Dr Pendyke Springfield, MA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Mar 23, 2012 Judged: 1 1 1 The money would be better spent on putting an electric fence and a mine field around Pownal so no more of the Pownalites can escape into Bennville. Maybe we could encourage tourist to come up to the fence and throw peanuts to the Pownalites.

Train Money Drain Rutland, VT	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Jun 25, 2012 Judged: 1 1 1 Seriously, one round trip intercity bus would cost the taxpayers 90% less, but the chamber of commerce types and politicos want the eye candy of a train. And, yes, too many Vermonters loath the color that they think will get off a bus. Sad.
