Burlington Water Resources - Rates, Fees and Affordability Programs Project 04/14/2021

Burlington's Water Resources Division is proud to provide many essential services, including the production and distribution of clean, safe drinking water to our residents and businesses. In July of 2019, the Water Resources Division began a comprehensive effort to ensure that our utility had sustainable funding to maintain and enhance our high-quality level of service.

The two primary goals of this proposal are equity and affordability.

Sustainable funding is crucial to ensuring access to clean water. Burlington's water infrastructure requires ongoing maintenance, repairs, and generational upgrades to produce and distribute clean water to our users. However, access to the essential water needed to live can be jeopardized when utility costs become unaffordable.

In 2021, Burlington's Water Resources Division will be proposing a final plan that allows their robust operations and continued long term capital improvements to flourish. The current proposal aims to provide equitable costs based on user demand, and expand and enhance affordability programs for our users.

This webinar is an Open House for the public comment on the project.

Media Justice: Media Justice 101 - Part 2 - Español 04/13/2021

This program is the Spanish language version of cctv.org/watch-tv/programs/media-justice-101-part-2.

At the turn of the 21st century, a new movement dubbed Media Justice was formed. At the time, media activists were fighting the consolidation of media from giant corporations like Viacom, Disney and Clear Channel. In the span of a decade, these media giants would be surpassed by a new class of monopoly power, Silicon Valley. These new tech giants rely on a business model centered on collecting every bit of data they can about you. This data has been used to target ads, fuel racists algorithms, and build powerful surveillance tools like facial recognition software. Racial disparities our communities face offline in policing, education, housing, etc. are shifting online.

Join us to learn how the Media Justice movement has evolved beyond media representation to challenge the technological giants that are shaping communication in our world today. Come discuss movement building in the internet age as we continue to fight for access and against surveillance.

The Vermont Democratic Party hosts “A Closer Look at the American Rescue Plan” featuring U.S. Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Leahy, Congressman Peter Welch, Vermont Senate President Pro Tempore Becca Balint, and Vermont Speaker Jill Krowinski The event is hosted and moderated by DNC Committeewoman Mary Sullivan and DNC Committeeman Tim Jerman.

The conversation provides a behind-the-scenes look at how the American Rescue Plan was built and how it will impact all Vermonters.

Just 50 days after taking office, President Biden and Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP), the most consequential piece of legislation for working families in modern American history, a critical step to get us through this collective moment of crisis and eventually recover from the pandemic.

We've been experiencing the impact of the ARP here in Vermont as it is delivering immediate financial relief to families, supporting small businesses and vaccinating more people throughout the country against the coronavirus as our state builds back better together. Our federal delegation worked hard to bring this bill to life, and our Vermont legislature is taking crucial steps to make sure that this historic victory has the most impact on the lives of all Vermonters.
