To the editor: I m surprised that Representative Emily Kornheiser has introduced a bill with a residency clause that will deny thousands of private property owners the right to register their rentals unless they live on-site for 270 days ( Bill addresses short term rental issues, March 2).
This bill will shut down thousands of private lodging establishments that are now accommodating traveling nurses, seasonal employees, students and other paying guests. These vacation rentals have been the heart and soul of Vermont s hospitality brand for hundreds of years and contribute millions of dollars in taxes. In contrast to her hard-working Vermont constituents, the corporate owners of the Holiday Inn will certainly be happy with Representative Kornheiser s bill.
