Legislative Report from Rep. Dennis Devereux for Ludlow, Mount Holly and Plymouth

Vital records might not sound like a very important issue with so many others confronting us, but just ask a person who has had their identity stolen. The Vital Records bill on which our committee has spent many hours receiving testimony is the result of a report researched and written by our Vermont Department of Health. Its report issued last September made recommendations for updating our antiquated statutes, and for changes to how we access birth and death certificates.

Margo Marrone’s Plymouth Report

Republished with permission from The Vermont Standard

3/6/11

It is Sunday afternoon as I sit down to write & I find that I have very little to say this week. Perhaps the fact that I am waiting for our grandchild to be born has something to do with my restlessness & inability to concentrate. I am trying to make sure everything is up-to-date – the wash caught up, some meals prepared ahead, & now I want to get this piece done, just in case Melissa goes into labor & I am not here to submit it tomorrow AM!

So, I will list some events that are coming up in the near future.

Scenic Route 100 Byway

Posted on 03/10/2011 by Plymouth Press Contributing Writer

With the pending adoption of our section of Route 100 as a Scenic Byway, I am hopeful that the road can be brought into the 21st century with cell phone coverage the length of the Byway. If we are hopeful of developing/improving business opportunities for our town and employment for our youth, cell coverage is essential in todays’ communication network. Surely cell operators would be willing to cooperate in this venture.

Posted on 03/01/2011 by The Plymouth Press

Plymouth voters considered several budget articles at Town Meeting last night and the nays won. The town budget was voted down on a 27-28 hand count. The main issue was the annual cost of insurance on the five town employees, listed at $125,000.

A second budget article requesting an additional $62,608 to extend the contract with the Windsor County Sheriff for four additional hours a day of police coverage was also defeated by town voters.
