How  to  make  silk  out  of  a  sowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ear  in  New  Haven The  town  of  New  Haven  offers  an  interesting  lesson  in  the  value  of  prop-­ erty  as  it  relates  to  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  grand  list  and  tax  rates.  At  issue  is  is  a  pro-­ posal  by  Anbaric  Transmission  to  essentially  add  $130  million  to  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  current  grand  list  of  roughly  $260  million.  That  50  percent  increase  would  seemingly  create  a  huge  windfall  in  terms  of  property  tax  relief.  %XW KXJH LV D UHODWLYH WHUP DQG LW LV PLWLJDWHG E\ QXPHURXV IDFWRUV ² SUL-­ marily  that  the  increase  to  the  education  portion  of  the  tax  rate  (typically  as  much  as  75  percent  of  the  total  taxes  on  a  property)  goes  to  the  state  where  LW LV GLVSHUVHG VWDWHZLGH ZKLFK HQGV XS EHLQJ D UHODWLYHO\ VPDOO EHQHÂżW WR the  local  resident.  If  Anbaricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  proposal  were  approved  at  todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  rates,  town  taxes  would  drop  about  a  third,  meaning  that  a  house  valued  at  $200,000  and  pays  mu-­ nicipal  taxes  amounting  to  about  $750,  would  see  their  taxes  cut  to  about  $500.  As  a  percentage,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  big  number.  But  when  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  part  of  the  total  amount  of  taxes  paid  on  the  house  (education  and  municipal)  it  amounts  to  less  than  a  10  percent  decrease.  (See  story  on  Page  1A.)  Furthermore,  when  you  consider  that  about  70  percent  of  property  taxpayers  in  New  Haven  receive  income-­sensitive  rebates,  and  another  10  or  so  percent  have  land  in  current  use,  the  impact  on  the  community  is  even  less.  Now,  cutting  town  taxes  by  33  percent  is  no  small  matter  for  those  paying  full  freight,  but  saving  $250  annually,  and  on  a  declining  basis  as  deprecia-­ tion  takes  effect,  is  not  making  anyone  wealthy.  What,  then,  is  the  town  to  do?  Should  it  reject  offers  like  Anbaric  Trans-­ mission  and  shut  down  future  offers  to  tap  into  the  VELCO  substation,  or  is  there  another  approach  the  town  might  consider?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  thought:  New  Haven  residents  might  look  at  the  VELCO  substa-­ tion  as  an  asset,  not  a  liability.  How  so?  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  asset  because  it  is  the  northern  terminus  of  the  power  line  that  carries  345  kilo  volts.  The  power  lines  going  north  to  Burlington  are  far  less.  In  short,  the  town  has  an  asset  that  is  important  to  power  transmis-­ sion  companies.  Furthermore,  with  renewable  power  increasing  in  demand  (from  a  public  policy  perspective)  in  Vermont  and  southern  New  England,  that  demand  is  likely  to  grow.  With  ample  hydro  and  wind  power  available  LQ 4XHEHF WKH VXSSO\ 1HZ +DYHQ ÂżQGV LWVHOI EOHVVHG DQG FXUVHG ZLWK WKH VELCO  substation  that  can  handle  increased  capacity  to  meet  the  demand  down  south.

The  curse  is  the  visible  blight  on  the  community,  the  alleged  humming  sound  that  is  disturbing  to  nearby  residents,  and  meager  property  tax  impact.

But  if  New  Haven  thought  of  that  substation  as  a  gold  mine,  what  could  it  do?  Could  it  create  a  greater  industrial  zone  around  the  substation,  have  interested  parties  agree  to  make  nearby  residential  owners  â&#x20AC;&#x153;wholeâ&#x20AC;?  in  their  property  values,  and  then  proceed  to  create  a  commercial  zone  around  the  substation  in  which  the  town  could  create  real  value  for  its  residents  over  WKH ORQJ WHUP ² DQG SRWHQWLDOO\ DOVR KHOS WKH JUHDWHU JRRG RI WKH VWDWH DQG region  (which  the  transmission  of  renewable  power  does.)

2QH HVVHQWLDO TXHVWLRQ PXVW ÂżUVW EH DGGUHVVHG :RXOG DQ LQFUHDVH LQ SRZ-­ er  transmission  mean  the  VELCO  lines  would  need  additional  infrastructure  to  handle  the  load,  and  would  that  mean  a  further  degradation  of  property  values  along  the  length  of  the  line  to  Rutland?  That  project  was  an  aesthetic  disaster  from  the  start,  and  making  it  worse  will  undoubtedly  cause  howls  of  protests  up  and  down  the  corridor.  But  if  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  require  unsightly  up-­ grades  to  the  transmission  line,  is  there  value  in  maximizing  the  asset  the  town  has,  and  how  best  could  it  do  that?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  question  worth  pursuing.

Letters  showed  hope  for  future  In  the  Monday,  Aug.  10,  issue  of  your  paper,  there  were  letters  to  the  editor  that  gave  me  great  hope  for  the  future.

One  was  a  serious  analysis  of  the  pros  and  cons  of  local  police  acquiring  and  using  Tasers.  Another  was  about  a  seemingly  responsible  young  woman  who  accidentally  caused  the  death  of  a  local  cyclist,  possibly  due  largely  to  driving  un-­ GHU WKH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH RI DOFRKRO DV ZHOO as  several  medications  prescribed  by  a  physician  (that  affect  neurological  functioning)  and  the  likely  relative  meager  legal  consequence  for  such  an  offense.

The  third  letter  was  from  a  lo-­ cal  woman  who  made  a  banner  for  peace  that  was  used  when  a  deceased  local  peace  activist,  Fay  Honey  Knopp,  participated  in  a  1982  demonstration  to  encircle  the  Pentagon  with  a  ribbon  of  peace.

Both  the  writers  of  these  letters  and  your  paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  decision  to  publish  them  in  that  one  issue  furnished  a  measure  of  hope  to  this  95-­year-­old  former  peace  activist,  when  so  many  other  items  in  current  news  media  furnish  only  reason  for  loss  of  such  hope  for  humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future.

Between The Lines

Candidate  muddies  GOP  picture I  have  recently  written  several  columns  arguing  that  2016  could  be  a  good  year  for  Vermont  Republicans.  Lt.  Gov.  Phil  Scott  could  be  a  strong  candidate  for  gover-­ nor,  and  Republicans  could  continue  making  gains  in  the  Legislature,  especially  the  House.

However,  the  Vermont  GOP  also  faces  its  share  of  challenges  in  2016.  One  of  them  is  the  national  Republi-­ can  Party,  whose  presidential  nominee,  whoever  it  is,  is  not  likely  to  do  well  in  Vermont.  Closer  to  home,  another  challenge  is  the  gubernatorial  candidacy  of  Bruce  Lis-­ man.

Lisman  is  a  native  Vermonter  who  grew  up  in  modest  circumstances.  Af-­ ter  graduating  from  UVM,  he  moved  to  New  York,  and  rose  through  the  ranks  of  the  investment  bank  Bear  Stearns.  In  2008,  when  Bear  Stea-­ rns  failed  and  was  purchased  by  J.P.  Morgan  Chase,  Lisman  was  co-­head  By  Eric  L.  Davis of  global  equities  trading.  He  then  left  Wall  Street  and  returned  to  Vermont,  establishing  Campaign  for  Vermont,  an  organization  advocating  lower  taxes  and  spending,  regulatory  reform  and  economic  development.  /LVPDQ KDV QHYHU KHOG HOHFWLYH RIÂżFH DOWKRXJK KH GLG serve  as  the  chair  of  the  UVM  Board  of  Trustees.  He  has  been  a  member  of  many  other  boards  in  both  the  private  DQG QRQSURÂżW VHFWRUV /LVPDQ KDV GHFLGHG WR UXQ IRU JRY-­ ernor  in  2016.  He  will  seek  the  Republican  nomination  rather  than  run  as  an  independent  in  the  General  Election.  By  entering  the  Republican  primary,  Lisman  will  like-­ ly  learn  that  Phil  Scott,  assuming  the  lieutenant  governor  runs,  will  be  a  formidable  opponent.  After  15  years  in Â

The  Vermont  Republican  Party  has  recently  tried  to  position  itself  as  standing  up  for  the  interests  of  hard-­ pressed  middle-­income  Vermonters.  Scott  has  demon-­ strated  a  strong  appeal  to  that  constituency.  Lisman  did  grow  up  in  a  middle-­class  household  in  Burlington,  and  he  did  head  a  depart-­ ment  other  than  the  one  that  caused  Bear  Stearns  to  collapse.  Still,  would  nominating  a  gubernatorial  candi-­ date  who  was  a  senior  executive  in  a  failed  Wall  Street  bank  have  broad  support  among  Vermont  voters,  in  both  the  Republican  primary  and  the  General  Election?  By  entering  the  Republican  prima-­ ry,  Lisman  will  force  Scott  to  spend  money  on  a  primary  campaign  that  he  would  rather  save  for  the  General  Election.  The  ben-­ H¿FLDULHV RI WKLV VWUDWHJ\ ZLOO EH WKH 'HPRFUDWLF FDQGL-­ dates  for  governor,  who  are  looking  at  a  competitive  and  potentially  costly  primary  themselves.

If  Lisman  had  decided  to  bypass  the  Republican  pri-­ mary  and  run  as  an  independent  in  the  General  Election,  his  candidacy  could  have  ended  up  hurting  the  Republi-­ can  nominee,  whether  it  is  Scott  or  someone  else.  There  would  not  have  been  many  policy  differences  between  Lisman  and  the  Republican  candidate.  Whatever  votes  (See  Davis,  Page  5A)

Vermont  has  fought  for  indepen-­ dence  forever.  Becoming  totally  dependent  on  another  country  for  our  energy  should  not  be  allowed.

But  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  that  word  again,  that  awful  â&#x20AC;&#x153;butâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Bernie  Sanders  is  not  going  to  be  the  next  president.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  seen  this  movie  before.  By  next  April  after  the  March  Madness  primaries  where  only  extremely  well  funded  candidates  can  compete,  he  might  not  even  be  an  active  candi-­ date  anymore.

Because  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  remember?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  game  is  rigged.  Absent  extraordi-­ nary  circumstances  and  the  support  of  the  powerful,  nobody  makes  it  to  the  White  House.  Gene  McCarthy  and  Barry  Goldwater  learned  that.  So  did  George  McGovern.

The  best  argument  against  that  assertion,  of  course,  is  the  current  president.  Against  pretty  much  in-­ surmountable  odds,  a  black  man  with  a  name  that  sounded  like  a  ter-­ roristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  won  the  presidency  in  2008.  He  beat  the  best  known  woman  in  the  world  during  the  primaries  and  then  he  whipped  a  war  hero.

So  yes,  political  miracles  do  hap-­ pen.  But  Barack  Obama  is  truly  one  in  6  billion.  Aside  from  his  inspiring  personal Â

story  and  singular  rhetorical  gifts,  Obama  had  opposed  a  Mideastern  war  that  Americans  had  come  to  un-­ derstand  was  a  colossal  mistake.  His  primary  Democratic  opponent,  Hill-­ ary  Clinton,  had  supported  that  war.  So  did  his  General  Election  foe,  Sen.  John  McCain.  What  is  more,  in  2008  the  coun-­ try  was  on  the  brink  of  an  economic  meltdown.  Even  George  Bush  saw  that  the  wise  course  of  action  was  a  huge  infusion  of  cash  and  Keynes-­ ian  economics  into  the  teetering  economy.  Obama  was  on  the  right  side  of  that  one,  too,  while  McCain  hemmed  and  hawed.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  different  scenario  this  time  around.  We  no  longer  appear  to  be  on  the  eve  of  destruction.  Most  Democrats  truly  do  feel  that  Hillary  Clinton  has  earned  the  nomination,  and  the  party  wants  to  make  history  a  second  time  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  not  with  a  white  male  but  with  a  woman.

The  sheer  brute  truth  is  that  Ber-­ nie  Sanders  is  too  dangerous  and  the  party  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  allow  him  to  be  nomi-­ nated.  Call  that  the  cynicism  of  a  longtime  observer  who  remembers  when  JFK  was  killed.  Who  watched  people  go  Clean  for  Gene  and  saw Â

Bobby  Kennedy  launch  a  power-­ ful  campaign  that  ended  when  the  GUHDP ZHQW GRZQ RQ D KRWHO Ă&#x20AC;RRU Instead  we  got  Richard  Nixon  and  six  more  years  of  war.

Through  all  that  and  Reagan,  too,  a  lot  of  us  concluded  that  Amer-­ ica  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  changed  from  the  top  down.  That  the  best  bet  to  do  truly  powerful  work  is  at  the  grassroots  level.

Republicans  should  at  least  be  pleased  that  Lisman  decided  not  to  run  as  an  independent.  By  dividing  the  non-­Democratic  vote,  a  Lis-­ man  independent  candidacy  would  have  made  it  easier  for  a  Democrat  WR ¿QLVK ¿UVW LQ D PXOWL FDQGLGDWH race.  This  would  be  especially  so  if  the  Progressive  Party  decides  not  to  nominate  a  candidate  for  governor,  but  instead  concentrates  on  an  open  OLHXWHQDQW JRYHUQRUœV RI¿FH DQG picking  up  seats  in  the  Legislature.

None  of  these  will  shut  down  their  Sherlock,  quench  their  Quincy  or  contain  their  Columbo.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  have  to  keep  on  answering  questions: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just  a  twist  and  a  pop,  OK?  â&#x20AC;Ś  Yes,  it  does  hurt.  â&#x20AC;Ś  Yes,  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  bike  or  run  or  go  upstairs  or  whatever.  â&#x20AC;Ś  Yes,  it  is  really  too  bad  it  happened  in  the  middle  of  the  summer.  â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś  On  and  on  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;til  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  feel  com-­ pletely  bummed.

The  time  spent  asking  these  ques-­ tions  gives  their  brains  time  to  go  to  the  next  level.  The  next  set  of  questions  will  be  all  about,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wrong  with  this  guy  that  he  broke  his  ankle  twice?â&#x20AC;?  (Its  actually  three  times  if  you  want  to  include  the  slip  on  ice  in  Ann  Arbor  15  years  ago,  but  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  telling  them  that.)  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  trying  to  dream  up  an  answer  that  will  shut  them  up.

This  answer  is  actually  the  truth:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both  injuries  occurred  the  day  after  aggressive  bouts  of  exercise,  which,  as  you  know,  is  disruptive  to  muscle  spindles,  causing  reset  of  the  nuclear  EDJ DQG FKDLQ ÂżEHU OHQJWK DQG ÂżULQJ rate  within  the  muscle  spindle,  thus  creating  aberrant  1A  neuron  signal-­ ing  that  creates  false  kinesthetic  sensation  and  dampens  automated  righting  responses.â&#x20AC;?

This  winter  when  I  tried  that  one  on  people  I  found  that  nobody  re-­ ally  wants  to  hear  the  truth.  Except  my  exercise  physiology  friend  who  thinks  this  is  a  really  cool  theory.  But  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  geek.  He  wanted  me  to  do  it  again  to  prove  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  right.  I  can  tell  you  as  of  today,  I  am  right,  thank  you.

There  are  the  environmental  answers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  sort  of  sunny  both  days,  maybe  the  sun  got  in  my  eyes.â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Middlebury.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  on  hills,  you  know. Â

Very  hilly.â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  pancakes  both  days.  Did  YOU  ever  try  to  walk  straight  with  a  .10  maple  syrup  breathalyzer?â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont.  True  north  and  magnetic  north  are  not  exactly  the  same  there.  Very  disorienting.â&#x20AC;?

I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  any  of  these  answers  will  shut  them  up.  We  do  have  the  nuclear  option.  The  one  answer  guar-­ anteed  to  shut  them  up.  But  at  a  cost: â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  darn  brain  tumor  again.  Someday  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  have  to  get  it  shelled  out.  Too  busy  this  year.â&#x20AC;?  Then  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  cry.  Then  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  have  to  shave  my  head  and  smile  heroically  for  about  3  months  while  the  hair  grows  back.  Everyone  will  donate  money  to  some  brain  tumor  group  and  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  feel  guilty  for  misleading  them,  but  not  man  enough  to  admit  the  lie.  So  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  have  to  become  a  poster  child  for  some  kind  of  new  aggressive  treatment.  But  then  the  religious  right  will  get  on  my  case  for  condoning  the  grinding  up  dead  babies  and  spitting  them  out  on  a  3D  printer.  I  guess  the  nuclear  option  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  right  for  Iran  or  for  me.

So,  heck.  I  think  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  just  avoid  people  altogether  for  a  while  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;til  I  think  of  the  right  one-­liner.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  nothing  else  to  do.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  just  sit  at  the  window  looking  out  over  the  lake.  I  can  see  that  the  path  is  half-­trimmed  and  the  ladderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  lying  in  front  of  the  cabin.  The  porch  screens  are  still  ripped  even  though  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  the  sup-­ SOLHV WR Âż[ WKHP , KDYHQÂśW Âż[HG WKH water  heater  or  the  hole  where  the  PLFH ÂżQG WKHLU ZD\ LQWR WKH SODFH LQ winter  or  the  broken  door  hinge.  No  choice.  Feet  up,  watching  the  lake,  the  mountains  and  the  setting  sun.

Hey!  Now  that  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  sitting  here  â&#x20AC;Ś  that  one-­liner  just  came  to  me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  heard  people  loved  to  take  a  fall  break  in  Vermont.  So  I  fell  and  broke  something.â&#x20AC;?
