Dear Reader,

Slate Ridge tensions. A 2020 spike in home sales to out-of-state buyers. Penalties for an unlicensed fight promoter. Drought conditions afflict the state. How Vermontโ€™s small towns will spend federal relief dollars.

Help us ensure that we continue covering news that is important to you. There are only four days left in our Spring Drive, and we still need 400 members to join us with a donation.

Make a gift to support VTDiggerโ€™s public service journalism today, and it will be matched dollar for dollar by a group of generous donors. Will you help us get to the finish line?

Our reporters are always digging on your behalf. We build sources, pore through public records and talk to people on the ground to bring you rigorous reporting on politics, crime and justice, health care, education, environment and business.

We are also a hub for community discourse with our Letters to the Editor and Commentary sections, press releases and obituaries.

VTDigger is a nonprofit digital news source, which means that we rely on our readers to support our mission and make our work possible.

We are only 400 members away from hitting our Spring Drive goal of sending books to 3,000 Vermont kids through our partnership with the Childrenโ€™s Literacy Foundation.

Your gift will have double the impact today due to our dollar-for-dollar match. Will you help us reach our goal?

Your gift amount will be doubled, and we will send one book for each donation we receive.

As the pandemic continues to illustrate, a healthy local news ecosystem is vital to a healthy society. Thank you for your readership and support.

Steadfastly yours,

Anne Galloway
