Somehow it all makes sense

Exhibit A – Vermont’s tough new waste disposal law requires all municipalities to make recycling containers available everywhere there’s a trash can. So, $30,000 later, here we are.

Exhibit B – a few years ago the town applied for a grant to redo the sidewalk on Main Street. Was that the most pressing infrastructure need then or now? No, but there’s sidewalk money somewhere, and so we’re getting ready to pour concrete.
