I also am confused by this. They are so poor we (property rich towns )have to donate to them!??[/QUOTE]
The article is pretty misleading. The Claremont entry is for the Lebanon-Claremont, NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area which includes many Upper Valley towns on both sides of the Connecticut River. Including affluent towns like Hanover, Lebanon, Plainfield and Lyme, on the NH side and Thetford, Pomfret, Norwich, Hartford(Quechee) on the VT side. Claremont itself is only a small portion of the area.
