2017 info night presentation on a tax increment financing bond the town expects to put on the ballot for approval at the March 7, 2017 election. Education fund taxes on properties in the TIF district, to the extent they exceed those paid in 2012, are split 75-25 between the town and the state instead of going 100 percent to the state. The Hartford TIF district has a debt ceiling of 13 million; 1.8 million has been bonded to date. The new bond will add about 2 million and focuses on infrastructure improvements to the wastewater and storm water system in the core of White River Junction, along with monies to plan out in detail much of the remaining anticipated work.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
