Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
I recently turned down a deal with the devil. Two lobbyists with Altria, a big tobacco company, reached out to me because of my work with Vermont’s recovery and harm reduction community. They tried to convince me that flavored tobacco products serve as a “coping mechanism”...
To the Editor,
Wilmington residents will be well served to understand and weigh in on proposed zoning amendments to allow short-term rentals in the residential district.  The residential district has historically been limited to “low-impact” non-commercial uses so as to preserve space for...
