Here is a spreadsheet of the Top 11 municipalities in #Vermont by population (2020 Decennial Census Data), showing the number of registered voters in 2025, how many voted, what type of #elections and #TownMeeting they hold, what type of government they have, and their votes on the FY26 budget (#VT SecState reported data) Of them, the City of #Burlington and the Town of #Brattleboro are the only two that do not hold a townwide ballot to approve the municipal budget.
#VT
All societies above a certain size and scope are better governed by representation. The voters of #Brattleboro understood this in the 1960s, when they made the change to Representative Town Meeting. Are we more wise than they?

A interesting introduction from #AmandaJanoo. I realize this is from over 3.5 years ago, and I do like what I see in terms of values, but what I want to see is concrete policy proposals, rather than flowery prose about well-being, generosity, and contentment.
I take a very dim view of politicians who refuse to talk specifics, out of fear of alienating votes. Tell me what you believe, but tell me what you are *actually* going to do about it.

The #VT Futures Project Economic Action Plan is good reading.
I don't necessarily agree with everything in it. I have my misgivings about the fact that the contributors to it are exclusively from the business sector, without any formal input from the #SocialJustice community.
It does correctly identify key challenges #Vermont faces for its future: the need for #population #growth and the need for #redevelopment of our built #environment.
Most of #Vermont's most pernicious challenges in the coming decades are related to the fact that Vermonters are spread too thin to afford #SnowGlobePolitics.
The pastoral fantasies of the past are the opposite of what it is going to take to survive and thrive in the coming decades. There are only 24 years to #Vermont2050.
We are already running out of time.
The crisis of #Vermont #schools is a product of an #aging population, rural #sprawl, and a declining #economy.
Vermonters need to understand and accept that we cannot afford to maintain our public #education system with our past and current assumptions. Refusing #consolidation is simply not an option. It's not #sustainable. This is basic arithmetic.
We need to attract more people to live downtown, and condense our impact on the #environment into town and city centers.
I suspect that this has changed over the years. Kay Sievers's original proposal in 2010 indeed had the active device as the last one. But Lennart Poettering writing in 2012, after things had settled down amongst the kernel developers, wrote that the active device was the first one. I vaguely remember inspecting the code that constructed the string to check, at the time. I'll try to remember to have another look.
I write a console(4) and a vt(4) manual page for #Linux, too, as there is a larger gap there, Linux doco not having a vt(4) page as #FreeBSD does.

I am proud to support the re-election of Isaac Evans-Frantz to the #Brattleboro #Vermont Selectboard. Isaac is a sincere and courageous voice for accountability, affordability, and compassion in our community.
This was a great interview with many listeners sharing their stories about Bernie --> https://www.vermontpublic.org/show/vermont-edition/2026-01-29/new-book-bernie-for-burlington-reflects-a-changing-city #VT #Berniesanders

#VTpol I'll be the first to admit that Bernie has actually been doing a fine job, even though I wish he would not have stood for re-election last time, but the honest truth is that had he not run, there wouldn't have been anyone to replace him, except awkwardly moving Becca up after just a single term in the House, and then there would still have been no viable candidate to replace her.
In fact, Phil Scott might himself be the only serious #VT candidate to go to DC, next. He's 67, now.
#VTpol For that matter, it's no secret that #Vermont prefers to send Democrats to Washington, but right now the #VT Democratic Party has a dearth of viable candidates to replace our current delegation. Bernie Sanders needs to step down, and Peter Welch is no spring chicken either. Assuming Becca Balint is the shoo-in to replace Bernie, there's no identifiable candidate to replace Becca, even though the Dem/Prog coalition has recently held a supermajority in the #VTleg.
#VTpol Gov. Scott's response to the campaign of terror the Trump regime is inflicting on Minneapolis and our nation was unacceptably tepid.
When are #Vermont Democrats going to start fielding serious candidates for Governor? They haven't done so in the entire 11 years I've lived in #VT.
The closest was Sue Minter, but she bizarrely tried to make "gun control" the top priority of her campaign in a constitutional carry state with negligible firearms violence. Otherwise, she would have been fine.
@brendan @Wyatt_H_Knott @akamran If #Vermont is going to be a viable state, then we need to look to our future, and not remain fixated on sentimentality for an imagined glorious past. #SnowGlobePolitics are strangling us. #VT #VTpol #VTpoli
