Rutland County, Vermont
Rutland County · the city is a city · Killington is a town here
City, Town, marble, mountain
Rutland is a geographic county. The shire is Rutland City. Rutland Town is different. Towns run towns. The county is thin: assistant judges, courthouse, county tax, statutory support for the Sheriff. Ludlow is Windsor. Bennington is Bennington County. Chittenden the town is this county, not Chittenden County.
This page is Side One. The Sheriff’s job is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Rutland County.
Land — marble, Bomoseen, a west-slope mountain
Proctor marble. Lake Bomoseen. Killington ridge. New York line at Fair Haven. No ocean. No capital dome. Staff who paste a Bennington monument onto Rutland are on the wrong county.
Politics, law, technology, education
City charter in Rutland. Selectboards elsewhere. Assistant judges on a four-year clock. Confirm 24 V.S.A. § 73. Castleton’s campus is a neighbor. DOC’s Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility is in this shire and is still DOC.
Outreach, justice, rights, remedy, relief, service
Pawlet is not the City. Brandon looks north. Crime and fire are city and town, State Police, or a sheriff contract. Civil process is the Sheriff. Rights do not change at the Killington line. Remedy for Rutland City Police is the City. Relief in a mountain washout is mutual aid. Service of a paper is still a person at a door in Mount Tabor.
