Cool, I wonder if the article can be found online. |

Cool, I wonder if the article can be found online. NH Sunday News is the same as The Union Leader (just a different name on Sunday). If you go to theunionleader.com and do a Vermont secede search, you will find several stories about several towns. Hope that is helpful. |

Thank you much, Gray, for the links. I can't imagine Winhall, N.H., Vermont and Congress must all agree. Obviously if they have a grievance with Vermont, then it would be between the town, New Hampshire and maybe Congress (though truly I don't see much need for Congress to approve it). Ideally, it would seem as though if the town and N.H. agreed then state control would change at which point Vermont could appeal it but luckily I'm ignorant.  Even a town enclosed by one state shouldn't seem to pose a major problem. At least in the original Articles of Confederation there were protections to trade and traffic of people between states, so state boundaries don't really have much real affect, except for jurisdiction. |

though truly I don't see much need for Congress to approve it
The closest I could found was Article 4, Section 3 of the US Constitution: "Section. 3. Clause 1: New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress. " But that seems to only govern new states, not parts of states joining other current states.... JM |

Viral marketing at its best! Towns just keep adding themselves to NH and pretty soon it's the whole country |

JM It also doesn't say that a part of a state needs congressional aproval to simply secede and form it's own independent state. The Congressional Aproval part is only is that part of a state that secede wants to become part of the union as well. Tracy |

The Killington plan is that NH will have to approve the measure in the legislature, maybe, maybe not. Then VT has to agree to let Killington go, and then I'm not sure if congress need to get involved. I imagine the congress will only be necessary if NH and VT cannot agree, which we won't. Remember that VT milks Killington for 19 million a year, they won't give up that revenue without one tough fight.
