Dollar stores popped up a few years ago based on the premise that everything would be the same price, and that price would be One Dollar ($1.00).
Three such stores popped up in Brattleboro:
Family Dollar on Putney Rd,
Dollar General on Marlboro Rd,
Dollar Tree on Canal St
When I asked him about his goals back on Jan 20, Town Manager Yoshi Manale spoke of creating more open spaces downtown, being open and transparent, and being flexible while solving problems. No mention of wanting to alter EMS services. Yet the impression one might get from official communications is that a new town manager came to town, took aim at EMS, and is walking away.
But that’s not the full story. First off, the Brattleboro Selectboard told him to take on Rescue.
Both the current and former Chair of the Brattleboro Selectboard have confirmed that Town Manager Manale was not acting solo when it came to Rescue Inc actions and decisions.
A. Call to Order (5:15)
B. Approve Minutes of April 26 (5:15 – 5:20)
C. New Business (5:20 – 5:35)
1. Discussion: Memo to Selectboard on Energy Projects Tax Stabilization Program (5:20 – 5:35)
The Brattleboro Selectboard will emerge from another Executive Session to do something that isn’t done very often – update the boundaries of the voting districts in town, which will change representation at Representative Town meeting. This update is to conform with adjustments recently made by the state.
The board will also take up the Utility Fund, Parking Fund Budget, raises, and the Depot Street parking lot project. You can bring up other items not on the agenda during public participation.
It is sometimes helpful to look at information in a timeline format. Thanks to everyone who assisted in piecing this together this list of Brattleboro Fire, Rescue, and EMS items from the past year or so.**
Please note any additions or corrections you feel would clarify in the comments if you’d like. This is an in-progress project and will likely be updated. I’ll note any edits to the main timeline list in the comments.

Today I plan to go to the Co-op cafe, having just turned 77, and splurge on a slice of chocolate layer cake.
It is also the day that you get to see the new issue of blog88.org. It is the first issue since December. I felt dismayed to have gotten caught up in the winter doldrums, until I realized how foolish it is to make blogging into deadline pressure. Did it make sense to replace the work responsibilities that I have left behind with new obligations and stress?
