On June 8 in Springfield there will be a rally in support of raising taxes on rich people and giving the money to public schools and publicly-run buses and passenger trains. On average, even electric cars are worse for the environment than buses and trains, on a per-traveler basis. The rally will be outside city hall at 6 p.m. Details are at:

The owner of the 500 acre Marlboro College is likely going to prison. The college is in the town of Marlboro, Vermont, which borders Brattleboro. All but 60 of the acres are forest. Seth Andrew founded “Degrees of Freedom,” a company that bought Marlboro College last year. Details about the theft charges against Andrew are at:

On May 27, 2021 a spokesman for the Nature Conservancy told the Valley Post his group might try to buy the 440 acres of forestland.
