Thanks to the Killington community

 

Dear Editor,

Last week’s elections recorded a historic turnout.  

I would like to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules and heading to the polls to cast your votes. With your active participation, the results confirmed that 40% of the community share my views. 

I would also like to congratulate Jim Haff on defending his seat on the Select Board. I am hoping that we can all work together to look past our differences for the benefit of the entire Killington community.

To be able to accomplish that plan, I would like to be even more involved within the town governance. I have submitted a Letter of Intent for a seat on the Town Planning Commission to continue to ensure you are represented at the town level. Our government’s duty is to work for the people, and I will make sure that everyone’s voice is heard and no one is ignored.  

Your continued support and active participation is necessary for our town to succeed. 

Sincerely, 

Andrew Gieda,

Killington

If passed, these cuts would devastate thousands of families across the Green Mountain State that rely…

Dear Editor, About H.454… As a college student, I’ve pulled many all-nighters. And I find that, oftentimes, I will look at my midnight scribbles a few days later and question my very sanity. Now, I’m worried that the Vermont Legislature is pulling all-nighter after all-nighter, and in a year when they look back, they will regret…

No room for Grandpa in H.454 education transformation bill

Dear Editor, I hear someone calling me, “Grandpa, where are you?” My heart starts beating faster. I hear them again, “Can you help us?”  I’m alert now; I call on my old bones to once again lift me out of my old chair; my Grandchildren need my help; I can’t get to them fast enough.…
