Dear Editor, The Fresh Air Fund looks forward to celebrating National Volunteer Week every year. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our inspiring volunteers, hosts and supporters in Central Vermont. Their dedication to our Fresh Air children truly embodies the spirit of National Volunteer Week, which is from April 15th to April 21st this year. Volunteers work in several capacities throughout the year along the East Coast and Southern Canada to help make The Fresh Air Fund’s programs possible. Fresh Air host families open their hearts and homes, and share the everyday joys of summertime with Fresh Air children. Our local volunteer leaders – many of whom are also hosts – serve on our committees, interview prospective host families, publicize the program, and plan summer activities. Individuals and local businesses also give generously of their time and resources to make The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program a great success throughout Central Vermont each summer. Anecdotally and in survey results, we are seeing that The Fresh Air Fund is as relevant today as it was when it was founded over 140 years ago. As we hear from alumni and con- • • • • • • The Chamber Support Bills that Will Grow the Economy • • • nect with long standing host families, we continue to learn how Fresh Air Fund summers have impacted lives—and continue to transform lives many years later. We have learned that a summer can last a lifetime. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. First time Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from seven to 12 years old, who live in New York City. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips. For more information on how you can get involved, please contact your local volunteer leader, Laura Davidson, at 802- 728-6456 or visit www.freshair.org. Sincerely, Fatima Shama. Executive Director, The Fresh Air Fund GUEST OPINION Regarding Guns Dear Editor, Advocates of unrestricted gun laws repeat the mantra, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” And if we were to truly outlaw guns, they might have a point. But there is nothing in the recently passed Vermont gun safety law that outlaws or even contemplates outlawing guns. The NRA repeats a similar refrain. They claim efforts to pass any sort of gun regulation are an erosion of the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. That message is repeated so often many people are absolutely certain it’s true. But what exactly are the rights the Second Amendment conveys? Writing for the Supreme Court majority in 2008, Justice Anton Scalia said “The Second Amendment should not be understood as conferring a “right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” In providing examples of laws it considered “presumptively lawful,” the Court included imposing conditions of the commercial sale of firearms. S.55 that recently passes both House and Senate will ban the purchase of high capacity magazines and also the purchase or possession of bump stocks. Why is that important? While the general population has been prohibited from owning fully automatic weapons since 1934, adding a bump stock and a high capacity magazine to an otherwise simple hunting rifle makes the weapon a killing machine capable of firing scores or rounds without interruption. That is precisely the type of weapon the Supreme Court anticipated prohibiting. A rifle with just a high capacity magazine can be nearly as lethal. S.55 doesn’t outlaw guns. Instead, it works well within the bounds of the Second Amendment to reduce senseless killing with weapons in the hands of people who have no business having them in the first place. Representative Jim Masland Thetford Center By William D. Moore, President & CEO The baseball season opened last week. March Madness has ended. It’s Masters Week. Snow, disappearing in the flatlands, is still abundant in the mountains. The crocus have popped through. All of which points to one thing: The General Assembly has made the clubhouse turn and is at the top of the home stretch. As a membership organization that advocates on behalf of the business community, the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce has been active at the General Assembly this year. We have been following several issues as they have been working their way through the legislative process. Through a very deliberative process, the Central Vermont Chamber stakes out public policy positions on issues that can have a positive or negative effect on Vermont’s economy. Our volunteers assist us at the State House and we work with several like-minded groups to help convince legislators to support bills that will grow the economy and create jobs. House last year which includes six weeks of paid family leave. The maximum benefit could be up to $1,042 per week. We are concerned that the tax on the employees may not be enough to cover the total cost of the program and that employers will have to pick up a portion of the tax. We continue to oppose increasing the minimum wage beyond the scheduled increases already agreed to in 2014. Under an agreement crafted in 2014, the minimum wage will begin to be indexed next year. Under the Senate-passed proposal, the increases will go to $11.10 on January 1, 2019, $11.75 on January 1, 2020, $12.50 on January 1, 2021, $13.25 on January 1, 2022, $14.10 on January 1, 2023 and $15.00 on January 1, 2024. The legislature’s own economic analysis points to thousands of jobs being lost as a result of the proposal. Studies show that increasing to $15.00 per hour will have a negative impact by causing employers to reduce hours for those earning the minimum wage. The increase will also put pressure on companies to increase prices as they will not absorb the cost of the increase. One of our policy positions is to rely exclusively on property taxes to fund education. It is for this reason that we oppose H 911 which transfers partial funding of education to We are concerned about H 196, a proposal passed by the the income tax. continued on page 17
