High property taxes repelling businesses, jobs Vermont ranked among highest taxes of the 50 states By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you can’t afford the boot.” —Rep. Tom Stevens

Vermont House overrides Governor’s veto of minimum wage bill By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Democrats and Progressives in the Vermont State Legislature got the final say on the state’s minimum wage controversy. Today, the majority of DemocratProgressive lawmakers overrode Republican Gov. Phil Scott’s recent veto of S23 or Senate Bill 23. As a result of the override, Vermont’s minimum wage will now increase to $12.55 on Jan. 1, 2022. As first reported by an Eagle associate, Guy Page of the Vermont Daily Chronicle this morning, the House vote was 100-49. The Senate voted in the majority earlier to override Scott’s contested veto. “You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you can’t afford the boot,” Rep. Tom Stevens (D-Waterbury) said as
he voted to override Scott. But not all Democrats were in lock step with Stevens. Rep. Cynthia Browning (D-Arlington) expressed her opposition to S23 from the start. “If the cost of something goes up, people will use less of it. Many businesses will….cut payroll,” she said on the House floor today. “(This is) too much, too soon.” S23 isn’t the first time Scott has faced opposition from the legislature in the current session. The two parties also locked horns over H107, the House’s Paid Family Leave Bill. Governor Scott also vetoed that bill. A short time later, Democrats and Progressives attempted to override Scott’s H107 veto. But that effort died on the House floor on Feb. 3. No matter, today’s override of S23 succeeded while the H107 effort did not. See MINIMUM WAGE » pg. 2
MIDDLEBURY | WalletHub, the online personal finance website is at it again. This time, a new WalletHub study places Vermont in a dubious top 10 position: that being the nation’s fourth highest property tax state. “Each year, the average American household spends $2,375 on real-estate property taxes plus another $441 for residents of the 27 states with vehicle property taxes,” said WalletHub’s Diana Polk. Not surprisingly, Polk added, more than $14 billion in property taxes goes unpaid every year. The National Tax Lien Association backs up the that figure. Polk noted that “in order to determine who pays the most relative to their state, we released our 2020 Property Taxes by State report which compares home and vehicle taxes across the nation and features insights from a panel of experts.” States, in descending order, with the highest real-estate taxes: New York, Nebraska, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Illinois, and New Jersey. Regarding Vermont’s dubious high ranking, there are clear reasons why state tax policy works against goals of economic and job development. According to Dr. Mitchell Franklin, chairman of the Department of Accounting of Le Moyne College, “In high tax states (like Vermont), higher property taxes do nothing more than deter business and take jobs to more tax-friendly venues. Business is more mobile than it was in the 1950s. Taxes are currently a large part of the bottom line. If an organization needs to cut costs, and there is a way to cut taxes by moving to an area with lower property taxes, they will go. “When lawmakers and the media look at taxes, the focus is too much on the income tax, and property taxes are ignored. Even with lower income tax rates, property taxes in many areas (like northern New England) are so high, that there is still a disincentive to expand and stay in certain parts of the country,” Franklin added. Surprisingly, WalletHub found that Hawaii has the lowest real-estate tax, $560, which is nine times lower than in New Jersey, the state with the highest at $5,064. Democratic Blue States have 21.12 percent higher real-estate property taxes, averaging $2,542, than lower-tax Republican Red States, averaging $2,099.

“Girls on the Run” comes to Addison County
Four local schools to host activities By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Four elementary schools in Addison County will play host to Girls on the Run Vermont activities this spring. Girls on the Run has inspired Vermont girls for 21 years. The organization’s data shows that it has pisiviely impacted the lives of 47,000 girls since its inception. This season, Girls on the Run will be offered locally as well as at locations in northern Vermont. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based,
positive youth development program that inspires girls in third through eighth grade to develop self esteem through physical activity. According to Richele Young, Girls on the Run’s marketing and communications manager, the all-volunteer led program brings together groups of girls for a ten-week program that encourages personal development, team building and connection to the community. “This season, Girls on the Run will be offered at approximately 80 locations in northern Vermont,” Young said. “Each team will meet twice a week for 90 minutes after school and participate in research-based lessons that use dynamic discussions and fun running games to teach life skills. The season will culminate in a 5k event, on June 6 at the Champlain Valley Exposition, that brings together family, friends and community members to celebrate the girls’ growth throughout the season.” With trained coaches ready to empower these girls, Girls on the Run (grades 3-5) and Heart & Sole (grades 6-8) is currently set to take place at the following Addison County sites: Beeman Elementary, Bristol Elementary School, Mary Hogan School, and Lincoln Community School. Girls on the Run’s Young said the organization is still in need of volunteers in Addison County.
When Girls on the Run Vermont was started in 1999 by Nancy Heydinger, it was with only 15 girls. Now, the non-profit serves an annual 2,700 participants at more than 170 sites throughout the state. Photo provided “Girls on the Run Vermont still needs coaches,” she said. “Coaches do not need to be runners but are required to be a minimum of 18 years old. All volunteer coaches must complete a background check and view online training modules.”
If you are interested in helping, visit Girls on the Run’s website at www.gotrvt.org/ coach for all the details. The program fee for the Addison County program is $100 and financial aid is available to girls who qualify. ■

The next potential clash between Scott and the Legislature is likely to be S54, the so-called commercial cannabis bill. “It moved closer towards a vote on the House floor, following a narrow 6-5 vote of approval by the House Appropriations Committee Monday,” according to Page. “The bill would levy a six percent sales tax and a 14 percent excise tax; 30% of the excise tax would go to substance-abuse prevention, Appropriations decided. It also reduced the number of full-time cannabis control board members from five to three.” Following the overturning of his S23 veto, Scott restated his concerns about increasing the minimum wage. “My concerns for this bill, based on fiscal analysis from the Legislature’s Joint Fiscal Office, have been that the negative impacts on Vermont’s economy, workers’ hours and jobs will outweigh the positive benefits, especially in our more rural areas,” he said. “These concerns were shared by legislators of both parties. However, with the Legislature choosing to override these concerns, I hope for the sake of our rural communities they are correct. We simply cannot sustain more job losses or closed businesses, particularly outside the greater Burlington area. While disappointing, it’s now more important than ever to move forward and focus on policies that actually grow the economy, make Vermont more affordable, attract more to our workforce to reverse our demographic crisis and help workers move up the economic ladder with more skills for better paying jobs.” ■
Losing a pet is a very emotional thing. It’s really important that all animals have identification so they can be returned to their owners. An I.D. tag on your pet’s collar is the easiest method. The tag should include your name, address, telephone number and the pet’s name. If there’s extra space, the phone number of the veterinarian is also a good idea. If you move, make sure you get a new tag for your animal with your new contact information. Pets can also be microchipped. Many humane societies and veterinarians have a scanner which identifies if an animal has a microchip. If there’s a microchip, a telephone call is made to identify the owner. Either way, please take a moment and check that your favorite pet has identification so you can get him back safe and sound in a hurry. If you have any questions, please call the Rutland County Humane Society at 802-483-6700.
WALLE | Seven-year-old pit mix neutered male black and white.
I arrived at the shelter on Oct. 28 as a stray from Rutland. I really don’t care for treats but love, love, love to be as close to you as possible. I will just lean into you with head held high and smile. I really like to play with all sorts of dog toys but I do have to say that tennis balls and squeaky toys are my favorite. I think

you will agree that I am one handsome boy. My friends here at the shelter say that I can pull and tug pretty hard when walking so maybe a harness would be beneficial. I do get very reactive when I see another dog. I know this may sound selfish but I would really like to be the only dog in the home so that I can have all the attention. I do not have any history with cats or children.
CHLOE | Seven-year-old spayed female domestic short hair black.
I am a beautiful sleek black lady with gorgeous gold eyes and yes, I do have a lot of stories to tell. I really would like to start the New Year with my forever family. I would love to snuggle on your lap while you give me a nice brushing. When it is time for a little taste of wet food, I will surely let you know, so listen closely. I arrived at the shelter in July 2019 from a busy shelter in West Virginia. I like it here in the Green mountain state and am so glad to be here. Things seem to be a calmer pace up here in the North and I enjoy that feeling. I was in a home previously in the South and I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to get settled into my forever home here in Vermont.
BAILEY | Adult guinea pig brown and white.
I am a pretty shy at first when you meet me. However, I have a lot of love to
give. I spend my days just hanging out around the shelter. My favorite snack of choice is Hay. I will follow the hay around until I get my chance to eat it. I would do best in a calm household since I am so shy. However, with proper socialization I could warm up to the right person. I enjoying having all my hard toys to chew on and would love to be given treats! If you are interested in getting a Guinea Pig for your household come and meet me.
SAM | Ten-year-old neutered male himalayan chocolate.
Sorr y I am here, I promise. Just sometimes I get scared and hide under things. I am Sam. Sam I am. I arrived to the shelter at the beginning of February as an owner surrender. I just did not get along with the other cat in the household. Which means I would do best in a house where I am the only animals in it. I need a pretty stressfree environment because I get chronic UTI from stress. I am currently on food to help me with that. If you have a stressfree house for me, I would love to meet you. After I warm up to you I am a very lovable guy to be around. ■

Facing our coronavirus fears
From the editor
As a boy, I remember my maternal grandmother talking about the great Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-20. Today’s coronavirus panic is evocative of the 20th century’s greatest viral outbreak. Born in 1889, my grandmother died in 1989 at the age of 100. But back in 1918, at the end of World War I, she was 29 years old, married, and the mother of two young children. My mother was a one-year-old toddler in 1918. And my mom’s other sibling at that time, her brother Johnnie, was a growing, intelligent lad of six. Johnnie was described, by all family accounts, as a bright and sensitive boy who showed academic and athletic promise. The future must have looked very bright for little Johnnie. Yet in 1920, at the age of eight, Johnnie became one of the millions of worldwide victims of the Spanish flu. I learned that Johnnie’s death was a great shock to my grandparents, although my mother was too young to
remember much of her brother’s young life. One of my mom’s earliest memories, at the age of three, is her parent’s home draped in black crepe with the neighbors, also dressed in black, dropping by to pay their respects. Thankfully, my mother survived the great 1918-20 pandemic. And while she came down with scarlet fever a short time later, she survived that illness, too, and went on to enjoy the life of a centenarian (now, plus three). Today’s version of a pandemic nightmare is the 2020 coronavirus outbreak. Yet when compared to 1918-20, the current outbreak appears rather small: so far, 2,942 deaths are from the cornoavirus, compared to 50 million-plus deaths caused by the Spanish flu. We say this not to diminish the lives of coronavirus victims but to provide perspective and help calm present fears. Why bother? Well, human fear is a powerful force to unleash, especially when it occurs needlessly en masse. At the moment, N-class (and other) surgical face masks are flying off the shelves nationwide. This run-on face
masks says a lot about these basic human fears. For example, here in Addison County, Vermont, local drug store staffers are reporting empty shelves; that is, every surgical-style face mask package, regardless of its true effectiveness against a virus, has been sold out within the past few weeks. Ditto, druggists we canvassed via telephone across the lake in New York. On Feb. 29, the U.S. Surgeon General addressed the face mask problem. He Tweeted a stern warning to American citizens about scarfing up the masks: “Seriously people-STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing (the) general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!” While the current virus outbreak is nothing to sneeze at (if you’ll pardon the pun), the best way to fight our collective pandemic fears is armed with accurate information and remaining calm. Especially, don’t be tricked by those individuals or groups making a
bad situation even worse by exploiting our fears for some hidden agenda. Financial and business blogger Josh Steimle has penned some wise lay observations about “fear” which deserve repeating here, especially in light of the sometimes hyperbolic news about coronavirus. “Fear exists to keep us safe,” Steimle wrote. “It is not inherently bad or good but a tool we can use to make better decisions... When fear strikes consider whether the correct action might be to analyze the options and make a wise, well thought out choice, rather than jumping to what seems right in the heat of the moment... Embrace fear as instruction and let it inform your actions, but not control them.” Yes, by all means be cautious when it comes to the coronavirus, but first listen to our health experts (and your family physician) before running out to buy the last surgical face mask in town. And just as the British government publicly posted in the darkest days of the London Blitz, “Stay calm and carry on.” — The Eagle ■
Thoughts from behind the pressline
Lessons to learn from COVID-19 By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER
The coronavirus and its effects on the earth’s population and the many daily decisions we and others make have all come under intense scrutiny. In this worldwide pandemic scare are many lessons to be learned about how we conduct our lives, the investments we make, and even simple hygienic choices we make throughout the day. Lesson one is not to overreact or panic: We should take comfort in knowing that in this country our medical expertise, and already in place safeguards, should improve our chances of limiting the overall impact on the nation. Lesson two is that contagions, politics, and finances create the worst possible public reaction.:
Election year or not, this is no time for either side to “weaponize” a virus for either political or financial gain. Just like it’s not ok to charge 500% more for an antiviral mask than it was before this virus began to spread, it also not ok to use this virus as an opportunity to score political points. This is a time to unite and work together. Not just in this country but worldwide as we share research and knowledge to defend against major outbreaks that sooner or later could reach our loved ones. Lesson three shows us the risks of outsourcing important raw materials and certain critical production facilities outside the continent: We are just beginning to learn that we may face many shortages in pharmaceutical components and other imported products due to short-sided corporate profiteers. We’ve become far too dependent on China, and from this experience, we should recognize the need to rebalance our manufacturing supply chain practices.
Lesson four is basic personal hygiene: We should have known from a young age, and this is that mother was always right about washing our hands and touching our face. Influenza is far more deadly here in the U.S. than COVID-19 yet the best weapon we have for avoiding the spread of it is to wash our hands regularly and avoids rubbing our eyes and touching our faces. All deadly threats are best handled with common sense, a clear-headed approach and transparency. These reactions should come as no surprise to anyone, yet it’s the simple things we’ve learned in the past that are the last things we seem to think about whenever we are faced with something new. Our human frailties cause us to react too slowly when something new surprises us, and we refuse to acknowledge that we need help. Let’s all do our part to ensure this virus doesn’t get a foothold here by following the advice of our national experts and don’t forget to wash those hands frequently. ■

Women hikers take a break while hiking a portion of Vermont’s then uncompleted Long Trail in the summer of 1920. Outdoorsman James P. Taylor first came up with the idea of the Long Trail along the spine of the Green Mountain range in 1909. And within a year, work began on blazing the rocky trail. The Long Trail was a pioneering path since it is hailed as America’s first long-distance walking path. Building the trail encountered many physical obstacles. It wasn’t completed until 1930.

M I D D L E B U R Y | L a st we ek , Ver mont Republican Party Chair Deb Billado called on Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) to release his health and tax records. “Americans deserve to know the well-being of their leaders,” Billado said in a public statement calling for Sanders to be transparent. “At 78 years of age, Bernie Sanders would be the oldest president to be elected in the history of the United States,”she added. “Yet, despite his past promises, Sanders refuses to release his comprehensive medical records. This is especially troubling considering the candidate’s heart attack within the last year.”
Sanders, at 78, is the oldest of the 2020 presidential candidates including President Trump (age 73). Billado said Sanders should also release his tax records. “...Sanders should also release his full 2019 tax returns (as soon as they are fi nalized)... It is notable that Sanders’ previous attacks on ‘millionaires’ have been replaced by his emphasis on ‘billionaires’, perhaps due to the immense wealth he has successfully accumulated in the capitalist economy he is all-too eager to disparage. Few Americans are fortunate to have three homes, including two just miles from one another (one in Burlington and one in Grand Isle).” Billado also called on Vermont Democrats to join their counterparts in Florida in condemning Sanders’ praise of Cuba’s late Communist dictator Fidel Castro. “Fidel Castro was a notorious authoritarian politician, infamous for his human rights violations, repression of basic freedoms, and the unimaginable economic hardship he caused Cubans,” Billado noted. ■

What to do with your 2020 tax refund: Just spend it! By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | It’s tax season. April 15 is just around the corner. And soon, you’ll be receiving your 2020 tax refund. On average, Americans receive about $3,000 in refunds. Not bad, eh? Of course you could bank this year’s refund, but why not have a little fun and spend it on something that’s special just for you and your family? While the folks at Turbotax are best known for helping us file our annual, personal income taxes, each year they happen to offer fun, clever ideas about how to artfully spend our refund checks, too. So, we’re happy to share some of Turbotax’s suggestions with you. 1. Take a trip: There are local travel agents who can help you find the best way to plan a trip with your tax refund. You don’t have to go to the latest trendy place, like Bali, to have a spirit-lifting travel experience. Why not stay closer to home and stretch your refund dollars? We’re sure a travel agent will have lots of creative ideas for the best trip your refund money can buy. 2. The thrill of it all: Ok, you’ve always wanted to get behind the wheel of a pricey muscle car. So, why rent a new Corvette or Mustang for a weekend? Many local rental agencies can help you connect with your inner Steve McQueen. Curious about a zipline, an alpine slide, a beer-, wineand cider-tasting tour, or a dog-sled ride or a horse-drawn sleigh through the snowy woods? Well, there are many fun
outdoor experiences to explore all around Vermont. How about renting a motorboat or houseboat at a local marina on Lake Champlain? Ever consider taking scubadiving lessons? Maybe even go skydiving above Addison County? There are so many local opportunities for outdoor experiences; just use your imagination and the local Yellow Pages. 3. Go shopping: Many local retailers offer tax-season promotions. If you’re not sure, call a retailer and inquire. If you need a new lawnmower or snowblower, why not look for a store that offers an incentive to spend your refund there? How about buy local gift cards for yourself, your kids, or other loved ones? 4. Treat yourself: Go ahead, treat yourself to a long, full-body massage. Visit a nearby day spa for a facial or reflexology session. There are several ideal, self-pampering venues to choose from all around Addison and Rutland counties. 5. Home-improvement projects: Turbotax suggests a few good ways to spend your refund-jazz up the old abode. Why not use your refund to spruce up your house? New kitchen appliances, a bathroom redo, new windows, downspouts, landscaping, or even a new roof. Take a look around the house. There are plenty of projects we avoid when the money isn’t handy. Now, with a few bucks from your tax refund, you can tackle those “honey do” or wish lists.

6. Be a philanthropist: There are many local nonprofits that have a positive impact on our community. The John Graham Food Shelf, United Way of Addison County, Homeward Bound Animal Shelter, a church, to name juts a few. So, why not help out? Or donate to one of the many local 5K runs or other upcoming charitable causes. Remember, your charitable donation this year can be written off on your next year’s return. 7. Back to school: A tax refund also means your chance to take that college course you’ve always been interested in. With your refund you can also learn a musical instrument or take an art or woodworking class, or even learn how to fix your own automobile. Check out Middlebury’s CCV campus or the Patricia Hannaford Career Center for a list of scheduled adult-education classes. 8. Discover a new hobby: Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to golf or crosscountry ski? Well, here’s your opportunity to just do it. Your IRS tax refund might literally get you off the ground, too; why not become a private or sport pilot? Call the Middlebury or Rutland airports for details. 9. Get fit, lose weight: Addison County is blessed with top-notch physical fitness clubs. Why not consider a membership? You can go swimming, receive weight training instruction, and get on the healthy path to a fitter, slimmer you. 10. Make someone happy: Baby boomers may remember the 1950s TV series “The Millionaire”. Rich man John Beresford Tipton, Jr., handed out million-dollar checks to total strangers he thought needed his help. Well, your tax refund isn’t going to make you a millionaire, but you can surprise someone you know who may need a boost. “Secretly pay the dinner bill for a harried couple and their two kids at a local restaurant. Buy a gift card and slip it under the door of a neighbor who you know is going through hard times. Tip extravagantly at the local diner and surprise your waitress or go out to dinner with your friends and surprise them by paying the bill. It doesn’t take much to make someone’s day unexpectedly bright,” Turbotax suggests. But before you cash your refund check, remember the immortal advice of author Donita K. Paul: “No decision should ever be made on an empty shopping bag.” ■

Emmett joins soccer coaching staff From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury College has announced the hiring of Robert Emmett as an assistant men’s soccer coach. He comes to Middlebury having spent the last three years as an assistant at Division I Binghamton University. “I am honored to have the opportunity to join the Middlebury men’s soccer program,” expressed Emmett. “I am looking forward to working alongside head coach Alex Elias and the rest of the staff, while continuing the tradition of success for this program. I am excited to create relationships with our student-athletes, while helping them succeed both in the classroom and on the field.” “We are eager and excited to have Robert join our coaching staff,” stated Elias. “He has worked with and learned from top-coaches,
most recently with Paul Marco of Binghamton. Rob’s exposure to high level players, coaches and soccer environments will help us immediately inject new energy and ideas into our program. Along with his top character, he brings a high level of professionalism and work ethic, and he will subsequently add a lot of value on and off the field to the Middlebury men’s soccer program.” Emmett is a 2014 graduate of SUNY Cortland where he earned a bachelor’s degree in sport management with a minor in communications. He also obtained his master’s degree in sport management from SUNY Cortland in 2016. He played for the Red Dragons from 2010-2013 as a goalkeeper. Following graduation, he was an assistant coach for his alma mater for two years, spending time with both the men’s (2015) and women’s (2014) programs. During his time
with the men, he helped coach six players to all-conference laurels. Emmett spent the 2016-17 season with Lake Erie College where he assisted in leading the Storm to its secondmost victories in a single season. The defense ranked in the top-10 nationally in several statistical categories, including shutouts (third), goals-against average (fourth), save percentage (ninth). During this time, he aided in coaching six players to all-conference and all-tournament honors, including the 2016 GLIAC Goalkeeper of the Year. After his time with the Storm, he spent three seasons at NCAA Division I Binghamton University. Emmett helped mentor nine allconference selections, as well as, the 2017 America East Rookie of the Year. During his final season, he helped guide the team back into the America East Playoffs.
