We are not the only state with a fiscal crisis...

... as Vermont State Rep. Michael Obuchowski would attest. At the end of a discussion on Windham's finances, he recommended that Vermont consider secession from the Union, according to the Brattleboro Reformer.

Thanks to Vermont Commons for bringing this to my attention.

A lot of states are having trouble, but Ohio might be in a seperate division of trouble than most others.

I agree. To use a basketball analogy, Vermont may be in the "sweet sixteen", but we're in the "final four".

Right on...maybe even in the title game squaring off against Michigan.

Thank you for the tip. It is available, for a fee, from the Brattleboro Reformer archive. The ending of the article was an statement by Rep. Obuchowski that Vermont should consider secession from the Union.

I have changed the link to point to these comments.
