“I support what’s going on, but I look back on Vermont and say Vermont supports progressive ideas,” he said.

So this is a "Gay!" town?

Another resident, retired after a career in political lobbying in New York, urged residents not to be complacent after the vote but to be ready to fight for what they believe.

While I might be inclined to support the efforts of these people in trying to secede from Vermont, I must say that people like this make me wonder about what the real source of the problem is. I yearn for the days when a career in "political lobbying" was considered about as respectable as a career in arson.

What you have here is a classic case where someone who spent his life earning a substantial amount of money in politics fled to a neighboring state to retire -- probably to avoid the high taxes in his home state (that are due, in large part, to people like him). And now it hurts to be on the receiving end of the process.

Problem is.....it's 20+ miles from Killington to the NH border.

If Dean were still Governor he'd charge an exit/entrance fee.

[pabianice]

It's an old story. Liberals -- fed up with crime and taxes in MA and NY -- move to VT and immediately demand the same services (and taxes) they had before they moved.

I propose a Constitutional amendment that requires a person to wait five years before they can move.

If Jeffords can jump, then Killington ought to be able to jump!

He also wondered whether New Hampshire has been able to reduce spousal abuse, as Vermont has done in recent years,

If all the addresses now have a 'NH' instead of a 'VT', wife-beating will go up? Is that what he's implying? What a dufus!

Looks like Vermont is going to send troops, suspend habeas corpus, take the possessions of the people that live there so they can keep them in Vermont. It worked before for the Yankees before, why change?

[wbill]

I like the idea - but - what the article doesn't mention is that NH does not have a state tax. Methinks that the people are more motivated by the almighty dollar, than by any other reason.

I also laughed out loud when they called Vermont a 'progressive state'. Sort of like calling Bill Clinton 'ethically challenged'.

During a break, Mike Lorrey of Grantham, N.H., a member of the Libertarians’ Free State Project, presented a New Hampshire flag to Lewis, followed by a Gadsden flag, with its yellow background, picture of a snake and motto, “Don’t Tread on Me.”

Awesome !!!
Bring 'em home.

Next thing you know, parts of Maine will want to join us.
