Seeing things like this can have real impacts on our neighbors and make them feel uncomfortable, less than, or downright afraid. This same hate group has targeted @outrightvermont @PrideCenterVT and the @OhaviZedek synagogue, as well as other locations in #BTV #VT.

Dave's Corner 💭
Recently, we've been having some trouble with WCAX as one of our news sources. The Bing News API, which generates our news section, has been mixing up the contents of one WCAX story with the headline of another story. If this persists, we will potentially replace WCAX with a different local TV station as a news source.
