To the Editor:Inflation, higher prices, cost of education and affordability are terms we hear as politicians discuss the cost of living on the national and local levels. Vermonters have become accustomed to this affordability discussion since the state has had one of the highest costs of living for many years. Vermont is a top five state in the tax burden it places on its residents according to sources like WalletHub and Turbo Tax.

To the Editor:The South Burlington School District budget failed to gain voter approval and we have been told Montpelier is to blame. That may be true, but does it really matter when it comes to the next vote. Montpelier defines the rules that govern education funding and the new rules have been known for two years. It’s now up to school districts to adjust and change. We are now being asked to vote on a revised budget that contains program and personnel cuts and a double-digit tax increase.

I am Bryan Companion and I am announcing my candidacy for the two-year term on the South Burlington School Board. My wife Vivian and I moved to South Burlington over 40 years ago and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. At the time we had no children, but knew we wanted to live in a growing community with excellent schools. We knew of South Burlington’s excellent reputation, and I had many friends who worked in the district.
