Green Mountain Meandering Missives

Am wondering about, now that certain Vermont hotels and motels had exited unhoused guests from their properties to free up rooms for higher paying guests who were visiting the state to view the total solar eclipse, how many hotels and motels might opt to no longer participate in the hotel/motel program in order to rent rooms to tourists and the like for the Spring as well as coming Summer and Autumn seasons instead? Likewise, how many hotels  and motels might take unhoused guests back in until the end of June? Posed rhetorically, however, these are among the top concerns and questions that have been keeping up at night of late. Photo: Vermont State House in Springtime (taken by Morgan W.

Regarding the plan by Governor Phil Scott's administration to host four huge regional, supposedly short-term, congregate homeless shelters across the state,  a question has arisen within my mind about it (rhetorically posed; and, please excuse my bluntness as well as outrage, however), ... Is anyone -- other than myself -- asking how much $$$ this, for the lack of a better or more appropriate term, * pure baloney * er, absurd plan will cost and where all the funds will come from ❓❗ If not, I sure wish someone would ask and try to get an honest answer from whomever can best provide it, sooner rather than later.
