KhanJohnny 07/01/18 9:01:17 AM #1:	Daydreaming about moving somewhere less populated, maybe to where you can ski in your down time and tap trees for maple syrup? If so, Vermont is beckoning, and might even pay you for your trouble. On Wednesday, Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican, signed into law a bill that will give a number of people who move to Vermont from another state up to $10,000 to help ease the transition. The money part of a grant program designed to draw tech workers and revitalize the states aging work force is intended to help with costs like relocation, computer software and hardware, broadband access and membership in a shared professional space. Those who relocate and take part in the program need to be full-time employees of a business based outside of Vermont and need to be able to work remotely. They also must become a full-time Vermont resident in 2019. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/us/vermont-moving-money.html <cite>KhanJohnny posted [p:904291378] in Vermont su...
