Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:
An open letter to Rep. Emily Kornheiser:
I’m writing to you as an educator for over 30 years, and as a Goddard College alumnus, to you as a Marlboro College alumna, to express my deep dismay at your education plan, one that seemly targets poor rural towns such as mine...
To The Editor,
Immigration certainly dominates the news these days, yet all Pam Baker can do is excoriate Rep. Becca Balint for an offensive remark. Ms. Baker then follows up with her own misleading summary of our current immigration law, the US Immigration and Nationality Act, enacted in...
To the Editor:
Ever have one of those days when you leave the house without a purse, wallet, credit card, or cash, and suddenly discover your car is running on fumes? That was me when I pulled into Nido’s. Miranda spotted me $5 worth of gas to get me to the next place where I could pay...

This crude metaphor perpetuates a bigoted stereotype that...
To the Editor,
Last week I wrote about waking up to new disturbing news each day. Last week it was a big ugly bill packed with cruelty which will take away vital, lifesaving programs all so that billionaires (Billionaires!!) can enjoy tax cuts.Tax cuts that don’t pay for themselves but...
To the Editor,
As Vermont dads of children attending Vermont schools and members of the Rural School Community Alliance, we’re used to showing up for our kids: on the sidelines, at bedtime, in the school pickup line, and around the dinner table. Now, we’re showing up in a different way: to...
