Missing Income Sensitivity Thanks for the very detailed article about Burlington s new assessments and ever-increasing property values [ Gilded Age, May 5]. Speaking to actual homeowners while also doing real analysis made it both personal and precise. Surprisingly, there are several key aspects that were not covered: First and foremost, Vermont has income sensitivity for the education portion of the property tax for those with incomes of up to $138,000. For folks with incomes of less than $50,000, the income sensitivity provision even covers municipal taxes. Thus, for folks with limited incomes, the assessed value is often moot since people pay based on their income.
A monarch butterfly on a sunflower When Laura Hill bought a house in Burlington s Old North End, she was warned about the lead. Until it was banned in the U.S. in 1978, lead paint was used in many homes. Lead remediation had been done inside the home, but Hill said there were likely still high levels of lead on and around the outside walls and in the soil. It struck me, because it was my neighborhood and I saw people growing food in their yards next to their house, she said. Hill is a plant biologist and senior lecturer at the University of Vermont. I m always looking for ways to improve life with plants, she said.
