Participating  in  the  forum  were  candidates  Matt  Dunne,  a  Hartland  Democrat,  former  Vermont  law- maker  and  current  Google  executive;͞  Bruce  Lisman,  a  Shelburne  Republican  and  former  Wall  Street  ex- ecutive;͞  and  Waterbury  Democrat  Sue  Minter,  a  former  state  lawmaker  who  most  recently  served  as  secretary  of  the  Vermont  Agency  of  Transportation.

Letters to the Editor Phased-Âin  carbon  pollution  tax  would  make  sense Recently  the  press  and  airwaves  in  Vermont  have  been  full  of  controversy  over  the  effort  to  put  a  price  on  carbon  emissions  through  the  imposition  of  a  “carbon  pollu- tion  tax.â€?  While  some  worry  about  rising  commuter  costs  for  working  Vermonters,  the  proposed  legisla- tion  would  offset  cost  increases  through  the  establishment  of  an  Energy  Independence  Fund  to  KHOS 9HUPRQWHUV ÂżQDQFH HQHUJ\ HIÂżFLHQF\ PHDVXUHV ,Q DGGLWLRQ the  current  proposal  includes  a  1  percentage  point  reduction  in  the Â

Renwable  energy  projects  should  be  done  properly Duane  Peterson’s  Nov.  2  op-Âed  in  the  Independent,  “Like  barns  &  silos,  solar  power  changes  the  land;Íž  but  it’s  necessary,â€?   suggested  that  raising  questions  about  the  solar  business  was  an  indicator  of  oppo- sition  to  renewable  energy. In  his  piece,  Mr.  Peterson  wrote  “some  like  Mr.  Rothschild  call  for  a  stop  to  the  clean  energy  revolution.  He  doesn’t  want  to  see  the  new  energy  infrastructure  that  is  needed  to  reverse  climate  destruction.â€?  That  statement  suggests  companies  such  as  SunCommon  are  motivated  by  altruism  and  not  the  pursuit  of  SURÂżW Though  we  agree  that,  when  done  right,  solar  energy  is  something  that  we  can  feel  good  about,  the  solar  industry  is  still  a  business  that  is  FRQFHUQHG ZLWK SURÂżW It  is  safe  to  say  Vermonters  agree  that  renewable  energy  is  the  way  to  go.  However,  with  the  tax  incen- tives,  energy  credits,  and  the  gov- ernor’s  desire  to  have  “90  percent  renewable  energy  by  2050â€?  it  feels  the  rush  to  build  is  prompted  by  a  lot  more  than  altruism. Recently,  my  husband  and  I  moved  from  Cleveland  and  we  chose  to  live  in  the  quiet,  rural  town  of  Addison.  The  previous  owners  of  our  house  had  solar  panels  and  we  look  forward  to  making  use  of  the  system  in  the  future.  We  are  excited  about  solar,  but  we’ve  had  a  crash  course  in  the  “wild,  wild  westâ€?  of  the  solar  business  in  the  last  six  months  that  was  not  detailed  in  Mr.  Peterson’s  op-Âed. Our  neighbors  have  land  that  backs  directly  up  to  our  land  and  have  decided  to  pursue  a  CSA  solar  array  through  SunCommon.  It  sounds  wonderful  except  the  array  encroaches  on  our  property  —  closer  to  our  house  than  theirs.  The  CSA  installation  would  alter  the  view  for  which  we  bought  the  house  and  would  most  likely  affect  our  home’s  value  and  potential  resale  ability. In  his  op-Âed,  Mr.  Peterson  states  “solar  panels  need  unshaded  space,  at  strong  power  lines,  next  to  paved  roads  to  accommodate  construction  equipment,  away  from  wetlands Â

and  endangered  species  and  historic  sites.â€?  The  proposed  array  in  our  “backyardâ€?  would  affect  a  wetland,  is  in  the  area  of  the  Indiana  bat  and  our  home  is  a  historic  site. Mr.  Peterson  stated  that  “of  course  a  neighbor  who  wants  to  preserve  a  view  over  land  they  don’t  own  is  welcome  to  offer  to  buy  the  property.â€?  That  was  not  an  option  in  our  case.  The  deal  made  to  our  neighbors  by  SunCommon  was  too  good  to  pass  up  and  would  provide  their  “retirement  planâ€?  as  they  told  us.  We  were  not  offered  the  option  of  buying  the  land.  Solar  companies  are  offering  land  own- ers  $20,000  up  front  for  a  20-Âyear  “leaseâ€?  which  far  exceeds  what  we  would  pay  for  an  acre  of  land. Mr.  Peterson  states  that  SunCom- mon  “abides  by  a  Good  Neighbor  Agreement,  which  calls  for  us  to  work  with  communities  and  neigh- bors  through  community  meetings  and  workshops  to  place  these  arrays  where  most  appropriate.â€?  That  was  not  the  case  with  SunCommon  and  their  planned  array.  We  had  to  track  down  SunCommon,  send  emails,  ask  for  information  including  site  plans  and  in  the  end  we  were  told  that  if  we  would  not  agree  with  this  project  they  would  be  happy  to  discuss  future  solar  options.  In  other  words,  they  could  sell  us  something. Mr.  Peterson  stated  that  “the  permit  process  runs  a  solar  site  through  a  host  of  parametersâ€?  such  as  “local  town  planning  commis- sions  and  town  select  boards.â€?  That  is  not  true  in  every  case.  In  ours,  they  bypassed  the  Town  of  Addison  select  board  and  went  directly  to  the  3XEOLF 6HUYLFH %RDUG IRU D &HUWLÂż- cate  of  Public  Good.  If  my  husband  and  I  wanted  to  build  a  large  fence  around  our  property  we  would  be  required  to  go  the  select  board  and  our  neighbors  would  have  a  say,  but  SunCommon  has  the  right  to  build  a  150  kW  solar  array  without  a  need  to  consult  the  neighbors  or  town  government. Like  most  people,  my  husband  and  I  had  no  idea  what  we  had  to  do  to  become  part  of  the  discus- sion.  We  learned  that  we  had  to Â
become  experts  in  Vermont’s  PSB  SURFHVV DQG ZH KDG WR ÂżOH D OHJDO- istic  Motion  to  Intervene  (you  can  read  it  online  at  http://vce.org/Al- len_Suncommon_150kW_PSB_In- tervention_Nov62015.pdf). Mr.  Peterson  argues  that  “power  poles  and  lines,  gas  stations,  utility  substations,  propane  yards,  are  a  visible  part  of  our  social  fabricâ€?  and  yet  almost  all  commercial  and  in- dustrial  developments  are  subject  to  zoning  regulations  and  restrictions  approved  by  select  boards  and  citi- zens.  So,  “yesâ€?  there  are  visible  gas  stations,  but,  because  a  town  has  the  authority  to  decide  what  “orderly  developmentâ€?  means  within  its  boundaries,  we  don’t  have  a  string  of  gas  stations  along  Route  22A.  Most  people  prefer  not  to  live  next  to  ten  gas  stations. We  live  in  an  area  zoned  “rural  residential  with  an  emphasis  on  ag- riculture.â€?  We  thought  it  was  a  safe  assumption  when  we  purchased  our  KRXVH WKDW WKH DFUH ÂżHOG EHKLQG us  would  not  be  developed  —  af- ter  all  it  contained  a  wetland.  But,  even  a  wetland  in  an  agricultural  ¿HOG FDQ EH LQGXVWULDOL]HG WKURXJK Vermont’s  PSB  and  a  CPG.  When  a  town’s  jurisdiction  is  usurped  for  the  PSB  a  town  such  as  Addison  loses  the  right  to  regulate  and  zone  accordingly. In  a  state  that  upholds  Act  250  as  a  reason  we  have  a  tourism  industry  why  would  we  not  have  more  dis- cussions.  My  husband  and  I  moved  from  an  area  where  a  rash  of  poor  decisions  in  the  housing  industry  boom  affected  the  property  values  of  the  entire  city.  It  would  seem  prudent  to  not  rush  to  meet  the  tax  credit  deadlines  and  to  slow  down  and  consider  the  placement  of  the  arrays,  the  amount  of  total  energy  generated,  who  is  actually  signing  up  for  and  using  the  potential  CSA,  and  how  the  arrays  will  affect  prop- erty  values  and  the  views  we  wish  to  maintain. We  do  not  oppose  renewable  energy,  when  done  right.  But,  we’re  not  sure  SunCommon  is  really  interested  in  doing  it  right. Rev.  Dr.  Stephanie  Allen Addison
(Continued  from  Page  4) attainment  of  these  goals.  A  carbon  pollution  tax,  properly  structured,  could  get  us  moving  toward  achieving  these  goals  while  pro- tecting  low  income  Vermonters  and  actually  boosting  our  economy. When  I  hear  that  Vermont  spends  $2  billion  annually  on  fossil  fuels  to  meet  its  energy  needs,  I  see  a  business  opportunity.  Currently  80  percent  of  our  energy  dollars  are  sent  out  of  the  state.  Keeping  those  dollars  in  our  state  will  strengthen  our  economy  and  create  jobs  right  here  in  Vermont. When  I  was  vice  president  of  operations  at  Vermont  Teddy  Bear  we  worked  hard  to  reduce  our  energy  use  for  heating,  cooling  and  general  operations.  Saving  energy  dollars  was  part  of  good  busi- ness  operations.  Individuals  who  weatherize  their  homes  can  save  VLJQLÂżFDQW HQHUJ\ GROODUV ZKLOH increasing  comfort.  Switching  to  a  PRUH IXHO HIÂżFLHQW RU HOHFWULF FDU can  both  save  on  fuel  costs  and  cut  down  on  emissions.  Businesses  and  families  who  have  taken  mea- sures  like  these  have  often  been  VXSSRUWHG E\ ÂżQDQFLDO LQFHQWLYHV and  subsidies.  The  transforma- tion  in  our  society  called  for  by  Vermont’s  Comprehensive  Energy  Plan  requires  similar  support.  We  need  to  discourage  what  goes  against  our  goals  and  offer  encour- agement  for  what  will  move  us  closer  to  them. For  Vermont,  putting  a  price  on  carbon  can  play  that  dual  role.  A Â
carbon  pollution  tax  will  gradually  increase  the  cost  of  fossil  fuels,  but  the  proceeds  will  be  directed  back  to  Vermonters  in  tax  cuts  and  rebates.  It  will  also,  importantly,  help  people  reduce  their  consump- tion  by  weatherizing  their  homes  and  buildings,  transitioning  them  WR PRUH HIÂżFLHQW IRUPV RI WUDQVSRU- tation,  or  switching  their  fossil  fuel  KHDWLQJ VRXUFHV WR HIÂżFLHQW ZRRG or  solar  heating.  Ensuring  that  rebates  and  energy  programs  are  smartly  structured  can  also  help  eliminate  the  negative  impacts  of  the  tax  for  qualifying  low-Âincome  residents.  Reducing  fossil  fuel  consump- tion  in  Vermont  will  save  money  for  individuals,  businesses  and  public  institutions  while  moving  us  toward  the  goal  of  reducing  green  house  gases.  The  fewer  en- ergy  dollars  we  send  out  of  state,  the  more  dollars  will  circulate  lo- cally,  strengthening  our  economy.  The  jobs  created  in  weatheriza- WLRQ DQG RWKHU HIÂżFLHQF\ SURMHFWV cannot  be  shipped  abroad  —  they  are,  by  nature,  local  economy  boosters.  A  carbon  pollution  tax,  intro- duced  gradually  over  10  years  and  structured  to  protect  lower- income  Vermonters,  will  lower  our  taxes,  stimulate  our  economy,  and  provide  the  mechanism  needed  to  move  our  state  closer  to  the  goals  of  our  Comprehensive  Energy  Plan.

We  decided  to  build  a  garage/shop  and  incorporate  solar  panels.  Dave  from  Bristol  Electronics  came  out  to  advise  us  on  our  options  and  helped  us  with  the  correct  orientation  and  pitch  of  our  roof.  Their  prices  were  less  expensive  than  the  competition  and  for  what  I  believe  is  a  superior  product.  The  installation  was  quick  with  no  problems.  Bristol  Electronics  is  a  locally  owned  and  operated  business  that  delivered  great  service  before,  during,  and  even  now  almost  a  year  later. We  have  been  producing  more  electricity  than  we  can  use  since  May  and  banking  the  credit  with  the  power  company.  We  don’t  anticipate  having  to  pay  another  electric  bill.  I  highly  recommend  solar  power  and  using  Bristol  Electronics  to  install  and  service  it.

By  LINCOLN  COMMUNITY  SCHOOL  STUDENTS LINCOLN  —  We  are  reporting  from  Lincoln  Community  School  in  Lincoln.  We  want  to  warn  people  about  three  invasive  species:  buck- thorn,  Japanese  knotweed  and  poi- son  parsnip. An  invasive  species  is  a  plant  that  takes  over  other  plant  habitats.  We  think  they  are  terrible  for  the  envi- ronment  because  they  strain  the  bio- diversity  in  the  area.  Here’s  how  all  three  invasive  spe- cies  came  to  be  in  Vermont:  buck- thorn  and  Japanese  knotweed  both  came  here  because  people  liked  them  as  an  ornamental  plant  and  brought  them  to  America.  Poison  parsnip  was  accidentally  brought  to  America  when  a  seed  was  lodged  in  the  hull  of  a  ship  in  the  late  1630s. Here’s  how  we  know  about  these  three  plants.  Our  third-  and  fourth- JUDGH FODVVHV WRRN WKUHH ¿HOG WULSV to  three  places  that  have  these  inva- sive  species.  A  third  of  the  students  went  to  Shelburne  Farms  to  study  buckthorn.  The  expert  was  a  for- ester  named  Joe  Nelson.  The  second  group  went  down  the  road  from  our  school  to  study  poison  parsnip.  The  expert  with  that  group  was  Chris  Olsen,  the  Addison  County  forester.  The  last  group  travelled  on  the  na- ture  trail  at  our  school  to  study  Japa- (See  Lincoln,  Page  16)

Starksboro man saves woman from fire By  COURTNEY  LAMDIN Milton  Independent MILTON  —  Chris  Fanning  of  Starksboro  said  he  did  what  any- one  else  would  do  when  he  pulled  an  elderly  woman  from  a  burning  home  in  Milton  this  past  Wednesday  morning. Fanning,  who  runs  a  Starksboro  plumbing,  heating  and  air  condition- ing  company  called  Pride  Mechani-Â
cal,  just  happened  to  get  a  service  call  around  10:30  a.m.  on  Nov.  4  and  saw  smoke  billowing  from  the  resi- dence  at  591  Everest  Road  in  Mil- ton.  When  he  shut  off  his  truck,  he  heard  a  woman  screaming  for  help. Fanning  rushed  to  the  house,  wrenched  open  the  front  door  and  saw  the  homeowner,  83-Âyear-Âold  Marie  O’Connor,  in  her  motorized  ZKHHOFKDLU ÂżYH IHHW IURP WKH GRRU-Â
way.  Her  chair  was  stuck,  and  she  couldn’t  get  out. “I  got  down  low,�  Fanning  said,  still  at  the  scene  an  hour  later.  “I  must  have  had  enough  adrenaline  and  just  pulled  the  chair  out  and  was  able  to  get  her  out.� Seconds  later,  there  was  an  explo- sion,  likely  one  of  the  propane  tanks,  which  were  venting  when  Milton  (See  Fanning,  Page  15)

Pet Pages Retractable leashes are convenient, but carry serious safety concerns By  M.  KATHLEEN  SHAW,  DVM Retractable  leashes.  They’re  oh,  so  convenient.  Instead  of  struggling  with  your  dog  to  stay  at  your  side,  you  can  let  them  trot  ahead  of  you  to  explore  as  far  as  18  feet  away.  Dogs  can  sniff  to  their  heart’s  content,  while  you  still  have  control  of  them,  right?  Veterinarians,  dog  trainers,  shelters  and  many  pet  owners  will  attest  this  is  actually  not  the  case  and  retractable  leashes  can  lead  to  seri- ous  behavior  problems  and  injuries  to  both  you  and  your  dog. The  skin  on  a  dog’s  leg  is  much  thinner  than  the  skin  on  a  human  leg.  If  it  gets  caught  in  the  retractable  leash,  it  can  slice  through  not  only  the  skin,  but  tendons  and  muscles,  too.  There  have  also  been  many  instances  of  the  leash  getting  caught  around  humans’  legs  —  they  always  seem  to  wrap  it  around  the  human’s  legs  at  least  once  on  a  walk  —  and  causing  severe  friction  burns.  The  same  can  happen  when  you  grab  the  thin  line  of  the  lead  —  it  can  cut  through  your  hand  like  butter. Say  you  are  walking  your  dog  with  the  leash  extended  and  he  starts  to  eat  something  in  the  bushes.  <RXU Âż UVW LQVWLQFW LV WR VD\ Âł1R ´ RU Âł/HDYH LW ´ IROORZHG E\ D JHQWOH WXJ on  the  leash.  Unfortunately,  gentle  tugs  are  often  more  forceful  when  the  dog  is  that  far  away  and  there  have  been  many  instances  of  dogs’  necks  being  injured  by  this  action. Dogs  who  see  wildlife  or  another  dog  and  bolt  to  the  end  of  the  lead  will  be  snapped  around  and  back  by  the  neck  when  they  reach  the  end  of  the  retract- able  leash,  which  can  cause  seri- ous  injury.  Alternatively,  with  a  quick  jerk,  the  locking  mechanism  may  fail,  leaving  you  with  no  control  over  your  dog  or  the  situation  at  hand. This  brings  up  the  lack  of  control  you  have  over  your  dog  when  using  a  retractable  lead.  Too  often,  owners  of  dogs  who  pull  incessantly  at  a  six-Âfoot  lead  will  use  a  retractable  lead,  substituting  training  for  conve- QLHQFH 1R RQH ZDQWV WR VWUXJJOH DQG Âż JKW ZLWK D GRJ \DQNLQJ WKHLU DUP every  time  he  decides  he  wants  to  sniff  something  further  away.  It  is  essential,  though,  that  you  keep  your  dog  on  a  short  lead  and  train  him  to  heel. Six  feet  of  leash  is  all  you  really  need.  If  your  dog  is  ten  feet  away  and  a  neighbor’s  unfriendly  dog  charges  it,  you  have  no  way  to  safely  restrain  your  dog  and  all  three  of  you  risk  getting  tangled  up  in  that  thin,  potentially  injurious  lead.  The  same  can  happen  if  your  dog  sees  a  squir- rel  or  rabbit  and  tries  to  chase  them  ² LQWR WUDIÂż F RU RII LQWR WKH ZRRGV or  brush  —  potentially  causing  you  injury.  There  have  been  instances Â
of  these  leashes  breaking  (despite  strength  claims  made  by  the  manu- facturer)  when  a  dog  chases  wildlife,  resulting  in  them  being  hit  by  a  car.

choose  to  continue  to  use  a  retract- able  leash,  shorten  it  to  six  feet  and  lock  it  there.  Talk  to  your  veteri- narian  about  basic  training  or  dog  trainers  in  the  area  to  help  you  learn  how  to  train  your  dog  to  behave  on  a  short  lead.  A  shorter,  non-Âretractable  leash  will  prevent  injuries  to  you,  your  dog,  and  other  dogs  or  wildlife  you  encounter.

“It’s  become  a  way  for  them  to  give  back,â€?  Christiane  Kokubo,  the  ODC’s  communications  specialist,  said  of  the  new  crop  of  drivers. It  was  this  past  July  31  that  the  ODC  stopped  coordinating  rides  for  migrant  workers  to  get  to  their  medical  appointments,  due  to  the  mounting  administrative  demands  the  service  was  placing  on  the  orga- nization’s  limited  staff.  The  clinic  is  based  at  Porter  Medical  Center  and  delivers  free  health  care  services  to  folks  in  the  Addison  County  area  who  are  uninsured  or  under-Âinsured.  The  ODC  also  links  qualifying  people  with  affordable  health  care  through  Vermont  Health  Connect  and  other  programs. The  ODC  last  year  provided  health  care  services  for  335  migrant  work- HUV &OLQLF RIÂżFLDOV ZHUH FRQFHUQHG that  some  of  these  patients  might  not  be  able  to  access  their  appoint- ments  —  and  meetings  with  medi- cal  specialists  in  Rutland  and  Chit- tenden  counties  —  after  the  Open  Door  Clinic  stopped  coordinating  rides.  Those  rides  were  provided  by  more  than  two-Âdozen  volunteer  drivers,  many  of  whom  also  had  to  be  lined  up  with  an  interpreter  to  facilitate  communication  with  their Â
passenger-Âpatients.  The  clinic  and  an  organization  called  Amistad  has  helped  locate  interpreters.  Amistad  —  a  Spanish  word  meaning  “friend- shipâ€?  —  is  a  grassroots  organization  that  helps  migrant  workers  over- FRPH WUDQVSRUWDWLRQ GLIÂżFXOWLHV “We  would  like  to  thank  deeply  all  our  Amistad  drivers,  who  in  2014  alone  drove  more  than  23,000  miles  to  bring  migrant  farmworkers  to  their  health  care  appointments,â€?  Kokubo  said.  “They  really  made  the  difference  in  making  Vermont  a  healthier  place  for  all.â€? The  new  crop  of  drivers  will  ne- gotiate  their  transportation  fees  with  prospective  riders,  based  on  mile- age  and  time  commitment.  Sulis  and  Kokubo  are  advising  drivers  to  be  reasonable  in  what  they  charge,  rein- forcing  the  notion  that  the  rides  are  a  way  for  the  drivers  to  help  their  peers. Open  Door  Clinic  and  Addison  County  Transit  Resources  (ACTR)  still  want  to  establish  a  coordinated  ride  program  for  migrant  workers.  The  organizations  jointly  applied  for  a  $150,000  grant  through  the  JM  Kaplan  Fund,  money  that  would  be  used  in  part  to  pay  for  a  part-Âtime  bilingual  dispatcher  and  subsidize  medical  rides  for  migrant  work-Â
ers.  JM  Kaplan  Fund  administra- tors  gave  good  marks  to  the  ODC/ ACTR  grant  application,  but  de- clined  to  fund  the  request  because  it  was  unclear  how  the  transportation  plan  could  be  replicated  on  a  broader  scale  throughout  the  state,  according  to  Sulis. &OLQLF RIÂżFLDOV KDYH QRW UXOHG out  re-Âapplying  for  a  transportation  grant.  For  now,  they  will  monitor  the  success  of  the  new  transportation  network.  The  early  returns  are  good. “Our  migrant  patients  continue  to  come  as  often  as  before,â€?  Kokubo  said.  “We  have  had  maybe  one  or  two  appointments  cancelled  due  to  the  lack  of  transportation.â€?

PAGE  36  —  Addison  Independent,  Monday,  November  9,  2015
Forum (Continued  from  Page  35) access  to  public  transportation,  shop- ping  and  health  care. Lisman  said  he  supports  efforts  to  provide  home-Âbased  care  to  seniors  and  others  who  need  it,  as  opposed  to  the  more  costly  alternative  of  nurs- ing  home  residency.  He  lamented  the  lagging  Medicaid  and  Medicare  re- imbursement  rates  that  are  making  it  LQFUHDVLQJO\ GLIÂżFXOW IRU KRPH KHDOWK agencies  to  provide  care  in  home  set- tings. But  the  best  prescription  for  health  care  reforms  —  and  most  of  the  state’s  other  ills  —  comes  down  to  building  a  stronger  economy  with  more  depend- able  revenue  streams  and  a  state  bud- get  with  better  priorities,  according  to  Lisman. “(The  state  budget)  was  not  built  for  you;Íž  it  was  built  for  the  convenience  of  the  politicians,â€?  he  said.  “The  out- come  is  that  you’re  screwed.â€? If  Vermont  is  to  retain  and  attract  the  next  generations  of  workers,  it  will  have  to  do  more  to  develop  affordable  housing  and  will  have  to  reinvest  in  its  current  housing  stock,  according  to  Lisman. SUE  MINTER Minter,  54,  called  this  “a  pivotal  time  in  our  state  and  in  our  country,  as  we  are  slowly  growing  out  of  the  great  recession.â€?  But  that  economic  growth  has  failed  to  touch  some  regions  of  the  state,  at  the  same  time  poverty  has  been  making  some  consistent  gains.
“We  now  have  20,000  children  in  poverty  in  Vermont  today,  and  we  know  that  5  percent  of  our  seniors  are  food-Âinsecure,â€?  Minter  said.  “Over- riding  all  of  this  is  the  aging  demo- graphic;Íž  fewer  young  people,  an  aging  population.â€? If  elected,  Minter  said  she’d  like  to  make  opportunities  out  of  the  state’s  challenges.  “I’m  passionate  about  building  strong  communities,  and  know  that  communities  are  central  to  the  discus- sion  we  are  having  here  today  about  the  future  of  our  state  and  our  senior  population,â€?  Minter  said. She  pointed  to  her  hometown  of  Waterbury  as  an  example  of  a  com- munity  that  has  made  great  strides  since  it  was  devastated  four  years  ago  by  Tropical  Storm  Irene.  One  of  those  post-ÂIrene  accomplishments  was  the  construction  of  a  senior  housing  cen- ter  that  includes  housing  and  a  meal  site  for  elders.  A  bus  service  takes  se- niors  to  the  center  for  meals  and  activ- ities,  and  local  school  children  walk  to  the  facility  and  interact  with  residents. Other  Vermont  communities  should  explore  similar  opportunities  for  inter- generational  facilities,  Minter  said.  And  those  opportunities  could  soon  become  more  prevalent  as  smaller  Vermont  communities  decide  whether  to  close  their  schools  amid  declining  enrollment,  according  to  Minter. As  rail  line  is  improved  along  the  state’s  western  corridor  (through Â

Middlebury),  Minter  said  there  will  be  more  opportunities  to  build  afford- able  housing  along  that  transportation  infrastructure. The  former  transportation  secretary  DFNQRZOHGJHG WKH PRXQWLQJ ÂżQDQFLDO SUHVVXUHV IRU VHQLRUV RQ Âż[HG LQFRPHV Minter  believes  Act  46  —  a  new  law  that  is  pushing  school  districts  to  con- solidate  their  governance  and  do  more  resource  sharing  —  could  do  a  lot  to  stabilize  education  taxes. “We  are  having  a  very  challenging  discussion  right  now  about  how  do  we Â

Like  Dunne,  Minter  is  intrigued  about  the  potential  for  an  Uber-Âlike  service  in  rural  Vermont.  And  she  noted  a  Middlebury  College  graduate,  Matt  George,  is  working  on  a  program  called  “Bridj,â€?  which  employs  an  app  and  a  jitney  bus  system  to  deliver  rides  that  cost  slightly  more  than  public  transportation,  but  far  less  than  a  taxi.
“Change  is  here,â€?  Minter  said,  “and  we  need  to  use  it  to  our  advantage.â€? Minter  also  advocated  for  providing  retraining  opportunities  for  older  Ver- monters  who  aren’t  ready  to  retire.  She  suggested  the  state’s  technical  centers  could  play  a  role  in  that  training.  She  suggested  that  the  state’s  more  veteran  workers  —  such  as  at  VTrans  —  take  an  active  role  in  mentoring  the  next  generation  of  employees. “Succession  planning,â€?  Minter  said.  “It’s  a  huge  problem  our  state  is  facing.â€?
