Posted in Other by: Jon Maor on: 01/17/2010 06:21 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

What I represent is a pillar of the Vermont economy – tourism. I pay taxes for schools I don't use, my recreational interests put Vermont residents to work, I infuse my community with money I spend on meals and clothing – just to name a few. I employ local people to work on and maintain my house. Imagine a Vermont without people like me. Conversely, imagine a Vermont with more people like me.
