The assault on public employees.

"Conor Casey, representing the Vermont State Employees Association, said the union would have preferred to see an application for a new state hospital that provided all the services the current hospital offers."

Paper prepared for VSEA shows alarming increase in State expenditures in areas like temporary employees, UI, pension fund investors, etc. etc. 

Seems like it might be a good idea for new Administration/Legislature to take a hard look at these findings. 

Frightening story. VSEA is pleased this fellow was apprehended before potentially acting on his posted threat, which read, in part:  "If people don’t get their benifits and I find enough people, let’s just say, columbine was nothing.. Hunger, will make people do crazy things."

BGS, which is responsible for employee safety, is aware of the threat.

"I think there’s a significant impact … in terms of employee morale," [VSEA Director Jes Kraus] said. "For the first time in eight years, employees know they will have a seat at the table with this governor, an open door to their concerns and their issues and someone they can work with."
