We've had a problem with him a number of times before - taking pictures of women, specifically, on the sneaky side of things - without asking their permission/' she says. "A number of customers have come in and said, 'There's a guy out there taking pictures and it's really creeping us out.' Lieutenant Jen Morrison with the Burlington Police Department says she's not at liberty to discuss the details of [Dan Scott]'s trespass order, or even confirm that he was issued one. Oddly, it's not because there's a criminal investigation pending; Scott hasn't been charged with a crime. Rather, she explains, it's because the police don't decide whether to issue trespass orders; they simply issue them at the behest of businesses and property owners. "There are lots of people on Church Street doing...
VINALHAVEN A local teen was critically injured Friday night in a traffic accident in Burlington, Vt. Joseph Reidy, 18, a student at Champlain College, was struck by a car in a downtown intersection, according to a report from the Burlington Police Department. He was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care at the University of Vermont, where he was listed in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
The neighbors complained to Burlington's Design Advisory Board that putting such a large building on the Kaminskys' .71-acre waterfront lot would dramatically change the character of their neighborhood. After two meetings concerning the project, the DAB agreed with them and denied the application - but not before the fight got ugly. At the DAB meeting, neighbors repeatedly derided the Kaminskys' proposed house as "ostentatious" and "offensive." The week before, the Kaminskys had even called the Burlington Police Department to keep one irate man from setting foot on their property. They were unreceptive, [Bill Stuono] claims. "They said things like, 'We think everybody should tear down their houses to match ours,'" Stuono charges, "and 'If you had the money to tear down your house and bu...
LAST SUMMER, I found myself despairing. True, Hurricane Katrina had blown down the door and Al Gore had walked through it with An Inconvenient Truth. More people now knew about climate change than ever before. But it wasn't changing the politics of the issue. In Washington, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the chair of the Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate Change and Nuclear Safety, said global warming was a "giant hoax." In a July 2006 interview with the Tulsa World, he compared environmentalists with Nazis and their use of "the Big Lie." "You say something over and over and over and over again, and people will believe it, and that's [the environmentalists'] strategy," he said. "Everything on which they based their story, in terms of the facts, has been refuted scientifically. In my desp...

Two recent incidents point to larger trends of discrimination, the men claim. On March 21, Stanislav Hvorikov of the Chittenden County Sheriff's Dept. stopped Siriwayo and a friend because Siriwayo's 1998 Ford Contour had an air freshener affixed to its rear-view mirror. Siriwayo was driving without insurance, so Hvorikov's subsequent decision to tow his car was legally justified. But according to Siriwayo, Hvorikov spoke to him with undue aggression. "He was ordering me to do things because he had power over me," Siriwayo insisted. "And it pissed me off. Informed of Mutwale and Siriwayo's allegations, BPD Deputy Chief Michael Schirling expressed concern. In an interview at police headquarters, where he was joined by Police Chief Thomas Tremblay, Schirling emphasized that the departmen...

The 24-member task force, composed of community members from the city's seven wards, noted that property taxes have gone up 50 percent in the last seven years, resulting in "significant taxpayer fatigue and resistance to further tax increases." The report concludes, "The only way to moderate growth in General Fund expenditures is to reduce personnel." Such a reduction, the report adds, would represent a reversal of a 10-year trend of increasing the number of employees on the city's payroll. The report includes a number of recommendations that have been under discussion for many years, and in some cases, decades. They include studying the feasibility of regionalizing dispatch services for police, fire and EMS throughout Chittenden County. "This has been a 20-year discussion that's never ...
