Clueless! Not for the first time, or even the second, you cut off clues for the crossword puzzle in the May 12 issue. One line, if not two, is totally missing. Please, please double check this before the paper goes to print. Thank you very much. Nan Moses
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.

Steve Kinney, an imprisoned Vermont, took the COVID-19 vaccination shot and said he felt fine after.
Zachary Butts, who is also incarcerated, has not taken the shot, citing a distrust of the corrections system and a desire for more information, according to his fiancee Heather Bailey.
The two men are among more than 1,200 Vermont incarcerated individuals who have been offered the vaccine across the state’s correctional system, which is currently reporting a refusal rate of 34% (810 people who have gotten the shot; 421 have declined).

BENNINGTON â A Bennington woman was sentenced Tuesday to three years to life in prison for sexually assaulting a teenage boy while she was living in his home.
The woman, Stephanie Duval, 22, was sentenced under the terms of her plea deal with the state. She pleaded guilty in February to sexual assault (no consent). She admitted having sex with a 14-year-old boy in October 2017 at a Bennington home where sheâd been staying.
The prosecutor said Duval entered the boyâs bedroom, got on his bed and assaulted him. She continued even after the boy asked her to leave. She was 18, whereas he was below the age of consent.
