BRATTLEBORO-Sebastian Alvarez knows firsthand that not every student learns the same way.
Now the 16-year-old Brattleboro sophomore will get to make that case to the people who set education policy for the entire state.
BRATTLEBORO-While nobody actually likes to be audited, Vermont’s elected state auditor is charged with closely watching how the state spends its money. Last week, Deputy Auditor Tim Ashe came to town to explain exactly what the auditor does and why he wants the top job. The current state auditor, Doug Hoffer, won the job in 2013. Now he is retiring, and Ashe, who has been the deputy auditor for the last five years, wants to step up. Ashe, a Democrat,
Our story about the probable merger of the Great Falls Regional Chamber of Commerce with the Brattleboro Regional Chamber of Commerce [“‘A stronger vision, a stronger voice, and a larger region to serve,’” News, Sept. 16] was accompanied by a composite photo that fell short of the mark in multiple respects. Owing to an error in the caption of a photo that we published years ago, the head shot that we captioned as Gary Fox was not, in fact, Gary...
BRATTLEBORO-If federal immigration agents ever try to stage an operation from the Brattleboro Police Department’s parking lot, they’ll be asked to leave, Police Chief Jeremy Evans told a crowded public forum Monday night. “If they showed up at our facility, we would go out and find out who was there,” Evans said. “We’d say, ‘What are you doing?’ And they would say who they were, and we would ask them to leave. “Because we would; we’re not going to be...
BRATTLEBORO-State regulators will delay a decision on a proposed budget for the financially ailing Brattleboro Memorial Hospital after the southeastern Vermont healthcare hub filed its plan late and with last-minute changes — including a surprise reprieve for its set-to-close birthing center. At a Sept. 14 online hearing, Vermont’s Green Mountain Care Board adopted fiscal year 2027 budgets for other general acute-care hospitals in the state. But members level-funded Brattleboro until they could meet again later this fall. “What we’re asking...
BELLOWS FALLS-Facing financial and staffing issues, the Great Falls Regional Chamber of Commerce (GFRCC) is considering an offer to merge with the Brattleboro Regional Chamber of Commerce (BRCC). If the merger takes place, both chambers will keep their respective names, at least for the time being, said Gary Fox, one of a new slate of GFRCC board members named in March. This proposal will be the topic of a joint GFRCC and BRCC membership breakfast forum and discussion on Friday,
BRATTLEBORO-Sparks did not fly when the sitting lieutenant governor and a former lieutenant governor came to Brattleboro on Sept. 10 to debate each other for a job they both want: lieutenant governor. Current Lt. Gov. John Rodgers, 61, a Republican, and former Lt. Gov. Molly Gray, 42, a Democrat, met at American Legion Post 5 for a luncheon hosted by the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC) and the Brattleboro Regional Chamber of Commerce (BRCC) as part of the Windham Leadership...
DOVER-With the election season coming down to the home stretch, Vermonters are seeing an big increase in political advertising — not all of it from the candidates, and not all of it true. National organizations and big money have returned to Vermont politics, and one legislator is mounting a challenge. On Sept. 10, Rep. Laura Sibilia (I-Windham-Bennington) sent a letter to Vermont Attorney General Charity Clark asking for her office’s review, under Vermont’s campaign-finance and lobbying laws, of campaign communications...
MONTPELIER-Vermont’s secretary of state urged voters in this year’s midterm elections not to use the United States Postal Service to return their ballots to town clerks because of growing uncertainty over whether the ballots will be subject to delays, or whether people will appear on a new list of voters President Donald Trump has ordered the USPS to compile. “Don’t plan to return your ballot by mail,” Sarah Copeland Hanzas said in an interview last week with The Deerfield Valley...
