What can customers do when there is only one supplier of Natural Gas in Vermont, namely Vermont Gas Systems, Inc.? They charge excessive fees; is seeking out an alternative fuel our only option, or can the government step in on our behalf?

Doing my homework for Community Council. Why are you showing March on April 23. If I understand correctly, even the April Show has gone by. No need to respond

Comment on VPT & You: Livable Wage by Barry Newton

Barry Newton — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:39:42 +0000

I believe strongly that working people should receive a livable wage if there ethics substantiate the level of earnings of anyone else. I also don’t believe in Vermont’s ease of putting people on welfare, health insurance, etc. People should not be allowed to buy items that not of necessity, and are not providing for their children. A lot of people on welfare can work but they feel the State will pay them more for not working then they would get if they were working. May have to have 2 or 3 jobs to have the money they need or want! Stop wasting tax payer dollars……..

I thought this was a good topic.

However, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters recently announced its employment expansion opportunities will be in Tennessee, where wages are lower.

How does that reconcile with GMCR’s commitment to Vt livable wages and Vermont in general?

It has been my observation that Vermont has been generally hostile to business, both in attracting and in retaining. As a consequence of these policies, our college-educated youth generally leave the state, and there are not the kinds of jobs here for folks to make a livable wage. For those who are not college-bound, there are jobs in welding and construction but our young are not being educated for those things. We know several plumbers and electricians who have more business than they can handle but cannot find help. Ski areas have to bring in welders from NH, NY and Canada. These are decent paying jobs that are going begging. I blame public policy for these problems. And there is a limit as to how much you can tax the retired and small businesses to pay for welfare. Again, this is a problem of poor public policy in Montpelier.
