Have you ever wondered what your legislator does when they're not serving at the Statehouse? Our new tool opens the books of Vermont's top politicians to create a first-ever "Full Disclosure." #vtpoli (1/4)

belated announcement, but i’m back at @csmonitor, now as assistant photo editor! as i get going, i’m hoping to expand our freelance photog network — if you’re interested in working with us, whether in the US or abroad, drop me a line: robinsonr@csmonitor.com

and the one that taught me the word “stuckages,” about how trucks get unstuck from Smugglers Notch. what a joy.

this oral-history inspired ep that took me into the UVM archives, and introduced me to the women behind the Vermont Women’s Health Clinic

this one, about a local zoning debate and the future of the landscape in Williston (but also, Vermont, more broadly)

my last episode, with the wonderful @ehcotton

big thank you to everyone who trusted their story to me and this mic. it’s an honor every single time. gonna thread some of my favorite episodes here—

packed up my floor-of-the-closet sound studio, because i’m handing off the Deeper Dig podcast to @SamGaleRosen! today is my last, lovely, bittersweet day at @vtdigger — a newsroom full of brilliant people who have taught me so much.

Happy Town Meeting Day, folks. The polls have closed, in-person meetings have ended (I hope!) and the @vtdigger newsroom has vegan/gluten-free pizza, chips, reporter-provided blackberries, The Election Night Cat and results, here: https://t.co/YBpnEFjdTW

After a school board race in which a proposed equity policy divided the candidates, Milton voters reelected Jeremy Metcalf and Melinda Young — supporters of the policy — as school trustees Tuesday. #vtpoli #tmdvt https://t.co/LVD59EyIMQ

Essex town voters approved a 22% property tax increase Tuesday, according to preliminary results provided by Town Clerk Susan McNamara-Hill, on the first Town Meeting Day since Essex Junction separated from the town to become its own city. #vtpoli #tmdvt

The Vermont Senate has taken the unconstitutional position that it can shut out reporters from committee meetings and do the public's business behind closed doors. Seven Vermont news organizations, including @vtdigger, have signed this letter calling on lawmakers to let us in.

On the latest Deeper Dig with @rirob111 and @sarah_mearhoff: The towns that could benefit most from federal grant programs are often the least equipped to pursue them. Both lawmakers and Gov. Phil Scott are considering ways to change that. #vtpoli

Really nice work @HuntNewsNU https://t.co/cHU5g4g9tm

As Vermonters prepare to vote on whether to protect abortion rights in the state constitution, @rirob111 brings us the story of the Vermont Women's Health Center — the first women-run org of its kind in the U.S. Catch this week's Deeper Dig podcast here:

another question for #vted — is there a vermont school district that has done a really great job at teacher retention? what makes you want to stay at your school or district? drop me a line here or at rrobinson @ https://t.co/jXSQg2R13e.

i’ve seen comments online that people don’t understand what teachers are working with, and how difficult it is to be an educator right now… i want talk with you, so we can all understand a bit better. DM or email me: rrobinson [@] vtdigger . org

hey #vted, i want to talk to former VT educators. did you retire early? decide to leave the profession for something else? i want to dig deeper on the teacher shortage for the @vtdigger podcast

when i spoke with someone from DCF earlier today, the dept was still processing applications… out of the 1600 vermont households enrolled in the GA program, about 1350 had shifted to transitional housing. (renews in three month blocks for more stability.) story to come @vtdigger
