1178.6	FYI on VT.	BTOVT::REMILLARD_K		`Thu Aug 13 1992 07:32`	26
	re .4 Nope. It's a growth control law called ACT 200. Landowners say it's an attack on their property rights. Lots of land has been posted because of it. It has to do with regional authorities getting the say in developement, and tieing some town funding to the town's involvement with these authorities. No involvement - no funds. Kind of like what the Fed's do with the drinking age limit. The best sign I saw was at the junction of RT's 108/109 in Cambridge, which read like this (sign was posted in a large manure pile): FREE MANURE We Can Give Some - But We Won't Take Any REPEAL ACT 200 Actually the VT Constitution guarantees the right to "hunt, fish, and fowl." No PROP 200 (like in AZ) here...but that doesn't mean the anti's aren't here...there's more and more every day it seems. Kevin

1178.8	it was defeated	CSC32::J_HENSON	Faster than a speeding ticket	`Tue Nov 10 1992 17:39`	14
	>> <<< Note 1178.7 by DNEAST::GOULD_RYAN >>> >> -< What happened ? >- >> So, what was the result on election day ? Was prop 200 defeated ? According to a noter in another conference (SPORTS), it was defeated by a 52 to 48 margin. I haven't heard anything to the contrary, so I assume that this information is correct. Jerry P.S. Also according to the same noter, the NRA spent a lot of money fighting this. I think that all of us hunters owe the NRA a big thank you.
1178.9		SA1794::CHARBONND	now watch Sarah gloat	`Wed Nov 11 1992 02:57`	2
	Well, the media hasn't said diddly, and most anti-hunting or anti-gun measures are their darlings, so it must have failed ;-)
