Whoever said journalism was a thankless job was clearly wrong 🙄

And for the record, I didn't learn about this because the Dems accidentally added me to their group chat. But they can feel free to invite me any time!!! #btvcc #vtpoli

Over the last year, Democrats on the Burlington City Council routinely used a group chat to discuss city business, coordinate votes and gossip about their Progressive colleagues. https://t.co/YN8yf0pNlW #btvcc #vtpoli

But while the practice was indeed legal, transparency advocates say it violates the spirit of the law. Read about it in this week's @sevendaysvt. #btvcc #vtpoli https://t.co/YN8yf0pNlW

Town Meeting Day is the only time I miss this website (and even then, mostly I just miss TweetDeck.) #tmdvt #vtpoli

@AlexSVenet @vtdigger @vermontpublic The Reddit post is based on outdated information. I was at a subsequent meeting when the permit was approved.

Burlington police terrified high school students this week when they staged a mock shooting in an attempt to teach them about the unreliability of witness statements. My latest, with @CFlandersVT

The lawsuit seeks to ban the use of ketamine to restrain people in mental health crisis. It also questions the diagnosis of "excited delirium," a controversial syndrome that's disproportionately applied to Black people and that's been denounced by medical experts. #btv

My latest scoop in @sevendaysvt: The mother of a 14-yr-old Black teen sues the City of #BTV, alleging excessive force by @OneNorthAvenue and racial bias by police and @btvfire. https://t.co/Rqz7fm6JdW

Three decades after voters ended #RentControl in Massachusetts, rents have exploded. For renters, only California and Hawaii are more expensive than Massachusetts, per @NLIHC. To afford a modest 2-bed apt. at $2,165 per month in MA, a renter would need to earn almost $42 an hour.

Just in: #btv took the unprecedented step this week of suspending the Handys' rental permit for 184 Church Street, a notorious building with more than three-dozen code violations. https://t.co/UXSf5Sv5QQ

@dancastrigano The headline is referring to the resolution that called for a ceasefire, not the activists who were. See second sentence in the story: "But the resolution failed because it also called for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war ..."
