Aggressive Fox Sparks Warnings @ Vermont's Mount Tom

VERMONT – Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and the Woodstock Police Department are urging caution after receiving multiple reports of an agressive fox near the Faulkner Trail on Mount Tom. Rabies is a suspected cause.

If anyone encounters agressive wildlife in the area around Mount Tom, they should immediately notify local police or park staff. If you come in contact with an agressive animal, seek medical attention immediately.

Rabies spreads through saliva, potentially during a scratch, bite, or mucus membrane contact. With proper medical care, rabies is very preventable in people, but it becomes very fatal if it goes untreated before developing. Animals that behave in an unusual or agressive manner, or who don’t appear to fear humans, should be considered to have rabies. All mammals are susceptible to the disease.

Take the following precautions to protect yourself from rabies:

Visitors should observe all wildlife from a safe and respectful distance and never pick up or handle a wild animal. Never approach or touch wildlife. If you see sick or erratic behaving wildlife, notify a park employee at 802-457-3368 or call the Woodstock Police Department at 802-457-2337.
Anyone who has had contact with a wild animal in the park should notify a park employee as soon as possible. You should consult with your doctor in the event you have contacted an animal thought to be rabid.
Pets should always be on a leash of no more than 6-feet when on park trails.
Visitors with pets should ensure that all rabies vaccinations are up to date and should discuss any wildlife bites with their veterinarian.

Rep. Balint comments on ask for anti-poverty funding from White House

RUTLAND, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont’s federal delegation is demanding the White House release funding for local community action groups.

Vermont congressional leaders wrote the Trump administration earlier this week to urge the release of community service block grant funding for the state. Vermont would have received $4 million, helping fund community action organizations. There are currently 5 scattered across the state.

Congresswoman Becca Balint told WCAX: “Any funding that we secured was not taking into account the fact that prices were going to go up even more because of the war. The whole reason the Republicans said they needed to pass the so called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ last summer was to get people’s tax cuts.”

The funding provides financial aid and helps administer head start and energy assistance programs.

Noah Kahan backs Vermont bill targeting ticket scalpers

MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont musical sensation Noah Kahan is supporting a state bill aiming to crack down on ticket scalpers.

House Bill 51 would cap the amount that tickets could be resold for and stop tickets from being sold twice. That way, buyers don’t end up with a ticket already belonging to someone else. It demands that resellers ensure refunds in certain circumstances and proposes annual licenses for ticket resellers.

Kahan offered his support in a video statement to the Senate Economic Development Committee.

“As an artist that cares very deeply about the fan experience and accessibility of concert tickets, this bill is a critical step in eliminating predatory resale behaviors and offer Vermonters a great solution for exchanging and reselling tickets in a safe marketplace,” Kahan said.

The bill also addresses enforcement, authorizing the attorney general to monitor and penalize resellers.

It’s unclear if the bill will move forward this session.
