In what way is Vermont one of the poorest states?
1 comments

There are a lot of very poor communities in Vermont, though I doubt Vermont is poor by median household income. I don't have the numbers in front of me but in terms of corporate tax base, Vermont is probably quite poor compared to NY or CA.

Ben and Jerry's can only foot so much of the tax bill.
