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

Dear Editor, In its first six months legalized sports betting brought $3.5 million dollars in tax revenue to the state of Vermont. Except that Vermonters and visitors bet more than $100 million in that time period and the casinos paid out less than 90%. So $10 million left our economy and we got a $3.5 million return,…

Your public forests are at risk, but you can help

September 4, 2024
Dear Editor, What was at first a peaceful and unassuming summer has now jolted Vermonters with another wave of midyear inundations. Many communities just beginning to get back on their feet from last year’s flooding have been forced back to square one. In the wake of these unfortunate circumstances, we are reminded that Vermont’s forests…

Animals don’t get Labor Day off

August 28, 2024
Dear Editor, Labor Day often brings to mind long weekends, barbecues, and the close of summer. But it’s also an opportunity to make compassionate choices. Each day, over 23 million land animals and 150 million sea animals are killed in the U.S. for food.  The worldwide numbers are even more staggering. Choosing to eat animals,…
