Good evening,

We now have 84 signatures, 54 people sharing and over 1000 petition views on line! 

For the City of Vergennes we have printed and began distributing our first Vermont Town Meeting Day petitions for registered voters to as the selectman to include a warning for March 4th to vote on two articles: 

We the undersigned legal voters of the City of Vergennes, hereby petition the city council of the City of Vergennes, Vermont to place the following Article on the warning for the Annual Town Meeting to be held on the 4 day of March, 2025. This petition is filed pursuant to 24 V.S.A. § 2691. We certify that we are presently voters of that city. The Article to be placed on the warning to read:

Article 1: Shall the Vergennes city council  demand the Vermont Governor and legislature commit to and sign into law the following:

“Environmental Preservation - As enacted, prohibits the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight.”

Article 2: Shall the Vergennes city council request  the AGENCY OF NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division to modify the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION RULE CHAPTER 21 WATER SUPPLY RULE as follows:

Under 6.8 Inorganic Chemical Monitoring Requirements add a new section

“6.8.2 All Public water system suppliers shall make monthly monitoring results available to their Vermont citizens for the following:

 Table 6-1 - CONTAMINANT STANDARDS 

 Sec 3. Primary Inorganic Chemicals

 Barium 2 mg/l 

 Mercury 0.002 mg/l 

 Sec 8. Radionuclides

 Strontium-901 8 pCi/l5 

 6.13 Secondary Standards

 Table 6-3 SECONDARY CONTAMINANT STANDARDS

 Aluminum 0.2 mg/l” 

The undersigned respectfully request that the article be acted upon by all voters of the city by Australian ballot.

Note: the  town petitions will be worded differently based on helpful inputs from  town clerks and other town officials. 

Additionally,  over the past few days we were able to capture the Flight tracks of US Air Force KC-135R and  KC-46A tankers as they  flew patterns over Vermont. 

They appear to be coming from an Airfield in Bangor Maine.  The former DOW Air Force Base was a huge airfield complex with 4500 Airmen and 16,000 families and support personnel during the Cold War. The airfield is now home to Bangor International Airport.  It would be great if someone is going up there to see if these huge USAF tankers are located there and verify if the wing pylons holding the engines include spray nozzles protruding directly above the jet engines. WARNING don't trespass.
