I am getting confused here.

Vermont is trying to secede from the US.

Killington is trying to secede from Vermont.

Are any neighborhoods trying to secede from Killington?

Dogs from their masters?

Fleas from their dogs?

;-)

I'm in Rockford, Illinois, and I think those of us not in Chicago and its immediate suburbs would love to secede and join Iowa, Kentucky, Indiana or Missouri (sorry Wisconsin, your taxes are even worse and your land use rules are outrageous). Heck, can we join Idaho or Alabama?

About 20 years ago Block Island got pissed for some reason and tried to secede from Rhode Island. The Vermont legislature voted to receive them with open arms. Said they'd always wanted a seacoast.

The trouble in Killington, a ski town, is that the industry is sending far more in taxes to fund the state education system than it gets back. It isn't fair, is it, that a rich town should get to keep its tax revenue and spend it on its own schools...
