Vermont Goes Opt-In, Corps Unhappy

Naturally, companies aren't happy, and trade groups are suing the state, claiming the law will raise costs of doing business and hurt consumers."

    Some of us also take some pride in living in the only state that doesn't have a McDonalds in its capital city.

    Or living in the last state to get a Wal Mart. Though we've got three of them now, IIRC. Plus Burlington got a Starbucks sometime in the last year, or so.
