Last night we learned that stores in Vermont had been instructed to prohibit the sale of vegetable seeds because of the pandemic. Part of that report included my failed effort to find the provenance. A reader just sent it to me. And it’s not just vegetable seeds.

Did Vermont Take a Huge Step to the Left – Vegetable Seed Purchases Prohibited ‘Cuz COVID-19?
Vermont is not letting this crisis go to waste. It appears to have ordered stores to prohibit the purchases of an item it deems non-essential. Vegetable seeds. You read that right. No starting a home garden by order of the State!
Shaheen’s 1.25 Billion in Coronavirus Money for NH Comes Up Short Compared to Vermont
Another trashbin bailout bill is making its way through congress. Democrats made fools of themselves blocking an earlier version to stuff it with unrelated left-wing garbage. But now that this sh*t show is on the road to the House Sen. Shaheen is claiming victory. Not so fast.
Say Thank You! The Vermont General Assembly Just Improved the New Hampshire Advantage
By one vote the Vermont House overrode Gov. Phil Scott’s veto of a bill to arbitrarily increase the state’s minimum wage. Legislators, it seems, know better than job creators what any starting hour of labor is worth across every profession. That’s fine. They just did New Hampshire a huge favor.
Medicaid Experiment Continues to Blow Holes in State Budget
Vermont is very progressive. Bernie is after all their US Senator (can anyone name the other one?) The state fully embraced Obamacare, the exchanges, Medicaid Expansion, and developed its own oversight provider network. And it loses gobs of money every year.
Vermont Republicans Should Not Be Surprised – Gov Phil Scott Endorsed Bill Weld for President
If you had not noticed, I have recently taken an interest in the trials and tribulations of my Republican brothers and sisters trapped in Vermont. GraniteGrok has a bit of reach, and I’d like to use that to help them get their voice out. To that end, Gov. Phil Scott has endorsed Bill Weld. Yuck!
Vermont Monitoring Nine for Possible Coronavirus Infections
As the Chinese look for ways to subtly bring the official reporting in line with reality, the world continues to monitor anything that might appear to be the novel Coronavirus. There are 15 confirmed cases in the US with 81 pending, with 9 of those pending cases from Vermont.
NH Dems Look Left (Toward Vermont) For Ways to Waste Your Money
If you are looking for ways to waste money the Left’s elected Climate Cultists are leading the charge. Legislating solutions to problems they have manufactured. Issues that, if real, would be better handled by an encouraged free-market than bureaucratic force. Just look to our left for Proof.
Democrats in Vermont are Just as Stupid as Dems In NH When It comes to Minumum Wage
While I appreciate the efforts of Vermont Democrats to drive more job creators and commerce into New Hampshire, I must take issue with blatant economic stupidity when I see it. Pseudo-Republican Gov. Scott has vetoed their minimum wage bill. The Democrat’s response is, well, stupid.
Ease Taxes Not Easy Tax Implementation
Governments should work to ease taxes, not toward easy tax implementation. Why? Because Americans do not just vote with their hands at the ballot box. We also vote with our feet and moving vans.
On Jan 1st, Our Neighboring States are Helping New Hampshire’s Advantage Grow
Politicians in states all around New England think they are economic geniuses. They know how much an hour of labor is worth for every job, everywhere? No! They don’t. But that hubris is New Hampshire’s gain as the New Year looms, and they force the cost of labor higher.
Is “Global Warming” Good for the Loons?
Vermont has more loons! And that’s bad and good. First, the political sort has taken over the Green Mountain State and leaned it hard left. Even the Republican Governor is a Democrat. Spending up, rights down. What’s the Good news? Loons (as in the waterfowl) are doing better.
VT “republican” Gov. Phil Scott Makes Sununu Look like Frikkin’ Reagan
Don’t get too excited by the title. I’m not saying Sununu is Reagan. I’m saying that Vermont’s ‘republican’ governor should be kicked out of the Republican party. And not just because he just bought in on impeaching the president.
Pro-Sanctuary Vermonter Calls Black Selectman a ‘Coon’ – No Outraged Media
A woman in the town of Hartford, Vermont wants sanctuary status for her plucky berg and if that means calling the Black select board member a coon then so be it. Media outrage?
VT Judge’s Ruling Has Bearing On New Hampshire’s Unconstitutional Buffer Zone Law
A judge in Vermont needs to call the Judges in New Hampshire. Last month, Vermont tried to get a lawsuit challenging the States high-capacity magazine ban thrown out. They claimed the plaintiffs had no standing. Superior Court Judge Mary Miles Teachout set that record straight.
Quick Shot: Killington Could Have Skiing Until June (again)
Got a call from someone (Skip) who shared a report from WBZ News (radio) out of Boston. They are rattling off ski resorts and those that are open. Killington could have skiing until June. June? Didn’t Jeanne Shaheen promise us that human impact on climate would impact snowfall and skiing?
Vermont Legislature Wants Taxpayer Funded “Free” College Education
It is the sign of a weak mind to immediately assume that a problem, real or imagined, is due to inadequate government funding. It is also the sign of a socialist or a Democrat. And since we’re talking about that state to the left of New Hampshire, this begins to make whatever passes for sense in the People’s Republic.
Quick Shot: Vermont Bill – Abortion Up To Birth is a Right?
Vermont is proposing new legislation that would protect the ‘right’ to perform an abortion up to birth. The right to abortion bill, which has 91 co-sponsors, goes beyond the scope of Roe v. Wade, which protects a fetus that can survive outside the mother’s womb. In Vermont, an abortion could be performed up until the point of … Read more
Vermonter: NH Doesn’t Deserve the First in The Nation Primary
Jeff Danziger, in an opinion piece for the Fall River Herald News, says as a Vermonter, he knows New Hampshire doesn’t deserve the first in the nation primary. I’ve had plenty to say about the distinction. I’m not sure we deserve it either. The way it warps the party politics and puts an emphasis on … Read more
