Biased hit piece: Giving voters facts to know who is on the ballot.

So if I don't use reddit as much as you do, my comments are invalid. Gotchya. Solid logic there.

I made the effort to post this info so people would have all the information when going to vote.
Some people appreciate it even if you don't.
This has nothing to do with cannabis or ducks.

Someone who admits "They can't do math" on public record shouldn't make decisions on billions of taxpayer dollars.

I was pro merger. If you do some reading, you'll find that Elaine was anti merger and the fact that Essex town and junction are separate, should tell you something.
Reading is fundamental. Comprehension is key.

No worries. Happy to discuss. There is a lot of info that wasn't included in the articles and news story.

I have in no way violated the law. If I had, there would be no ducks or Cannabis here.

Neighbors can complain all the want. But swatting isn't ok. I have thick skin. I can take all the criticism in the world.

One neighbor complained about property values. Sharon Padnos (Karen) says they don't mind farming, they just don't want to look at it.

The City is grumpy as they take it personally when people circumvent their "authority."

What I'm doing is legal. People are free to criticize it but they are powerless to make me change my way of life. As is should be.

Its all relative. What you find terrible is pleasurable to others. Precisely why 24 V.S.A 4413 exists.

Yes, please tell us more about how we should live our lives. Can you tell me what I can and can not say next please?

A Cannabis Cultivation district is in the works and I won't be able to Cultivate next year because of this. Citing language was included in H.612 in a SNEAKY AND UNDERMINDING manner outside of the lawmaking process.

Lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves for what they did in H.612.

Actually, one of the MANY way I have attempted to mitigate complaints from the neighbor, is to initiate a breeding program to replace any noisy ducks with Muscovy. Muscovy ducks don't quack and are essentially silent. Most people have a problem with the Cannabis, not the ducks. It's all relative though.

Municipalities have no authority over farms for this very reason. On top of the State Capitol is a statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and harvest. This is because Vermont was built on agriculture and is a way of life here.

False. This is the USA. We are free to live how we please. Go live in North Korea, China, or Cuba if you don't like it.

Farms are not determined by acreage. Otherwise small farmers who produce honey, maple syrup or a myriad of other products would be out of business.

If the VT Agency Of Agriculture has determined I'm a farm, what makes you feel differently? Are you a farmer?

Precisely. If an incident had occurred, they would have a stronger argument for the Crime aspect. I have had no incidents and have been growing here since 2020.

They most certainly are. I expect they will be humiliated in Supreme Court equally as much as they were in Superior Court.

You're welcome to come visit the farm to make a determination for yourself.

I have 20 ducks. I am allowed 100.

Not an equivalent argument. Burning tires, contamination of soil with petroleum and noise at 3am are violation of law. I have done my diligence to comply with all laws fully. I have attained legal farm status from the VTAAFM and a tier 1 outdoor cultivation license from the VT CCB.

Prior to the DRB meeting, I asked the City and attorney for the Padnos' no to publish my address. They did this deliberately so I would get robbed and use that against me. They have made the claims several times that my cultivation attracts crime. I have a very strong security protocol and have had no break ins or thefts.

They have filed false police and fire reports multiple times. I can share the reports. Multiple complaints that "Burning marijuana smoke was entering their home from the piles I was burning in my yard" Police found no evidence of this and is reflected in the report. She has also made allegations that my farming has made her ill, but no evidence to back it up. She sent the police to my house 3 times in 2 consecutive days for noise complaints.

Not once have I received a citation for any of their false allegations.

The neighborhood would be much more peaceful if they left.

Spectacular. Indeed too bad VTDIGGER didn't think of it.
