On the local Burlington subreddit yesterday they said graffiti at the airport implied there was a bomb on the plane. Local reddit is always right, so take that to the bank.

This is contracting 101. They really should have had separate charge numbers for studying and releasing.

If we round the figures a little, about 0% of it is pipe cost.
Everything important is the cutting/digging/trenching costs.

Most of northern Vt is closer to Montreal than Boston.

Yeah, bean counters would look at an 8 year payback and go "eh... okay, borderline, lets find the budget for it."
Politicians run on 4 year election cycles. Depending where you are in the cycle, it might need results in as little as a year or they won't get any payoff.

there were rumors in the early 90s that one of the astronauts was pregnant and the government wanted to study the effects of space travel on prenatal care. however it wasn't really public because of the ethics involved with experimentation on a non-consenting subject. the gossip was that whatever happened did not turn out favorable and the lady eventually committed suicide in a furnace

Yeah, but if you're flying into Albany might as well fly into Burlington :)

Only to Burlington, not the rest of VT. And it involves crossing the border. Twice!

That's specifically why I like TC- it works like a real airport, just... So Tiny.

If you like Traverse City, check out some of the ones in the UP like Houghton or Marquette. The person x-raying your bags is the same one taking your tickets and wheeling the stairs out to the plane.
