Send in the peacekeepers!
Officials in the popular ski resort area of Killington want the town to secede from Vermont and join neighboring New Hampshire in a dispute over taxes.

Killington's Select Board wants to put the secession idea before voters on Town Meeting Day in March.
Secretary of State Deborah Markowitz said Killington has little chance of secession "absent an armed insurrection type of thing. ... A town is a construction of the state and exists at the pleasure of the Legislature."
The ISM better send some Eager Young People to protest the crushing of their dissent and support their right to self-determination. As for myself, I shall strut around nude to express my solidarity.
