📰 News we're reading

• Essex Junction looking into paying to keep #4 bus afloat (mychamplainvalley.com) — Essex Junction city leaders are weighing whether to spend tens of thousands of dollars to keep the #4 Essex Center bus — and its vital paratransit service — running after Green Mountain Transit voted to cut it back. The decision could affect seniors, disabled riders, and students near Essex Middle and Elementary schools, and may hinge on whether the Town of Essex and the Essex-Westford School District help share the cost.
