Selectboard Meeting Notes – Just Say No To Generosity
A seemingly tone-deaf Brattleboro Selectboard pushed forward on multiple options for a multimillion dollar swimming pool project, as well as a messaging campaign directed by Town staff with catchy slogans to discourage being generous. This came after many objections by meeting-goers.
Community Workshops on Nuclear Waste Management in the U.S.
Good Energy Collective, the organization I work for, would like to invite Brattleboro residents to a series of paid workshops we’re hosting for residents of the towns neighboring the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant site. The workshops are part of a two-year Department of Energy (DOE) project to define a consent-based siting process for spent nuclear fuel in the U.S.—a process that DOE hopes to use to site one or more interim facilities that will store all of the nation’s commercial spent nuclear fuel until a permanent storage solution becomes available.
We are looking for 50 interested community members to participate in the workshops, which will be held on:

Selectboard Meeting Notes – Big Sticks and Ass Kicking Approved As Motel Program Winds Up
A divided Brattleboro Selectboard voted in favor of expanding an ordinance of acceptable behavior that criminalizes aspects of life for those who may be unhoused. The decision came despite pleas to have professionals review the changes.
The board then added hundreds of thousands of dollars to this year’s budget to fund additional downtown policing. They estimate $200 a year increases for most taxpayers to cover this expense. It was cheered on by a pro-policing faction that wanted big sticks and ass kicking, and criticized by those who were watching all their work for alternative community safety options go down the drain.
Finally, the board praised Turning Point for exceptional work with addiction and recovery, on a budget less than the annual cost of the new police expansion.
Hinesburg Road Closure
On Monday, September 23, the Highway Division will be replacing a failed culvert on Hinesburg Road. The closure will be near the intersection of Hinesburg Road and Nichols Drive. Residents and Emergency Services will be able to access addresses up to 1250 Hinesburg Rd via Hinesburg Road. Addresses 1279 Hinesburg Road to the Guilford Town line will need to use the marked detour, via Goodenough Road. Please plan accordingly and avoid the area if possible.
