Haff time!

Dear Editor,

It’s that time of year again. It’s voting time. And I, Jim Haff, have put my name back on the ballot for another year. Just as last year, I’m just letting you know (a little earlier this year) that I am running. I will be using The Mountain Times newspaper in these next few week before the election to clarify why we all should be voting. Hopefully, with the data I provide of how I see our town finances spiraling downhill you’ll vote for me.

My main goal this year, however, is to challenge all registered voters in Killington to get out and vote even if you don’t vote for me. My goal is to see 100 percent of you cast a vote and participate in our local democracy. This way if we have 100 percent we will have a clear picture of what our town really wants. So please continue to read The Mountain Times these next few week with open eyes (and minds) and then make sure to come out on March 1st and cast your vote. Thanks,

Jim Haff, Killington

We have gained nothing from legalized sports betting

September 4, 2024
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,…
