GRANVILLE | Gov. Phil Scott is seeking candidates from the Orange-Washington-Addison (O-W-A) district to fill the Vermont House of Representatives seat recently vacated by Rep. Ben Jickling formerly of Randolph.

Jickling, 25, has since moved to Wisconsin as an employee of software maker Epic Systems. He had served in the House as an independent since 2016.

“With bittersweet emotions, I will be leaving my seat in the legislature,” Jickling wrote in a recent email to supporters. “I will be working with the governor’s office in the replacement process, and I have no doubt that a strong and independent person will step forward to represent our district well.”

Scott said he intends to follow the tradition of filling the vacancy with an independent.

“Serving in the legislature is an excellent opportunity to give back to your state and community, and contribute to the betterment of Vermont,” Scott said. “I’ll be looking for someone who is committed to their community, understands the challenges and opportunities ahead of Vermont, and who brings a commonsense and pragmatic perspective that reflects the values of the district.”

Candidates must be a full-time resident of the district, which includes Braintree (Orange County), Brookfield (Orange), Granville (Addison County), Randolph (Orange) and Roxbury (Washington County). Granville is the sole Addison County town served by the O-W-A district.

The O-W-A state house district is also represented by Democratic Rep. Jay Hooper. The second seat, currently vacant, is what Scott hopes to fill soon.

As of the 2010 census, a total of 8,305 civilians reside within Vermont’s OrangeWashington-Addison state house district.

The district’s two state representatives represent an average of roughly 4,172 residents.

According to Ballotpedia, each member represents roughly 4,059 residents (2000 census).

To apply for the seat, email a letter of interest and a resume to EXE.Appointments@ vermont.gov. Applications must be received by close of business Friday, Nov. 15. ■

MIDDLEBURY | A recent public radio-TV poll in Vermont found strong public support for the local dairy industry.

The poll found 93% of Vermonters surveyed support dairy farming.

“These independent (polling) results are encouraging as we try to grow the Vermont economy,” said Agriculture Secretary Anson Tebbetts. “We are working hard to improve the livelihood for dairy farmers throughout Vermont. One major way to have an impact is to improve the outlook for dairy farming.”

The poll asked respondents “how important do you think the dairy industry is to Vermont’s sense of itself?” Of those surveyed, 72% said “very important”, 21% replied “somewhat

important”, 3% responded “not too important”, 2% said “not important at all”, 2% reported “not sure or refused”. A total of 801 respondents were surveyed.

In response to the poll results, Tebbetts said the Vermont Milk Commission is expanding its grassroots network “advocating for change in how farmers are paid for their product.” The agency, and partners like the Vermont Farm Bureau, believe its long-term plan will help family farms survive in the future.

“Agriculture is critical to improving Vermont’s rural economy.

We believe we can offer more support for our farmers and processors by working with an Ag Agency employee as part of our day-to-day work team,” Commerce Secretary Lindsay Kurrle said.

Tebbetts added that, “Vermonters support farms and farmers.

It’s our duty to make sure farmers have the tools and finances to remain on their farms and land, so we can continue to develop our collective vision for Vermont with the contributions of our farmers, dairy, and all agriculture.”

BRANDON | The Brandon Area Toy Project is in full swing once again, in Brandon. Begun as a charity which delivered toys to needy children in Brandon, it has grown to provide a myriad of services, events and goods to children in a five-town area; Brandon, Goshen, Leicester, Whiting and Sudbury.

The BATP works closely with other groups in the area as well as the school system to meet the needs of children in addition to putting on low cost and free events throughout the year. The Brandon Carnival is a collaborative effort between Brandon Rec and the BATP, as well as the summertime Rock Fest and Spooksville at Halloween.

In addition to events and entertainment, the BATP provides school supplies and backpacks directly to Neshobe, Leicester and the Otter Creek Academy in Sudbury. Once winter comes around, the BATP works again with the schools to distribute winter coats, hats and mittens to kids who need them.

This year, the BATP has grown to include the organizational tasks of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for children between birth and 5 years of age, in order to get books in the hands of kids as early as possible. These books are mailed directly to the children so that they get to experience the excitement of receiving mail in addition to the wonders of a new book!

All of this takes place in addition to the mission of getting kids toys.

Ok, I know, I may be the cutest dog on the planet. hear people say it all the time: “Oh, isn’t she so cute?” After all this time, I think it may be true. And I have an adorable best friend named Thor. He and I would like to go to our forever home together so if one dog is great then two dogs is better, right? I love going for walks and hanging out with my favorite people. I like getting brushed and getting lots of love and attention. I don’t play with toys very much but maybe once I settle into my new home I might.

Hello there I am Jedi. I arrived at RCHS in September. I was a stray cat from Rutland.

Therefore, not much is known about my past however, I am looking forward to my future in my forever home. I can always be found in a comfy spot around the house. However, I would love that to be in your house. I am such a good girl that I can’t imagine I will be spending much time here so I hope you come really soon.

Look at my big smile. I’m a happy guy and I’ll put a smile on your face, too. I’m super silly and lots of fun to be around. And do you know who likes to be around me the most? My best friend Lulu? We’re such good friends that we need to be adopted together. What could be better than 2 dogs adopted at the same time?

I’m a little more playful than Lulu is so I hope you stock up on some toys for me. I’m social and I like to be where the action is. ■ Amelia Stamp, Events & Community, Outreach Coordinator, Rutland County Humane Society www.rchsvt.org | 802-483-9171 ext. 208

Beginning in September, custodial parents of children can register to have their kids included in our Christmas program. There are no financial limits or paperwork; the only requirement is that the child lives in the BATP service area or attends one of the schools involved with the project, is between the ages of birth and 6th grade (12 years old) and is in the custody of the person making the request.

Once processed, the number assigned to the child goes on a tree at Brandon House of Pizza in Brandon, and good hearted people take an Angel or two and buy gift s for the child. Fostering Wellness of Brandon holds a huge toy drive each year and other businesses put up toy donation boxes to collect toys.

Parents meet at the Brandon Legion at specific times to choose and wrap up toys for their children. They return the next day for a huge Christmas party, complete with snacks,

crafts and Santa! While the kids are having fun, parents sneak out big bags of gift s for their kids. They also go home with a big tote of food from Christa’s Totes.

Christa’s Totes, a sister project of the Toy Project, provides each family with a tote full of healthy snacks for the long school vacation. Christa’s Totes is the brainchild of Beth Quenneville and Christa Quenneville. Christa worked in the school system as a counselor and was dedicated to helping kids and getting them fed nutritious food. Beth was her sister in law, and best friend. When Christa died of cancer, Christa’s Totes was formed as a dedication to her life mission. Through the years, over 1,000 totes of food have been given to families.

Angels will go on the tree at Brandon House of Pizza during the first week of November, and are due back on Dec 18. None of this would be possible without dedicated sponsors, supportive people and Santa. ■

Study to look at Little Otter Creek watershed

Vermont joins multistate emissions lawsuit Opponets say California rules will increase Vermont auto, truck costs

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Vermont’s Democratic Attorney General TJ Donovan’s recent move to file a lawsuit challenging a major component of the federal government’s plan to roll back greenhouse gas emission and fuel economy, has prompted a rebuke from some Vermonters.

The push back to Donovan comes from two, influential state conservative and libertarian leaders who head up coalitions which include carbon-tax opponents and Second Amendment activists.

As a result of Donovan’s action, Vermont is joining 22 other states, the District of Columbia, plus New York City and Los Angeles, against the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

D onov a n , a long w it h ot he r Democratic attorneys general and environmental climate-change activists, claim that California’s greenhouse gas emission standards will dramatically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles and trucks.

Individuals named in the lawsuit

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

include Elaine Chao, secretary of the Department of Transportation, and James Owen, acting administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

According to Donovan, quoted in a Sept. 20 news release, “The climate crisis is affecting Vermonters right now.

Vermont’s ability to limit how greenhouse gases enter our environment, like we do with our vehicle emission standards, is a vital tool in the fight against climate change. Vermont has always been a national leader in clean air. We remain committed to fight for our environment and for clean air by opposing this action by the federal government.”

The citizens’ group 802VT Alliance, headed by founder John de Bruin of Danby, is opposed to the lawsuit.

The Alliance wants to restore constitutional control at all levels of government as well as support candidates meeting its non-partisan, “smaller government” principles.

“The adoption of California-style auto rules would make cars not affordable for most Vermonters who depend on private transportation for everything,” de Bruin told TNR. “Since there is no mass transit (and almost impossible to achieve in this state), Vermonters would be forced to give up their lifestyles and/or jobs.

The implementation of California-style emission laws would be a financial disaster for a state with the cleanest air quality. My opinion is that this action) is just another part of the ‘climate change’ hoax being pushed by the left.” ■ — This is part 1 of a series.

FERRISBURGH | A new study will examine the impact of runoff along the watershed of the Little Otter Creek and Dead Creek in the Ferrisburgh area. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is launching the multiyear effort to learn how voluntary conservation practices on water quality is working.

According to the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC), Little Otter Creek is a lowland river in the Champlain Basin with three major branches.

Little Otter Creek drains 73 square miles and is approximately 25 miles in length.

The creek begins in Bristol and flows through New Haven, Monkton, and Ferrisburgh before entering Lake Champlain.

According to the USDA, the study will include the U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations placed in the Dead Creek watershed and Little Otter headwaters.

“The study will provide insight into the potential for innovative conservation practices and planning tools to be used together to reduce agricultural sources of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment in streams,” according to the USDA. Little Otter Creek is listed as having high E. coli bacteria counts that span nine miles to its mouth. That state has listed the creek because of its “impaired” aquatic life support from mile 16.4 to mile 15.4 as a result of agricultural runoff.

“Aquatic life support,” according to

Addison County River Watch Coordinator Matt Witten, “Refers to the critters, like tiny crustaceans, worms and insect larvae, that support the entire food chain that exists in a healthy stream.”

U.S. Sen. Leahy, USDA Under Secretary Bill Northey, and Chief of USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Matthew Lohr, with U.S. Rep. Peter Welch and UVM President Suresh Garimella announced last week at the Echo Center in Burlington two major long-term projects centered on Vermont agriculture and water quality.

Nearly $2 million in grants to study the Little Otter Creek, as well as elsewhere, will assist farmers in improving conservation practices.

“This study will help agricultural producers in Vermont learn more about the measurable outcomes of their conservation efforts, which impact not only the resources on their own operations, but also the streams and watersheds in their communities,” according to a USDA news release last week.

According to ACRPC, the Little Otter Creek Wildlife Management Area is a state-owned parcel of almost 1,500 acres near the mouth of the creek in Ferrisburgh where the Little Otter’s water level is naturally regulated by Lake Champlain, creating a rich diversity of aquatic plants.

The Total Maximum Daily Load in the Lake Champlain Basin caps the maximum amount of phosphorus allowed to enter the lake and still meet Vermont’s water quality standards. A 2007 study conducted for the Lake Champlain Basin Program estimated that about 38 percent of phosphorus load is from agricultural land. ■

Bridport man lodged in CCCF

ADDISON | On Oct. 2, the Vermont State Police initiated a motor vehicle stop on Route 22A in Addison on a vehicle displaying an expired inspection sticker. Investigation revealed the operator of the vehicle was Darrell Gevry, 53, of Bridport.

A DMV check of Gevry’s operator license indicated his privilege to drive was criminally suspended in Vermont and that an active warrant existed for his arrest. In addition, Gevry provided false identification to troopers with the purpose of implicating another and to deflect the investigation.

Gevry was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks for processing.

Gevry was later transported to the Chittenden County Correctional Facility, where he was lodged on the warrant.

Gevry was also issued a citation to appear at the Addison County Courthouse on Dec. 30, at 12:30 p.m., to answer to the charges of Driving with a Criminally Suspended License and providing False Information to a Police Officer. ■

Weybridge man arrested for assaulting police SALISBURY | On Oct. 17, at approximately 6:30 p.m., troopers with the Vermont State Police were dispatched to an address on Creek Road in the town of Salisbury for a

motor vehicle complaint.

A nearby resident on Creek Road advised troopers that a vehicle had driven onto his property, gotten stuck and the driver then began to yell.

Police located three subjects involved int he incident.

One of the individuals police located was Mark Kennedy, 32, a resident of Weybridge.

During the investigation, Kennedy began acting in a belligerent manner by yelling obscenities.

Kennedy became uncooperative and was placed under arrest for impeding public officers and disorderly conduct.

While officers were taking Kennedy into custody, he assaulted two troopers, one of them twice.

Kennedy was transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks for processing.

The Vermont State Police were also assisted on scene by the Middlebury Police Department.

Kennedy was subsequently lodged at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Center. ■

Head-on collision in Bridport BRIDPORT | On Oct. 27, at approximately 6:05 p.m., Vermont State Police troopers were dispatched to a report of a two-car motor vehicle crash involving a head-on collision.

Briefs Parking ban starts Nov. 1 MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury Police Department reminds drivers that the town’s winter parking ban begins this Friday, Nov. 1 and extends through April 1. The ban prohibits parking between midnight and 6 a.m. on town streets and in municipal parking lots. Vehicles parked in violation of the ban are subject to ticketing, towing, and impounding at the owner’s expense.

There are designated overnight parking areas in the lower municipal lot off of Bakery Lane and the Frog Hollow Lot on Mill Street, that are excluded from the parking ban. Signs are posted to designate the excluded areas.

Signs alerting drivers to the Winter Parking Ban are clearly posted on all major entry routes to the town. ■

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?’... But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, ‘He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.’”

A hearing was held Oct. 24 in the U.S. District Court in Georgia where the court heard testimony relevant to the NARSOL injunction request.

NARSOL joined in civil suits against sheriffs of both counties and fi led requests for injunctions against the placement of the signs for 2019.

Spalding County conceded it would not require the signs this year, but Sheriff Gary Long of Butts County announced his intent to continue.

So, what did Jesus have to say about this issue?

Well, he didn’t address the crime of pederasty per se, but the moral of the immortal story from John’s gospel is certainly applicable today: “And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had

Merchants Row closed for blasting Three-day blasting project

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Jim Gish, community liaison for the Downtown Middlebury Rail & Bridge Project, reported that Kubricky Construction planned to close Merchants Row to traffic Oct. 23-25, so that Maine Drilling & Blasting can complete work on minipiles in the area around the Merchants Row Bridge.

“The Battell driveway will be closed during this threeday period and residents will be asked to use the temporary access road to enter and exit the Battell parking lot,” Gish reported in a town email announcement last week. “Parking on Merchants Row in front of the Battell Block will remain open throughout the week.”

The Vermont Agency of Transportation, in collaboration with the town, is undertaking a project to replace two, nearly century-old railroad bridges in the center of town with a tunnel.

The two bridges are about 300 feet apart, with one located on Main Street-Route 30 and the other on Merchants Row. Kubricky, ECI, and Maine Drilling & Blasting, the team

MIDDLEBURY | At its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 29, the Middlebury Selectboard will discuss potential uses of the Local Option Tax/ Cross Street Bridge Fund Surplus.

An analysis of Middlebury College’s annual contribution and Local Option Tax revenue, which are dedicated and reserved for the debt service and maintenance requirements of the Cross Street Bridge, has shown that funds are projected to exceed expenses by between $450,000 to $500,000 per year.

Coupled with a current Cross Street Bridge Reserve Fund surplus of $2.5 million, led the board to ask voters at Town Meeting 2019 to use $400,000 of the Local Option Tax Revenue surplus to offset capital improvement spending.

The voters approved the request.

With planning underway for the FY21 budget (July 1, 2020-June 30, 2021), the board is seeking public input.

Voter input will focus on the concept of continuing to use $400,000 of the option tax surplus, or more, per year, to offset capital improvement spending and, potentially, tapping the existing Cross Street Bridge Reserve Fund surplus for essential, priority water system water main replacements.

Additional information is available on the town’s website. ■

Students “Walk & Roll” to school International health, safety event observed in Addison County

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

Middlebury’s Mary Hogan School officials asked students how they arrived at school on Oct 2.

Photo provided

MIDDLEBURY | Several Addison County schools observed International Walk and Roll to School Day on Oct 2. Parents and teachers locally joined children all over the world as part of the worldwide effort to get young people moving.

Middlebury’s Mary Hogan School officials asked students how they arrived at school on Oct 2: by bus (school or ACTR), by using a bike or scooter, by walking from at least the far parking lot, not right in front of the school, or by car, dropped off in front of school.

Locally, the main goal of the Walk & Roll Day, now in its 23rd year, was to motivate local elected officials. Selectboard members

in Middlebury were invited to walk or bike as part of the event. School planners also wanted to engage local transportation officials. Most importantly, however, was empowering students to take the lead in identifying safety issues that are important to them.

Middlebury Selectboard member Laura Asermily has been a community leader in bringing awareness to bicycle for young and old alike around the area.

In Vermont, Vision Zero, a road safety effort being adopted by a growing number of communities, aims to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries. I “Walk to School Day inspires schools and entire communities to celebrate safety, health and active transportation,” said Nancy Pullen-Seufert of the National Center for Safe Routes to School, the coordinating agency for the event. “Participation increases every year, which is quite an impressive legacy of people coming together with the common goal of starting children on the right foot so they can thrive for years to come.” ■

Vermont is leader in energy efficiency No. 5 in the nation

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | In case you haven’t noticed, it’s National Energy Awareness Month and with the U.S. Department of Energy estimating families could save up to 25% on utilities with energy efficient measures, the personal-finance website WalletHub last week released its report on 2019’s Most & Least EnergyEfficient States as well as accompanying videos.

Vermont is ranked near the top at fifth place in the report.

To gauge the financial impact of doing more with less energy — the average American household spends at least $2,000 per year on utilities and another $2,109 on motor fuel and oil — WalletHub compared the autoand home-energy efficiency in 48 U.S. states.

Due to data limitations, Alaska and Hawaii were excluded from WalletHub’s analysis.

Energy Efficiency in Vermont (1=Most EnergyEfficient; 24=Avg.) Fourth – Home Energy Efficiency Third – Vehicle-Fuel Efficiency Thirty sixth – Transportation Efficiency According to Dr. Jordan D. Clark, assistant professor in sustainable building engineering at Ohio State University, “buildings are responsible for 40% of all energy consumption in the United States, and in order to bring this number down to levels needed, homeowners and building owners would have to voluntarily take measures that often have a 10-20-year payback period.

“While this may be within the means of some commercial building owners, it often is not for the homeowner. Government incentives can change the calculus a bit, and building codes are often a good vehicle for enacting large scale changes, but we should be sure to not act too quickly and exacerbate a home affordability crisis that already exists in many American cities,” he said.

For the full report, see wallethub.com/edu/mostand-least-energy-efficient-states/7354/. ■

Vermont House Transportation Chairman Curt McCormack (D) plans to bike, walk or ride public transportation to visit the homes of every member of his committee before the Vermont Legislature reconvenes in January. This unprecedented mode of transportation for a committee chair to visit his members is partly practical, but mostly to make a point to the legislators whose votes he will need to continue his aggressive renewable-power transportation agenda.

TIPS FOR HUNTERS

BEING A GOOD LAND USER Landowners who permit you to hunt on their land are doing you a favor and placing their trust in you. Here are some recommendations to prove their trust was not misplaced, help with your relationship with the landowner, and portray a positive image of hunting.

•

• •

•

• •

• • •

Respect the landowner’s property--hunting, fishing, trapping, or otherwise using it only when and where the landowner approves.

Understand clearly where you can and cannot drive or park your vehicle and abide by those restrictions.

Leave your name, address, phone number and also make, model, and license number of your vehicle with the landowner or use the Courtesy Permission Cards.

If you have permission to return, find out if there are certain times or places that you should avoid. Always attempt to let the landowner know where you will be and when.

Know the property boundaries and do not trespass on adjacent property.

Try to keep the size of your hunting party small and always let the landowner know exactly who else will be hunting with you.

Don’t walk through unharvested crops or hunt near livestock or buildings.

Leave gates as you find them. Cross fences in a manner that will not break or loosen wires or posts.

Don’t litter. Carry away litter left by others.

Middlebury is grid-iron juggernaut Panthers are NESCAC’s only unbeaten team From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury took over sole possession of first place in the NESCAC standings after a convincing 45-21 win over Wesleyan (5-1) on Youngman Field at Alumni Stadium last week.

The Panthers remain the league’s only unbeaten team, and will return to action at Bowdoin next weekend. The Cardinals will visit Amherst on Saturday. Middlebury moves to 6-0 for the first time since 1977 after outgaining Wesleyan 529-350 on the day.

Middlebury led 3-0 on a 20-yard field goal from Carter Massengill, before Wesleyan went up 7-3 when Matthew Simco made a nice grab over the middle for a 34-yard touchdown reception from Ashton Scott early in the second quarter.

The Panthers answered, marching 75 yards on seven plays to go up 10-7 on a two-yard rush from Alex Maldjian. Quarterback Will Jernigan gained a first down on a 21-yard run, while connecting with Aidan Power for 29 yards on the drive.

The lead grew to 17-7 at the 5:11 mark of the second quarter when Jernigan found Greg Livingston wide open in the right corner of the end zone for a 23-yard scoring play. Livingston finished the drive with four catches for 68 yards of the 79 gained.

After the Middlebury defense forced a three-and-out, Jernigan connected with Maxwell Rye down the left sideline

Middlebury’s Maxwell Rye set a career high with 148 yards receiving on six catches with a pair of touchdowns.

Middlebury College photo

for an 80-yard touchdown strike on the first play of the drive, giving the Panthers a 24-7 advantage at the half.

The Cardinals scored a late touchdown on a 53-yard pass from Scott to Deland Clarke, making it a 45-21 final.

Jernigan completed 18 of 25 passes for 359 yards with four touchdowns on the afternoon. He also gained 36 yards on the ground. Maldjian rushed for 96 yards and a pair of scores on 24 carries. Rye set a career high with 148 yards receiving on six catches with a pair of touchdowns, as did Livingston, who gained 98 yards on five receptions with a touchdown.

Jack Pistorius paced the Panther defense with 10 tackles and two sacks, while Nick Leone had three stops for lost yardage.

Scott went 15-31 for 261 yards for the Cardinals, throwing three touchdown passes with one interception. David Estevez was 1-5 for nine yards, but gained 89 yards on the ground on 11 carries. Simco led the receivers with three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown. Will Kearney led all tacklers with 18 in the game, while Taj Gooden made 11 stops.

Wesleyan had not given up more than 13 points in a game this season. The Cardinals were allowing just 292 yards/game through five contests, before the Panthers racked up 529 yards on Saturday, including 170 on the ground. Jernigan’s four touchdown passes were three more than the Cardinal defense had allowed all season. ■

Vermont has history of resident, non-citizen voting

By Ron Hayduk

native-born freemen after they fulfilled a residency requirement of one year and took an oath of allegiance. After Vermont

GUEST WRITER

MIDDLEBURY | The Vermont Constitution of 1777, in which Vermont declared itself an independent state, reflected its drafters’ desire to make suffrage broadly inclusive.

Although Vermont’s founders modeled their constitution on Pennsylvania’s Constitution, they deleted the property qualification for voters that appeared in the Pennsylvania Constitution and the laws of many of the 13 colonies.

The drafters also prohibited slavery in the first article of the constitution, making Vermont the first government in America to do so, and, although suffrage rights were defined by gender, the constitution did not explicitly require electors to be white.

Finally, the Vermont Constitution included provisions for alien suffrage.

The Republic of Vermont’s Constitution of 1777 gave foreign men all the rights of

decades, however, legislators worried that the language of Vermont’s Constitution, by granting aliens all rights of native-born

powers of the new United States Congress.

In 1828, Vermont amended its Constitution to address this concern, adopting new language tying citizenship to voting, while allowing existing alien voters to retain their suffrage rights. Today, the Vermont Constitution retains the language of U.S. citizenship in its voting provisions, reading: “Every person of the full age of 18 years who is a citizen of the United States, having resided in this State for the period established by the General Assembly and who is of a quiet and peaceable behavior, and will take the following oath or affirmation, shall be entitled to all the privileges of a voter of this state.”

Although statewide voting rights were linked to U.S. citizenship after 1828, noncitizens continued to participate as voters and government officials at the local level.

In the case of Woodcock v. Bolster, decided in 1863, the Vermont Supreme Court considered whether voting by aliens in school and town elections conflicted with the constitution.

— This is part 1 of a series.
