Fire! The world is coming to an end. Compass does it again.

There is a proposed public process in this rule making to address the concerns raised by all citizens and groups. In your view the State of Vermont can do no good. The article contains a lot of sniping to alarm your readership.

David — Thanks for reading and for the pushback.

The piece does acknowledge the public process in the rule, including the scoping requirements, the responsiveness summary, the four hearings, and the comment period — those are all in the "How to engage" section, and I encourage every reader to participate.

What the piece documents is a gap between what ANR's public-facing communications describe and what's in the operative rule text. Readers can decide for themselves whether that gap matters.

I appreciate the comment.

Everyone wants a piece the the "Green Mountains" in my view. It's all about "Control" and of course, Money. If Vermonters don't start voting for the right people, Vermont will become like a "Gated Community". The only way in, will be to pay....

.........."we also need to know what motivates the people who lead the charge.".......Couldn't agree more Mr.Martin. You said it yourself, "primary purpose is to make money.".... Isn't that the problem all around??? When people focus on Money only, that's where the problem's begin.... And on a side note, way to many non-profit's in Vermont. That's definitely part of the problem.....
