Vermont DMV Eases Car Inspection Rules to Reduce Costs for Drivers

A legislative panel in Vermont has approved significant updates to the state's car inspection manual, effective September 1. These changes will allow mechanics to pass passenger cars and light trucks that previously would have failed inspection due to issues like minor brake rust, superficial tire cracks, and certain dashboard warning lights. The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) fast-tracked these revisions following legislation enacted in June, which mandated that vehicles should only fail inspection if a condition poses an 'immediate safety risk.' Ben Shelp, chief inspector at the DMV, stated that the primary goal of these changes is to make vehicle ownership more affordable for Vermonters. The revised manual also eliminates the requirement for mechanics to road test vehicles, aiming to reduce labor costs. Specific changes include allowing vehicles with 'rust' on rotors to pass unless the oxidation has progressed to 'pitting,' and permitting tires with 'weather cracks' that do not extend deeply...

Vermont Governor Supports Continued Participation in Federal Border Patrol Program Amid Deputy Investigation

Vermont Governor Supports Continued Participation in Federal Border Patrol Program Amid Deputy Investigation

Vermont Governor Phil Scott has stated that the state should continue its involvement in Operation Stonegarden, a federal program that allows local police to patrol the U.S.-Canadian border. This statement comes amidst an ongoing investigation into Chittenden County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Costella. Deputy Costella is accused of violating Vermont’s Fair and Impartial Policing policy by handing over a migrant farmworker to immigration officials while working under the federal program. Vermont's policy explicitly prohibits state law enforcement officers from engaging in immigration enforcement. Operation Stonegarden, a post-9/11 initiative, enables local law enforcement to receive overtime pay for border security patrols, primarily for national security purposes. Advocates have called for Vermont to withdraw from the program, arguing that it blurs the lines between civil immigration law and criminal law.

Dartmouth Health to Discontinue Telehealth Services for Rural Hospitals in Vermont and New Hampshire

Dartmouth Health to Discontinue Telehealth Services for Rural Hospitals in Vermont and New Hampshire

Dartmouth Health is ending its telehealth services for emergency and intensive care programs that have been utilized by rural hospitals across Vermont and New Hampshire. These services allowed smaller hospitals to consult with Dartmouth specialists during critical, life-threatening emergencies. Hospital leaders from facilities in St. Albans, Brattleboro, and northern New Hampshire confirmed that while not used daily, these programs significantly enhanced patient care in their rural communities. The TeleICU and TeleEmergency programs provided expert consultation for cases such as cardiac arrest and major trauma, often preventing the need for patient transfers to larger medical centers. For instance, North Country Healthcare, which manages hospitals in Berlin and Lancaster, New Hampshire, used TeleICU for 211 patients and TeleEmergency for 105 patients last year. The discontinuation means these rural hospitals will lose a direct and immediate line to specialized medical expertise during critical situations.
