  Vermont is full of tree hugging Commies. They should enjoy the fact that a car is destroyed, saving “Mother Earth” from global warming, cooling, climate change, whatever these morons want to call it now. Rejoice is heard from Vermonters, and Al Gore sitting on his fat behind on his corporate jet.

    40 years ago it wasn’t so. The sky high taxes in Mass. caused an influx of the leftists commies from Mass. They are centered in lower eastern VT. They are the ones that have destroyed the once great state of VT. They being of the Tree Hugger variety. Not the home grown ones.

  That river is usually one you can walk across. It’ll get a little busy in the spring when the snow melts, but usually that’s about it.

  We have over 250 roads washed out throughout the state. Some are main roads, and most are back roads. The back roads will be repaired farily quickly as 52% of all roads in Vermont are not paved. They’re good old fashioned dirt roads, and they can be repaired real quick with some dump trucks and a grader.

  The sad part is the loss of some covered bridges. But what’s sadder is now the state in all its knowledge will want to come in and replace them with some 4 lane $20,000,000 steel and concrete monstrosity with “stimulus” money.

  The people of the towns are alrady gearing up for a fight. This happened once before when Howeird Dean was Governor. The town said NO to the big bridge and took up a collection to replace the destroyed covered bridge. It took a while but they raised enough to have a new covered bridge built.

    I hear your pain, and I sort of understand your feelings. The people of your community want to keep your quaint, rustic community frozen in time. But with the stimulus funds, the chances are that your community will be forced—by your representatives—into some form of modernization.
    Yesterday, I watched a 140-year-old covered bridge get pushed into a river. I cannot remember what state the video came from, but it saddened me to see a historical bridge get destroyed in that way and in only a few minutes.
    GOOD LUCK in negotiating with your representatives. I strongly believe you will need it!!!
