermont.” We analyzed 30 Vermont towns for their fiscal year 2018, accounting for 46% of Vermont’s total population. Only four are in excellent fiscal health (scored 70 or above), 16 meet a minimum of fiscal strength (scored 50-69), while 11 are in poor fiscal condition (scored 49 or less). Scores ranged from 22 to 92. Some of these results were surprising, others less so. Many of the top performers were in Chittenden County, but even there, eight towns were only marginally healthy, and just two were in good fiscal health. Wealthy Shelburne landed exactly in the middle of the fiscal health rankings, at No. 15, with a 58 score. Lyndon has a median household income that is less than half of Shelburne, and yet it was able to score a 70 on fiscal health. So clearly, a high median income does not always equate with a healthier fiscal score. Randolph and Rutland received two of the worst scores and have been reprimanded by their auditors for “material weaknesses” in their accounting practices. St. Albans also received a poor score, but it is taking active steps to improve and did not have any material weaknesses its auditors identified. Improving accounting practices, as St. Albans has done, may help towns to avoid cutting services or increasing taxes in the long term. But there comes a time when such drastic measures may have to be considered. (Of area towns, Brandon ranked highest with a score of 59 and a ranking of 13, tied with Milton and one point ahead of Shelburne; Middlebury had 52 points, and was ranked 17th, one point ahead of South Burlington; and Bristol was ranked 26th with a score of 43.) In this study, we employ a fiscal scoring system to determine which of Vermont’s 30 most populous towns and cities may be at risk. We also provide a “How To” guide for citizens of smaller towns to discern their town’s fiscal condition. Our methodology is Gift of warmth similar to the studies completed by California’s State Auditor and MEMBERS OF THE Knights of Columbus at St. Ambrose Church in Bristol once again UC Berkeley’s Haas Institute.

While the “Property Values” and Photo courtesy of Fred Baser “Employment” categories are less in the control of each municipality, these only accounted for 20 of the 100 points in a score. Most of the differences between towns can be accounted for by the three categories which towns do have some control over. It has been 124 months since the last U.S. recession, an all-time record. Towns should be shoring up their resources for an inevitable Letters to the Editor economic downturn, which many economists are forecasting within the next two years. However, few Vermont towns look especially fiscally resilient, and many are losing population.

Cremation with a Service

A Celebration of Life, for those left behind, helps those family members and friends with closure. Even though your loved one says “I just want to be cremated – no funeral,” they forget the Celebration of Life service is not for them, but for the ones left behind. A service is a healthy way to say good-bye.

Loida first revealed his high skill level as a percussionist when performing at Brandon Music as drummer with the Burlington- based band Ameranouche. Loida says his music gives voice to all “Wallflower,” the title of his debut album released in September. He asks his listeners to explore the introvert in each of us through his music. “Wallflower and the music I compose is closer to a musical painting in which I assemble sound to evoke the colors in my mind,” he says. Loida’s music is beautifully haunting, immersive and calming while taking the listener on a musical pathway of exploration and discovery. Loida’s musical curiosity and open-mindedness set him apart and have propelled him towards a wide-range of sounds, genres and artistic endeavors.

Some interest has been shown – one local group is pretty serious, so hopefully we can pull that off.” AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE CLUB The appeal letter went out to members earlier this month asking for $4,000 per member to eliminate the club’s long-term debt before Dec. 31. At $4,000 per member and a total of 144 members, the club hoped to raise $575,000 in order to eliminate that debt, rather than raising $150,000 just to keep the club running for another year. The debt is a combination of a long-term mortgage and a line of credit, Wallin said. Neshobe Board Chair Jeff Wallin said he believes the National Bank of Middlebury is unfairly accelerating the foreclosure process. “My greatest concern is that the National Bank of Middlebury seems more intent on maximizing their dollar return than working THE NESHOBE GOLF Club on Country Club Road in Brandon is facing foreclosure by Dec. 31 after a failed attempt with us to ensure that Neshobe to collect pledges to alleviate long-term debt.
