BRATTLEBORO-It has been reported that our elected leaders are in the midst of addressing the issue of public behavior. Persons who presumably exhibit "good" behavior are attempting to define "bad" behavior.
Once that is completed, various signs are to be produced and posted in key areas around town especially where "bad" behavior often takes place.

It may be safely assumed that these signs will project a pleasant demeanor, possibly designed with soft, pastel colors so as to enhance the friendliness of their message.
At the same time as the sign project moves forward, local ordinances addressing "bad" behavior are being re-examined, and possibly revised, and the town police force is being increased so as to better enforce those ordinances.

Under a merger system, all educational decisions will be made by an all-powerful central board, there being no need for individual...

Such communications should be addressed to the BPD, 62 Black Mountain Rd., Brattleboro VT 05301. In the case...
As a resident of the town of Windham, I have observed the activity related to the wind farm proposed for our town (and Grafton) which has been dominated by very vocal opposition. For my own peace of mind, I am compelled to publicly state some of the positive reasons for supporting wind energy in Windham. I speak for myself, but many others have quietly expressed similar opinions. * * * I see our land here as a resource to be...
