Vermont Yankee is only getting older

A leak in one of Vermont Yankee's cooling towers has Vermont officials and legislators concerned that the owner of the nuclear power plant in Vernon is not doing all that it promised to insure the plant operates safely.

A Vermont Yankee internal document leaked to the Brattleboro Reformer late Friday night also appears to call into question whether new inspection and maintenance procedures had yet to be initiated.

Vermont, the "Feel Good" State

Launching today is the newest member of the Politicker family, PolitickerVT. This is a link to my first cartoon there. House Speaker Gaye Symington (D) thinks things are going great in the Green Mountain State. So great that Republican Governor Jim Douglas should stop yammering on about things that still need to get done, and just sit back and live the good life.

"I want to shift the discussion in Vermont," [Speaker Symington] explained in an unspoken reference to Republican Gov. Jim Douglas' penchant for talking about what's bad, such as high property taxes or complex environmental permit procedures. "If we only talk about our challenges," she said, "we lose sight of what our strengths are."
