My youngest brought home a book from school (Hidden Roots by Joseph Bruchac) about the experiences of the Abenakis in New York and Vermont in the 1930s.

$25 Maximum Wage?

Voting In Vermont

Ha! Ha, ha! The State has literally no idea who is voting. None. The best we’ve got are the great town clerks and volunteers who, might often, recognize a.voter or two, here and there.
