WEST WINDSOR — Residents overwhelmingly voted to uphold the town’s short-term rental ordinance during Town Meeting.
Voters rejected a proposed repeal, with 15 in support and 99 against. There are 1,104 voters on the town’s checklist, according to Town Clerk Amy Yates, and 120 voters signed in at Town Meeting.
The ordinance — which will go into effect in May — requires short-term rental owners to apply for a town license each year in order to operate, pay fees ranging from $150 to $300 per bedroom, and show that they are following all state tax and fire safety codes, among other requirements.
After the Selectboard approved the ordinance last September, short-term rental owner Anne Yates submitted a petition signed by at least 5% of West Windsor voters seeking to repeal it. As part of the petition, Yates asked that the repeal vote take place at the March Town Meeting.

Trump administration looks to sell off 4 federal properties in Vermont
The U.S. General Services Administration published — and then retracted — a list of hundreds of federal buildings for potential sale, including the U.S. Post Office and Customs building in St. Albans.
by Habib Sabet
Four federal facilities in Vermont could be on the chopping block as the Trump administration seeks to sell off what it has deemed “non-core” government properties in an effort to cut costs.
The U.S. General Services Administration on Tuesday published a list of 320 federal facilities considered “not core to government operations” that the agency said it would look to shutter or sell, including the Winston Prouty Federal Building in Essex Junction, the U.S. Post Office and Customs building in St. Albans and the Social Security Administration offices on School St. in Montpelier.
A “shed” in Derby Line that was listed as used by the federal Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service was also included in the inventory.
By Wednesday afternoon, the list had been removed entirely from the agency’s website and replaced with a web page that said the list was now “coming soon.” The quick change raised further questions about whether the Trump administration would follow through on its plan to “dispose of” all the properties listed, as described on the web page.
“To be clear, just because an asset is on the list doesn’t mean it’s immediately for sale,” Paul Hughes, a spokesperson for the General Services Administration, said in a written statement to VTDigger.

One of the notably characters is the melancholy traveler Jacques, who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches ("All the world's a stage") and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623.
The play follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden.
In the Forest of Arden, a fantastical place of transformation, where all are welcomed and embraced. Lost amidst the trees, the refugees find community and acceptance under the stars.
The day of weddings was a colorful scene with some really beautiful costumes.

Trump delays tariffs again, sparking more uncertainty for Vermont officials and businesses
The volatility of Trump’s tariff policy has itself become an issue for businesses and officials trying to assess the impacts that a trade war could have on the state’s economy.
by Habib Sabet
As President Donald Trump’s administration continues to send mixed signals about tariffs, Vermont officials and business leaders have been left struggling to adjust for a trade policy that seems to change on an almost hourly basis.
On Thursday, just two days after sweeping tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico took effect, Trump announced that he would again be postponing many of those levies until April 2.
The delay specifically applies to goods that fall under the umbrella of the 2020 USMCA trade pact, which White House officials have said accounts for only about 38% of goods from Canada and half of goods from Mexico. The pause also applies to the 10% duty that Trump placed on Canadian energy products.
Granting a reprieve on goods ranging from petroleum to maple syrup, the delay could stave off much of the impact of a trade policy that experts have said could raise costs for consumers across the board in Vermont.
But the volatility of Trump’s decision-making has itself become an issue for business and officials trying to assess the impacts that a trade war could have on the state’s economy.

With $40M worth of restoration needed, Vermonters debate future of Bennington Battle Monument
While some uphold the historic and economic value of the monument, others consider innovative replacements. The state has affirmed its focus on restoration.
by Greta Solsaa
After decades of deferred maintenance, the 306-foot Bennington Battle Monument, with its stone sodden in approximately 66,000 gallons of water, is in desperate need of restoration work.
James Duggan, the state’s director of preservation for state historic sites, said the total cost of the restoration effort — including removing moisture and strengthening the walls and foundation — would amount to $40 million, or even more if action is not taken soon.
The monument is Vermont’s most-frequented historic site, attracting 40,000 visitors last year with over $275,000 accrued in state revenue, according to Duggan’s presentation to the House Committee on Corrections and Institutions on Feb. 4.
“Nothing is being done while we’re thinking about how to get some traction and moving forward,” Duggan said during the presentation. “That is going to continue to increase the amount of deterioration, as well as increase the costs and the amount of work that has to be finished later.”
Since the $40 million price tag for the restoration was revealed last month, debate has ensued over whether saving the monument is worth the cost.
