Lawmakers debate Salmon tax plan in Brattleboro
In Brattleboro legislators and Southeastern Vermont Realtors discussed Gov. Salmon’s capital gains and property tax relief plan. Rep. Hamilton blasted the bill, arguing it prices Vermonters out of the state while others noted the plan’s funds and effectiveness.

Dorset piggery dispute prompts zoning board ruling
After three hearings the Dorset Zoning Board of Adjustment voided Everett Day’s accessory farm building permit in the Commercial Industrial district. The Erdmans and Erdman’s Eyrie, Inc. appealed. The pig shelter’s legality hinges on whether pig farming fits Dorset’s farming uses and whether the site required a plan, per legal counsel Partridge.
